What epoxy did you use...???

nice looking stuff man...... can't wait to see what else you post...

if u used 5 min devcom that is the reason it ambers very fast and is not water proff..devcon 30 min 2ton is good to use and wony yellow very fast

Some epoxies say on the label, amber color when dry. The stuff they sell at harbor freight is one.

I use devcon 2ton but im not sure why it happened it worked fine on the popper

What kind of paint did you use. The epoxy will make certain paints run.

sat here for five minutes saying to myself "who is this and why is he thanking me?". flyingfisherman is a student at the school i work at guys. he expressed some interest in plug building when i was working in the shop and he's been a GREAT student the entire process. share as much info with him as you can. you're making me proud with those tail wraps too!

well with a teacher like u john im sure his work can only get better than it is now....
u should be very proud of him...as he should be greatful for a teacher like u.......

awsome job by both of u .....

I use rust-oleum

I looked back at my early work and had the same prob. and it drove me nuts... not sure if you using the same process, but if ur using blo(boiled linseed oil) that and an enamel based primer...you will get the runs. It's the blo seeping through the primer, switch to an oil based primer and you won't have the blo show through. They still need to cure though and all woods dry differently. Hope this helped you out.

he's using spar urethane mark....and bin over that. it's the same process and materials that i use and never had an issue. i will have to check out the plug first hand and see if i can figure it out.

It is tough to tell but could that be soot. Held the flame a little long in one spot or to far away? I messed up one the other day like that. I have also used it to my advantage as well.
