RiverMan Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Michael, You should probably do a search on this topic, it's been talked about literaelly a hundred times or more! Click on TU Search up top and search on the keywords "devcon etex". You will find there is hours and hours of reading to do. That aside, each of us has his own idea of what is "best". I personally feel that we have yet to find a really "good" clearcoat. I think there is one out there but this forum has yet to discover it or let it out of the bag. good luck. jed v.

apb Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 There are a few water based clear coats out there. However, they do not seem to hold up too well. Etex and Devcon will definitely hold up better. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael merrill Posted November 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 What about a marine product?They are supposed to be designed for continual submersion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apb Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Systems Three makes a number of epoxies for marine applications. Their clear coat (a two part epoxy) works well for plugs. You'll need to spin them for 6+ hours after clear coating. Takes 7 days to fully cure. Some tough stuff and looks good. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
