How many coats of clear does he use? It looks like you could toss those babies against a brick wall with nary a scratch.
Howdt SC,
I actually use 2,the first is a thin coat then I use a thick coat for the second.
despite how tough epoxy is it does chip kinda easy if the coats are too thick.
sometimes the finish is not 100% after 2 coats then I scuff the surface with a sanding sponge then try again with some heat.
it usually does work the third time.
I have some shots to send to Mont,some that no one has seen. I'll also share my "oddities" shots too,some really cool Fat baby P-Knutts for sure and all of them swim!

" Gotta get a bigger surf bag"
Monty, I think there's a 12 step program for plug addiction, just like for AA. The meetings are held the 1st of the month, I think they have them at Cape May, Sandy Hook, Demo, and Montauk.
I'll be glad to take ya to one. The way it works is you bring all your excess plugs that are bustin that bag open, and let me personally select the ones you could do without. I'll hold them for safekeeping, and you'll gradually get better. Hey, it might hurt, but it's toughlove, someone's gotta do it!
You're doing a great job on those plug shots, you have them set up to really showcase them. Make sure you post Rip-Plugger's e-mail so anyone can ask him about the plugs, not just the members here.

Those are some sweet plugs. I like the humpback fat mullet.
Nice work RP.
You guys did a very nice job putting these up, sweet looking work! I might suggest, if it's not too much trouble, to put some prices up with the posts. I maight e-mail some of the pics or stripers and anglers links to some of my friends, and it might make it easier for them to decide with the pricing info attached. Otherwise, great job.
