Deft under Dick Nite?.......(crankbait topcoat thoughts please)

[motomania]

I use Dick Nites to dip my cranks for the final topcoat. And also, when I'm in between coats, to protect the basecoat when I mask for scales, etc.
-
But, seeing how Dick Nite ain't cheap, and can be a bit tricky to store, I'd rather use something cheaper along the way and save the Dick Nite for the final topcoat.
-
My only concern, is that the Deft I used, does not truly cure to a rock hard finish. You can still dig your fingernail in when cured after months; and leave a very faint, but visible dent.
-
If I let the Deft cure several days before the Dick Nite topcoat, does anyone foresee issues occuring in the longterm with the Dick Nite?
-
(I have my thoughts, but want others to give me some input)

Not being familiar with deft I would run a teast to see if dn.s reacts with deft, I've used DN.s over several different epoxys with no issue but have seen some issues while dipping,spraying seems to let the solvent flash off quickly while dipping takes awhile to gas off giving it time to react with whats underneath.
