Need help: finish won't hold on a new cue

I've also posted this on the "ask a cuemaker" portion of the forum, but I'm hoping that some one here may have an answer also:

I have a local cue maker that is putting a finish on a new cue (John Davis blank) and there is a small area (approx. 1x1 inch) that won't hold the finish.

The wood is sapelle. The finish is a 2 part high grade automotive clear coat. Most of the cue will hold the finish just fine. It's just one small section that starts to fog up and peels off easily after being applied and dried. He's tried it a few times and even tried prepping it with other a coat something (I can't remember what).

Any one else have this problem? And know of a solution?
 
I read where you should use a hard epoxy under coat to seal the wood under the clear coat.
