Fusion clips not matching the color grading applied

I have a timeline with a bunch of clips, and since I used sLog3 I had to grade them to bring the color back and dial down the exposure. However, when trying to add a fusion effect, the clip is ungraded. Is there any way to retain the grading? My clips are shot overexposed so I can obtain the most data but editing them in fusion ungraded means they are so washed out -- it's hard to see things. I tried following what this user suggested (I cannot post URLs apparently... but here is half of it: viewtopic.php?p=594489#p594489) but it seems to have only applied some of the grading. I tried both making a 'Fusion clip' and a 'Compound clip'.

Also, once a clip is "flagged" as a fusion clip, how do I undo that?

Thank you

The fusion page comes before the color in the internal pipeline of the program.
Several ways to work with color in fusion.
You can right click make fusion clip in the edit page, then move to fusion.
Also you can apply lut in fusion with a lut tool. You can export your correction to a lut (if there are no secondary adjustments) and work with the lut in fusion.
And you can always add an adjustment layer on top of the clip to do the fusion work in it. This will effect everything under the adjustment layer.

EDIT: Making my clip into a Fusion clip actually did copy the grading this time (not sure why it didn't the first time). In terms of my questions: how do I remove the existing grading of a fusion clip (i.e. so I can apply a new grading)? Or better still, how do I make a Fusion clip back into a "normal" clip?

Solution:
In EDIT mode: Right click the clip > Open in timeline. Copy the clip, go back to the main timeline and paste. This will paste the base clip which can now be re-graded.

This also actually allows retaining the fusion effects put onto the previous clip. Simply go back to EDIT mode, copy the newly graded clip and Right click the previous fusion clip > Open in Timeline again, delete the clip there and paste the newly graded clip.

It's a somewhat complex process though for something I would expect would be trivial... is this really the only way?
