Hi Netter. I tried to get Smooth Prime but the" locals" had net heard of it. They sold me their "equivalent" Since the plane was upside down I thought that this would be a good time to try the Painting bit on the bottom. The toxic smell is terrible and a carbon respirater is mandatory. I was not impressed with the results. I added some 3M microballoons to the mix and rolled it on. Better results. I like the idea of add a number of layers ,sand the second to last and add a fluid last coat. This sound reasonable for getting rid of pinholes. On the subject of pinholes, will a water soluble urethane seal them?(the ones on fibreglass that is). If so, then do your priming job. I wonder if you took the cheapest 2 component urethane automobile paint available and added 3M microballoons to it to get the right consistancy , you would end up with a cheap substitute for Smooth Prime. (or is that what Smooth Prime really is?) . At one time there was advertised , an aircraft paint that was water soluble. I no longer can find a source for it. If you added 3M microballoons to it you would have an odor free , safe from fire hazzard paint. Any ideas out there? Harold Woods Orillia, ON,Canada [email protected]
