Use it that way. Keep one thing in mind. As you apply it and wet sand, you are adding moisture to the system. It is cold right now most everywhere and water takes a long time to evaporate in cold and humid environments. Allow the Smooth Prime plenty of time to dry~ you might even need to use a dehumidifier to remove the water from the system. It is imperative that this is done before you apply the epoxy primer. I'm talking make it 80 degrees for several days. Otherwise, the water will be sealed into the primer and top coat. Other than that, good fortune to you.

I am sorry to say that I have found it very difficult to use, as directed, so I tried something new. I mixed it right out of the can in a small quantity and spread it over the pin holes as you would do with spot putty. It was like working with drywall mud. It went on very well, and It is extremely easy to use like this. Here is my question. I know that the directions say that it cannot be wet sanded. I have been wet sanding it with 220 grit and have only seen better results. What are the problems caused by wet sanding? If I can continue to use it like this, it is the answer to my prayers instead of the subject of my cursing.
