Bobby, This is the other Mark chiming in here. I too primed my plane with MarHyde Ultimate 2K as Langford did so I could fly and paint later. The only difference is that Langford actually painted the bottom of his plane red prior to his flying, I did not. I will testify that after 70 flight hours, the 2K primer did absorb some oil but it was only on the top layer. Once I had cleaned the surface real good, I then sanded the primer to remove the absorbed oil. This was time consuming as the gummy oil primer would clog the sand paper. Once I got below that top skin of oil impregnated primer all was ok.
