Hi all- I'm attempting my first fiberglassing job, and I've gotten inconsistent coverage- some areas are epoxy-rich, and need to be sanded back, and other areas have the weave of the cloth visible, but are clearly saturated. As I understand things, the latter is the better of the two scenarios- maximum strength (remember, no dry fibers) with minimum weight. Trouble is, I want the finish to be mirror smooth.
What high build primers do you use? I was googling around and found some excellent reviews of a rattle-can 2-part epoxy primer from Eastwood, but it's pricey at $22 per can for the high-rated grey (look for Eastwood 2K Aerospray on Google if my link doesn't work)
Has anyone used this? It seems all the rage in the autobody world, but if I can find something in the $8-10 range, I'd be more comfortable. I have to keep reminding myself this is just a hobby, not a living.
Thanks!
