I just tried Kilz primer for the first time yesterday. Wow! In just a few quick squirts (one very quickly applied layer), my fins (unfilled except for an unsuccessful attempt to soak in some thin CA, which deposited a little in the depressions of the balsa) looked like they had been papered. No other filler used. At that, I probably put it on too thick. I'll sand these to thin the primer, remove the masking tape, prime the tube and all (no need to fill the spirals first, based on what I've seen so far), sand to thin if needed, then paint. Do I need a layer of Krylon primer over this stuff for compatibility or best finish, or would that just be a waste of primer? How long should I let the Kilz wait before sanding it? From what I've seen so far, this stuff rocks!
