I just tried Kilz for the first time. The thing I was concerned about is the weight of my rocket after applying the stuff. I didn't think to weigh the rocket beforehand but now that the Kilz is on it just feels like it weighs a "ton". Anyone else notice this? Am I just paranoid?
Thanks,

I, too, just tried Kilz.
I used a Semroc Lil' Ivan as my test subject. Before using Kilz, it weighed in at 29 grams. One thin coat. Afterwards, 33.5 grams. Almost a 15% increase. My normal method is to use Sandable Primer from either Plasti-Kote or Dupli-Color, but I've never checked the weight, so I don't know if they're comparable.
