I'm curious to hear what experiences others have had with high fill primers.
I picked up a rattle can of some by rustoleum and have been using it to finish a kit recently. I can't really tell any difference between this stuff and their regular primer, but ran into trouble when I removed the masking tape over a plastic nose cone... and the primer underneath peeled off too!:surprised:
Honestly, I think it was my fault... I used balsa filler to smooth out the nose cone, and I don't think adhesion between the plastic and filler was very good, although I did sand the plastic thoroughly with 220 grit sandpaper beforehand. Anyway, I got to wondering if the high-fill primer might be more susceptible to peeling in this fashion.
Anyone try stuff like this?
