When in doubt... build hell-for-stout!
This is a recap of my experiences using Rustoleum Primers on my P-40 Warhawk Oddroc. The subject of these primers comes up here on TRF quite often, I thought it worth documenting this for future reference, and thought others might benefit from the synopsis.

Rustoleum 2X Primer
I sprayed a paper and wood constructed motor mount / spool with Rustoleum 2X Primer and 4 days later it is still kind of tacky and gooey? Its finish is smooth, more like a paint than a primer. It's an ok product, but IMO the following products are much better.
Rustoleum 2 in 1 Filler & Sandable
At that same time that I sprayed the above spool, I also sprayed a paper and wood constructed rocket with Rustoleum Filler Sandable. This is a high fill primer that dries with a rough texture, as it is meant to be sanded. I sanded that rocket 3 days later and applied the finish primer coat of Rustoleum Primer Sealer.
Rustoleum Primer Sealer
This product is not the same as the 2 in 1 Filler & Sandable.
The Primer Sealer should be used as the last primer coat.
- It doesn't fill or sand as well as the 2 in 1 Filler & Sandable.
- It dries smooth, unlike the 2 in 1 Filler Sandable which dries with a rougher texture, as it is meant to be sanded.
