Hi I am new to this and could do with some advice.

I am just finishing my MDF plug,  I have coated multiple times in pattern coat primer and sanded to P600 all over and really happy with the shape.  The problem I have and keep having is that I break through to expose  the MDF or filler in really small areas.

I am going to spray on the Pattern Coat Hi Gloss Finish so would this be ok to cover these small areas before making my mould or should I start again with the primer?

I have read other topics about this and i do know that you cannot seal an entire MDF plug with the high gloss but I wandered if I would get away with small area.  I was going to Spray the High Gloss then finish with P1200- 1500 then polish.

Thanks in advance

I should have used Pigment.  I will do next time.

Ill give it a go and see how it finished over the MDF.

 Thanks Warren
