I've been building my first plug for the air conditioning housing on my Marcos Mantula. While I'm quite happy with the way it has turned out in general I am finding the application of the pattern coat primer to be more difficult than shown in the Easy Composites video. I've tried using a brush and a roller, but can't seem to get to the stage where it only needs minor sanding. There always seems to be new imperfections with each coat.

Maybe the working time is too short. I try to mix accurately using digital scales, but never seem to get a consistency that allows the brush or roller marks to flow out. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

I had the same problem with my last batch of EC Pattern Coat primer ... I thought it might be the temperature in my workshop being a bit low .. So I heated the Primer coat a bit, to maybe 25 degrees . That helped a bit, but I still had quite a bit of sanding to do..

The gloss pattern coat was a bit better, but still had brush marks and uneven surface i some areas .. They are good products, but not "perfect" Cool
