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

Hi,
I used EC Pattern Coat Primer and HI-Gloss to make this plug.
After lots of coats I gave up and finished it with the HI-gloss then sanding and polishing to make moulds with EC Uni-Mould range of products.

I gave up probably because the part made of plaster and filler was too rough and I sanded trough the primer each time. So it took a long time to have a decent plug.
At first I wanted a nice uniform black plug but...
Finally plugs were fine and moulds were easy to build.

Hope this helps
