Despite all my efforts I have not been able to get a pinhole free surface. The materials are great, and the closest I have come, but to date I have been unable to figure it out. 

That being said, for the time being, I will fill, sand and clear coat the surface. I have done this in the past and had some delamination of the 2 part auto UV clear coat. Is there any special surface prep required?  Do I need to sand to a certain grit, not too fine, not too coarse?  Is there a chemical prep of the surface to aid bonding?

Thanks
Chris

This will happen if the 2k is too thick. The solvents don't have enough space to escape.
