Fred,
I used Smooth Prime only on those surface that had a problem with pin holes,
which was mostly the wet-layup flying surfaces.
Everywhere that I used it there is now a problem (starting to manifest at
about 5 years age, now at 11 years) with microblistering. Others experienced
worse.
In other areas I used an epoxy solvent-based primer filler.
Maybe the formulation has changed since then, but pretty much every time I
try any water-based two-pack product the experience ends in tears. BMW had
severe problems too in the early days of water-based auto paints.

To those of you who have used Smooth Prime on their Europa XS...
Have you used it JUST on the filled/foam control surfaces?...or on the
ENTIRE airframe?
In either case, how much material is necessary for the required THREE
(undiluted) COATS before sanding?
Thanks in advance,
Fred
