after two years and certainly doesnt have any issues with degradation or
contamination.
Unfortunately my fuselage was painted with a different primer and sealer
before I learned about this epoxy primer. So will see how it goes. So if
anyone out there wants to fly the airplane on primer and then paint there is
an good option. It is truly amazing stuff. But beware, not easy to spray but
once
you get the hang of it lays down like silk.

I attached previously. The paint is showing the orange peel that bothers me but
you can see that the reflection is not distorted. The two years of curing did
its job showing the shrinkage during blocking but it was easily blocked out
by the primer layer. Very happy. I dont expect the wing to be as smooth because
of its molded nature.

top coat wont be too light. The final W&B will tell that side of the story.
