73AbodEE - I am sorry if I came off rude. That was not my intention. I appreciate the help I did not realize you treated each primer in the same way. Please do not take my comment as rude.
its all good. i have been there. i hate sanding as much as the next guy, and changing the mix and adding reducer really helped me with the 'gator skin. sometimes excessive air pressure will try to dry the primer on its way out of the gun. thick epoxy wont atomize correctly. im by no means any kind of pro, just giving you suggestions based on my experiences. I would mix up a little batch with reducer and find a test piece and play with your air pressure a little bit, and i would suggest you have a good filter to keep compressor oil and condensation out of your air line, if you dont already. good luck with it, you will find that "sweet spot" :D
