I'm using a 2-part epoxy primer that is building, so I was hoping that it would smooth out the rough edges. That was wishful thinking as it seems to really highlight my prep and sanding flaws. Even filling pin holes requires some mechanical brushing or similar. Overall, not a total fail as the job came out very well except for some of my patches. Certainly, better than a newbie deserves.
I'm redoing a few patches that look bad. I've found a few youtube videos for auto body painting that have some interesting tips and tricks to create nice smooth contours, but I didn't find much for boats. Any resources?
In particular, it would be nice to wet down the surface (or similar) to highlight the flaws before I get to the epoxy primer stage. Maybe I just need to brush on primer and sand between coats until I get something that I'm happy with. Comments are welcome.
