Well we are about to learn what to do when I get a major disappointment.
I primed the stock yesterday, it was dry enough to sand today. After sanding I washed the stock with a mixture of Denatured alcohol and water to clean it up. I waited a hour after it was dry then gave it a light coat of black. Pimples appeared immediately on the first area I painted so I gave the whole stock a coat. There ia another small area that pimpled. Now I let dry and then WHAT.
S#it happens I guess.

Make sure everything your using is free of oils/wax. If your using a bucket for water to wet sand, make sure it’s also clean. 150 is much too coarse. Should be sanding primer with 600 or 800. Paint isn’t a filler and if your applying paint to the point of filling 150 grit scratches, your laying down too much paint. If you still have primer left, let what you have dry overnight and then wet sand 400 then 600 - apply primer. Then start again.
I got a spare room!
@Link , if I'm not mistaken I said epoxies are slower to dry than urethane.
You have to slow down!!!
Wet sand stock with 400-500 grit, get it cleaned up and reprime.
THEN LEAVE IT ALONE FOR A COUPLE DAYS!
And start over.
Now you know why the word PAIN is in paint.
Don’t threaten me with a good time, Brett!! I’ll move my ass to Oregon just to get away from the ex.
Link - the thing to realize about paint is that all that stuff is really just a type of plastic combined with solvents. Simplistically speaking. It drys to the touch and it may even sand out for you but it’s important to give it TIME for the solvents in the paint to evaporate off. It’s painful if your short on patients! There is a saying - “slow down so you can finish on time.”
Long story!
It's nice when the kids grow up and move out... you get that extra room to convert into a dedicate hobby room for welding, painting, or some such thing. I might have to get one of those just to get the wife from spray painting the frontlawn when she does her crafting. I nearly Filed when I came home one day to find my front trees victims to her rattle can efforts.... Apparently, going to side yard or behind fence by trash cans didn't even come to mind... just lean the project against my favorite trees and spay with bright blue pint.
Gabe - which glaze did you use?
