Sprayed one full gallon of the Evercoat Feather Fill, G2 polyester primer/filler. This fills all the 80 grit sanding scratches, the pinholes, and most small voids, waves, and irregularities in the body filler underneath. Now most of this will get sanded back off, leaving a perfectly flat surface, I hope.
I had some paniky, near-disaster, moments when spraying this. The spray gun I used was a cheap LVLC gun and the packing nut for the needle loosened up on me in the middle of the 2nd quart. Well, these guns have a pressurized cup, and it was a full cup. So, when I tipped the gun to do the roof the G2 started squirting out the back of the gun past the needle packing. It made a huge mess, and left great big splatters everywhere on the roof, my coveralls, and the floor. Big cleanup mess!
The good thing is that this stuff hardens just like filler - it's catalyzed with the same type of hardener used in body filler. So the big drips hardened up just as well as the rest of it. Fortunately it sands well. I knocked the drips all off quite easily with 80 grit sandpaper.
It's also kind of a pain in the ass to have to clean the whole gun out after every load. The stuff reeks for hours too. No way you could work with this stuff without a good respirator. But the smell was mostly gone after it hardened.
