: I'm assuming you're applying the primer over epoxy.
: First you need to call the epoxy maker to see if the primer is compatable

: the epoxy you used. I had the same problem with varnish until I talked with
: my epoxy maker and they said not all finishes will react and cure
: properly with specific epoxies.
: Epoxy takes weeks to fully cure. If you coat before then you can have an
: uncured
: finish unless you use a compatable finish. This is your problem.
: You can probably easily remove that uncured primer with alcohol and steel
: wood.

I suspect you are right Rob. I use to have a book telling how to make different specialty finishes. To make an alligator finish, if I remember right, two paints or varnishes were put on with different drying rates and one finish would slip on the other finish making the outer surface crack.
