Hey, Im having some problems with my wetsanding. The primer keeps getting all stuck in the paper, and starts getting all flakey and peely. Is there sumthing I've forgotten to do? Help please! I need to get this done today. Thanx

Ive never had that problem but a few things it could be is your using the wrong kind of primer or your primer isnt fully dry. The primer i use shows a car on the front of the can and says wetsandable. Your primer may not be wetsandable. Also, make sure your primer is totally dry. shouldnt be hard since its summer.

dream it, build it, fiberglass it

consider some adhesion promoter. It sounds like the primer is adhering. If it's aerasol primer i don't know if it's brand specific, but if it's automotive paint I'm sure the same company that makes the primer also makes an adhesion promoter.
