the priming process went much better this time. i was not very happy with the primer last time, but this time i got it on pretty good. i was hoping that it was my technique and not the primer that was the problem last time, and it probably was. this time i had no problems, except for one big drop of sweat that landed in the middle of the spar. i was able to soak it up and recoat it and it came out ok.
