Brief Description:  Blocking the Primer round 1

I went into the shop yesterday convinced that after spraying the first round of primer I would expose a lot of low spots and that serious fill work would need to happen. Well after block sanding tonight I was pleasantly surprised to see that the primer had filled almost all of the really low spots extremely well. in fact it was thick enough in build to fill in all of the orange peel on the skim coats. Being full of energy after only an hour of block sanding I thought I'd take my perfectionism as far as my energy would last me and I went over every single low spot and pinhole I could find and probably didn't even need to fill. By the time the wing was flipped over and blocked on top my energy had run out and now the wing will sit here until morning when I we go over the rest of the wing again with filler.
I am all smiles right now because the other wing took me about 10 primer stages to finish and this wing will definitely be done in 3 :) That's what you get for spending the extra time contouring the filler and not rushing to prime.
In the ideal world, I would shoot and sand the primer only once and be done...however I'm not that good and I haven't met anyone else that is :)
