PPG K-36 primer substitute
Want to glass a few things. The only process I've used was to brush K36 over the "glassed wood" then sand it smooth & paint it, but apparently K36 has been discontinued.. Anyone have something else that brushes or sprays on, then sands easily?

I just glassed the wing of a pattern model using Advantage brand. Here you go: http://www.advantagerefinishproducts...-surfacers.htm
I could not tell the difference between K-36 and this, except 1/3 the price. I did glass the surface first with reduced epoxy resin, then covered the weave with primer and wet sanded. Came out light and very solid.

Locally. It is the "prefered" brand name of a local body shop called English Color. If you cannot get Advantage, there are other similar products available only. Google Automotive Urethane Primer......you will be amazed at what's out there. I personally would not spend another dime on PPG high end products again. They are fine for my $90K Mercedes, but for modeling I don't see the benefit anymore.
Note, I don't own a $90K Mercedes.
