Bill,

I was knocking the rough surface off the stab when I noticed what appears to be cracking in the primer. I'm assuming it's caused by the last remnants of the &^%$*! enamel finally drying/curing completely.

The question is: Can I continue on as normal or do I need to sand back to bare wood and start over?

Thank you for the clarification on the guide coat paint. Since all I'm now looking for is fast-drying/ready-to-sand-in-minutes-not-days paint, I should be able to find something. I'll check some of the auto parts and hardware stores.

Cheers,
Richard
