David, next time you are in the Austin area, get in touch with me and I'll educate you on primers. There is a massive difference in quality between a 3 dollar can of rattle primer and a $120.00 gallon of PPG K-38 and the $50.00 pint of hardner that mixes with it. Everyone has to justify for themselves what they do with their hobby dollars and what is acceptable to them in the performance of what they buy.

FWIW, I bought a gallong of K-38 about two years ago, and a quart of it, I simply gave away. Anyway, I just now two years later made my way to the bottom of the gallon. So a hundred bucks a year for the best primer (in my opinion) made, not a bad deal, at least for me.

Good Luck,

Sean
