Default RE: Epoxy beading!

Tom, I'm using "formula five" wax.
I find that if I spray two part primer into the mold before laying up I have no problems with the primer fisheyeing etc but if I go straight epoxy over the Formula 5 it beads and streaks.

I know that the Formula 5 wax is silicone based which is not ideal but I just wonder if anyone has found a cure for this problem besides using a different wax.


Normally I'll use Mother liquid Carnub wax but it's at my cottage because I use it to wax the boat too.
