Apologies if this has been answered already, but my search-fu is weak this morning.
Is it OK to prime the insides of the W-716 push tubes (and any other control tubes for that matter) with a cylindrical brush attached to a dowel? I stopped halfway through designing an odd system of tubing and lawn irrigation parts and realized there must be a better way. I'm using SEM self-etching primer, and I've noticed that if the stuff gets laid on too thick, it tends to flake and detach. The recommended methods for doing the push tubes involve spraying a bunch of paint in each end and rolling the tube around for coverage. Sounds to me like this would have a lot of excess paint in there, leading to the condition described above. I figure with a brush and a slightly thin solution, I can get coverage without making a mess or worrying about the paint flaking off.
Thanks in Advance,
-John
