I'm curious how many "rounds" most people go with pinholes in the process of getting their cowling finished.
I followed the Van's instructions and thinned epoxy and brushed it on, sanded, added SuperFil, sanded, rolled on three coats of Smooth Prime, sanded, filled some more with SuperFil and I'm about to sand again.
I don't have THAT many pinholes, as near as I can tell, which is difficult because Smooth Prime is white. I just sprayed on some cheap dark primer just to get a better look. And now I'll go over it with a magnifying glass after I sand that off, add more SuperFil, and a couple more coats of Smooth Prime.
Still, it feels like this is only a fraction of what I sense most people are doing.
What's your experience?
