All good things take time, this will never change, especially when you are doing it yourself and want quality. You all deserve a pat on the back.

there were a hundred small issues to deal with that really showed up when we started sanding the epoxy primer...  small waves, dimples and previous repairs that needed rework.  Here's a visual summary of life inside the "dust booth"

Hopefully there is enough paint left for Pixie to do her nails with.  They can air dry on the way too. :thumbsup:
