I've had that happen to me before and it was just cause I did too much at once. Small light layers. Not that it's what happened here, just saying what I've experienced.

I did a light layer, then a heavier layer. It adhered exactly as it should have to the fiberglass and bondo. But on the plastic areas it cracked like a mofo. I think its a mixture of too much and it doesnt stick to plastic.

sanded half of it off alrdy...

i think my hands are smoother than any womans i've ever touched. All this wet sanding is a fantastic way to exfoliate your skin.

get plastic paint first, then use primer filler. same exact shit happened to me after I would sand everything down smooth. doesn't like plastic surfaces

idk the piece was already painted from before. I didnt sand it all the way to the plastic. I'll stick with the same primer I used the first time, painters touch ultra cover primer for plastics. It worked good but didnt fill any pin holes so I wanted to experiement with filler primer.

I'll try poly primer next thats what professional paint places use.

I agree, I think you need regular primer or they make a product that strips the stuff off the plastic, oils etc. I can't think of the name sorry.

You can use acetone very lightly or a tack cloth

Ok.

[HunterJohnson]

Ok.

Just put a coat of the normal primer...gotta sand the whole thing back down alot more.

Time to go to sleep and call it a long bad day
