REFLECTOR: Smooth Prime

[Richard Riley]

I've helped remove the Imron from a friends plane that used smooth 
prime and NOT superfil.  It peeled off in sheets, there was NO 
adhesion between the imron and the prime.

At the very least, in your position, I would switch to a primer 
that's made to go with the paint you're ultimately going to use.
