I use rattle can primer.
I am starting to use all Krylon
I used to use whatever was cheap but the primer did'nt cover well and neither did the finish.
Don't use krylon over other stuff or you might have issues.

That painters touch stuff is a good bet and it's easy. CPES is a great product but I think it may cause cancer or something if overused. Stinky as hell... worse than wood hardener.

Gotcha, with my heat! too funny!!

You gotta be careful with these penetrating epoxies though, they penetrate your skin too and can f--- up your liver after repeated exposures. I'm sure you're wearing gloves Ed, just a heads up to the other CPES users and potential CPES converts.
