That's all basically true, but epoxy won't bond well to a glossy surface and I once looked at a peel-plied surface under magnification. It's all glossy on the "mountain" sides. So I browsed through r

You added crosslinker to the stuff, and should thus find that the primer is impervious to anything but paint stripper. Any cleaner that appears to soak into it will evaporate out. I think the safest

If that's Expancel supplied by Europa, I suppose it will, but we're just wiping it, and it isn't going to go through the primer. Ironically, another mfr of water-based epoxy primer says isopropyl alc

Along the same lines, I merely substituted aluminum pipe for the horizontal run inside the cabin. This was necessary due to my pushing the Mk 1 era bulkhead aft ala XS, so the hose was then too short
