Re: smooth prime

>>> Are you sure that the Smooth Prime isn't the root of the problem?
e.g. the 
high talc content would easily adsorb surface contamination, which may 
 only be removable by further sanding immediately prior to next (final) 
coat.

Not unless the entire primer surface over six separate top coating
sessions was contaminated. Feedback indicates that it's a Top Gloss
problem and not a Smooth Prime problem. I've just done an ad hoc test
with a Spies Hecker polyurethane test pot and it has stuck very well to
a Smooth Primed surface that a couple of days before wouldn't hold the
Top Gloss.
