wil-bond is a clear etching/bonding liquid...clean's everything and anything before you paint. if you want to clean metal/wood/plastic/ old paint/etc.etc. before you prime or paint/repaint your item....degreases..deoils...and also has bonding agents in it to help the paint bond better.

If I prime before the sealer is dry like you did, I can use this to wipe the primer off...or if I mess up a paint job on a plug, I can wipe off the paint wet or dry paint without sanding again...I get it from my local lumber yard or town paint and supply.

I also used it to take off the old bottom paint on the boat..no sanding.

I beleive painter's touch is rust-o-leum's low end paint . even the reg. primer doesn't sit well with me...doesn't soak in the wood like house primer's do.....I find the plain flat white rusto works better as a primer.1st. coat get's sanded off for the most part,it's just used as a pore filler...the second coat evens the surface off.....the third lite coat make's it frog a$$ smooth.

I use nothing but reg. rustoleum paints..flat if I can get it in the right color otherwise gloss if forced to because of color choices.

try turpintine in your 60/40 mix instead of mineral spirits.
turp's is a natural thinner made from tree sap...good stuff.
mineral spirits is man made junk..gooy ca- ca, when it dries up in the bottom of a can, it leave's this yellow muck that look like uncooked pancake mix.

BOAT fish do count.
