I use Z-spar marine undercoat and brush it on. I think it adheres better than the BIN stuff over oil sealer.

Not to get off the primer question but I have givin up on thinning my Val that much. I can't get rid of the terp. smell, even after a couple of weeks. I use it straight with just a smidge of terp. now. I just let it soak a little longer. Sorry for the hijack. P.

No problem Professor.
Jigman...I thought that may be the case. I was hoping the "nasty fumes" were coming more from the can propellant.
I have never dipped a plug in primer, but thought that might work too. Quick and easy, but the access run off might be a problem.
Z-spar marine undercoat...never tried it. Something to check out.

Tried dipping in the Bin stuff, once. Had waaaay too much primer on after only a quick dip. Took a long time to dry and had to sand a bunch off before painting. It maybe something you could do if you thinned it out some. I've seem photos of CCBC dipping large batches of plugs at a time, so it is possible.

a must have when using oil/turps combo...heat rising from below your hanging plug's, as well as some air flow...plugs just sitting/hanging in cool/warm dead air will go no where as in getting dry and doing away with fumes.
ccb used laquer paints which are thinner then anything you could conger up even thinning the primer out..thinning out primer to much will destroy it's make up.
