Priming issues

[vintagerpm]

I'm posting this here because I'm working on a 1/43 kit, but the question applies to any resin kit.

I'm trying to prime a Marsh Chaparral and I keep getting fisheyes on the front bodywork - like there is oil there. It has been soaked in Bleche White, soaked in 91% rubbing alcohal, and washed with Ivory dish soap (not necessarily in that order). I am now stripping it with ELO for the second time. What do I need to do to get rid of the fisheyes?

(This happened once before, but I don't remember how I solved the problem nor can I find the thread about it here.)

Hello,

I went thru that years ago. The resin is not properly cured. If I recall correctly, I sealed with filler before attempting primer again. Depending on the size and location, you can seal with superglue and sand it down to shape.

Thanks,

I had it too. The ultra thin blue cap from BSI, I just poured it over it. Worked like a charm. Just don't touch it!!!!

Super glue seems to have done the trick.
Thanks, guys.
