Thanks Larry for keeping  us up to date on this and other info on our P-51.  
Saw Gary's plane and saw the  UV Smooth prime.  Looked real good and minimal 
sanding.  You did not use the Pre- prime  Sealer first?  I've got several parts

out of carbon fiber like the wing fairings where the lay up is thin and rough 
with fiber  showing.  Boy, the Bubba instruction manual is critical.  Ken

Ken G;   
     On any parts that are rough, with fiber showing, I used either Super Fil 
(another PolyFiber product) or micro to smooth out the surface. Superfil is 
easier to use, but lots more spendy. 
       A trick that I used to fill in open grain is to mix micro VERY dry. So 
dry that its hard to spread, and doesn't adhere well.  Then thin it to the 
consistency of yogurt with acetone. (easy does it) Spread it on with a paint 
brush, and smooth it quickly.  The acetone evaporates quickly leaving a smooth,

thin coat of dry micro to cure.  It's easy to sand and has fewer pinholes.  I 
don't know if Jim would approve, but it has worked well for me.( I the idea 
from a guy at Composites Unlimited)
      On relatively smooth surfaces, like wing skins, gear doors, etc, just 
go straight to the UV Smooth Prime.    LRE
