<DIV>Oh yes. I was hopeful that you'd found a non catalyzed white when you said single stage, but now I get it. With the hardeners and mix ratios I can not really mix up less than about 1 oz, which is a lot of waste when you are spot priming. I found a non-fuel proof gray primer, but that's far from ideal. </DIV>
