    Primed inside and out. Living in California as you and I do, you will likely want to visit the coastline. Sprayed the outside and pored it into the inside with tennis balls to hold it in. I mixed up too much primer. One cup of mixed primer will do the job on one spar with plenty of left over. I mixed up about a half of a quart of primer then catalyst and reducer. Makes too much. Wasted plenty.

    Are you using Endura’s fabric coating system?

    Primed inside and out with poly fiber white epoxy primer. Rigged an airbrush on the end of a piece of pvc to spray inside spar with a tennis ball on the end.
