Halfords grey body primer works for me 99% of the time. I've only had two or three cases where it didn't adhere over the six years I've been selling commercially (all the unpainted items get sent out with a coat of primer on them and the ones that didn't adhere I kept).

cheers

I didn't realise that.
Do you put it in big print on your website? If not it might be worth pointing out - saves time and money.

I find it a hassle washing resins to get rid of mould release agent before undercoat.
It generally takes most of a weekend to do a batch - washing, waiting for it to dry fully, spraying, waiting for that to dry and the smell to go.
