: Rob, I just put on the second fill coat within 24hrs with MAS slow cure, the
: previous fill coat was tack free. I am fairly sure if I put on another
: coat it would have fisheyes as there are areas within this second coat
: that show evidence of pulling away, a few 2mm diameter spots. Are you able
: to get fill coats down without washing/sanding? thanks.

I have not had problems with fish eyes in the fill coat using MAS. I try to do the fill coat within 24 hours of the glass coat, but I don't know if that makes a difference. If you are getting fisheyes it may just be dust falling on the surface.
