After spraying the Top Gloss and wet sanding and compounding, the weave would come out. At that time I figured out what the problem was....WATER. Even though the primer is dry to the touch, it still had moisture in it. I was also priming my parts as I go, so that wasn't the solution. The solution was to put a 50 pint dehumidifier in the shop and run it for about two days after I prime and two days before I spray the Top Gloss on. So far I'm getting great results and a beautiful paint job. My wings and the bottom of the fuselage are finished and have been for months. I've had a first hand look at watching the weave show up days after you spray the top gloss on. It doesn't happen to me any more. I hope this helps.
