<p>I would really love to use the Stewart system, but I too would have to use my garage. As a matter of fact, I'm at a point where I *could* start. Days with reasonable humidity are hard to come by in East/Central North Carolina. I may still give it a try. Thanks for your reply.</p>

<p>I included a pic of my project. always loooking for an opportunity to show somebody. :-)…</p>

I've had no problem with the primer. I sprayed it in my garage. Humidity was 60 temp 70. Now waiting for a warm day to paint. Buy the book. Follow the instructions.

<p>I can now report on the EkoPoly topcoat. I am doing cabin frame and other interior pieces, adding some of their flattener to make it more of a satin finish (half the amount they suggest for a matte finish.) There is only one problem I've seen so far. It takes about 24 hours to fully dry, and isn't really cured for another week or two. At typical homebuilder pace it should not be a problem, but plan on letting it sit for a while before any rough handling.</p>

<p>I have been using the Stewart epoxy primer and it's working fine, but I haven't used it in hot/humid conditions although it didn't seem to mind cool/humid. Maybe try it in the early morning before it gets too hot. It's worth the bother, not having to deal with solvents as much.</p>

<p>Your understanding is correct. High temperature and humidity are big problems with Stewart Systems. I watched a local builder, with previous experience in painting aircraft, struggle with Stewart here in north central Florida. He finally completed the project but indicated he'd never use it again.</p>
