Damn putty seems to have expanded.

Mr. Bubblehead:
Water-based fillers can absorb moisture and expand due to a rise in humidity or when something is applied over them.  The best solution has already been mentioned, use an epoxy-type filler such as Bondo or fiberglass.

So on the weekend I sanded everything flat again and tonight went to prime the surface and whatya' know, I got raised bit's of putty again.  ::)

There was about 10 spots that I re-sanded and I have now applied another two coats of sealer so I suppose now it's a waiting game....

I am as close to smashing this thing as ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- is to swearing.

You may have trapped some moisture underneath there??  if it keeps raising up now it will probably do it again after the paint is applied.  If it were me, I would take the time to scrape out the putty and use an epoxy filler.

I must admit I'm considering doing this.  Don't really want to but on the other hand I don't want the filler to raise/move after I have applied the side art.
