I know Bones was having trouble with this when he was painting his cab... I am running into the same problem.. My cab has been in the sanding smooth stage for over two weeks now and each time I get it smooth the next day they have risen again. I know that humidity is not the issue because I live in the god forsaken desert of Phx AZ where it has been dry and a 110 for the last 2 weeks. I guess what I am asking is will it ever stop trying to work it's way out of the counter sinks? I would hate to paint, so that two weeks later they begin to show their ugly pimple heads again.. I'm half tempted to drill it all out and use an epoxy bondo. Too bad I didn't learn about this until after the fact. |

This happened to me on something like 6 coats (both undercoat/primer and final overcoat). I still have no idea the exact reasons but it was damn frustrating. I just kept sanding it back and repainting it until it stopped. Sorry... not much help here. |

Maybe living in too -dry- a climate is the problem. I live where it is very humid and I never had this problem. I would say either "F it, it doesn't matter" and leave the slight bump or dig out the putty and bondo it. Waiting for it to swell up and worrying about it is too much mental anguish. |

MM, Did you decide against the laminate? If so, I think Bud's suggestion about the bondo sounds like a good alternative. Steve |

Perhaps too late now, but I stopped using putty and started using Bondo as it was far easier to work with both in it's wet state and awesome once it set up. Plus you mix it, smear it, and can be sanding it within a half hour. I have not had any issues with it rising like I did with the wood putty. |
