I'm about to prime the bottom of my ES fuselage with the WLS primer prior
to final jigging and would like to hear from others how they did it. I plan
to use a fine nap roller as recommended by the factory.  I'm interested in:

1. Is filling with micro necessary before priming?  The whole surface?
Just low spots?  What's the best way to identify low spots?

2. How much sanding and what grit sand paper should be used before priming?

3. How should the primer be applied?  I've heard it should be rolled in
"three coats in three different directions" in a single application.  I've
also heard to roll one coat, allow to become tacky, roll a second coat,
allow to dry and sand, roll a third coat.

5. Once the three coats have been applied, what is the sanding sequence?

Thanks for your help.  (In case it isn't obvious, I'm a complete rookie at
this.)
