Does it make sense to give these areas a light coating of epoxy prior to applying any finishing materials? Or, after sanding the epoxy/micro areas, should I go directly to primer? My primary concern is for edges such as the wing/stub wing joint as well as flap and aileron edges because the epoxy/micro does not seem to have much strength and edges tend to chip easily.
