wow a lotta history. i started from watching my dad,in the 1950,s.after chasing girls and marriage i started.my passion soon became a job..from buyouts,travelling fom canada to bagley bait co. we did re-paints and building baits for the toothy critters up here on l.st clair..life now is slower near 70 still building and passing things on to my son and the younger folks.remember every failure becomes a learning curve to succsess.this site is an awesome curve for the future and present builders.

whats the density of this foam in the picture? -
use acetone or lacquer thinner to strip.and as I stated before betcha the company only used a lacquer primer no sealer to go into the wood pore,so primer could adhere to the sealer..i have seen the issue hundreds of times.

try looking at your paints are not dry enuff or not compatable..that will allow peel. no adherence.
