    Primer NOT adhering to gluvit after sanding/wire wheel

    OK..I resanded AND wire wheeled the areas that spidercracked. I wire wheeled almost down to the bare aluminum, pretty much removing most of the Gluvit I applied....and still after 30-40 mins..it seperated. The aluminum primer is Latex based. is this the issue? Will oil based paint adhere better?
