When sanding primer before painting I have seen it mentioned that the
primer should be given a "a light abrade" with wet and dry. Is this with
the paper wet ? or dry ?

Usually wet. Main difference between doing it wet or dry, is that wet the
paper doesn't clog up as quickly.

Secondly what is "the orange peel effect" and how does one get rid of it

Orange peel effect is normally caused by contaminents (typically silcon
from
wax products) on the surface being painted. It causes the paint to form an
non-uniform covering, similar to the appearance of an orange skin, with
dips/holes where the paint hasn't taken (it's a simialr effect to water
balling on a freshly waxed panel)


Thank you for your helpful reply- how does one get rid of this orange peel
effect if it appears ?


I think you may have to rub it down again and start over ... although others
with more knowledge should be along to verify this.
