To me, Slick Sand does not live up it's name. Stay away from Slick Sand. And yes, you can wet sand polyester primer surfacers. Remember. RTFL Again RTFL DG
Sorry, you didn't follow the instructions or it was setting up as it came out of your gun. I had absolutely no problems with it and it filled the pinholes very nicely. Was great to block sand also. Recommended by Dupont paint rep. Used a DBU primer before I shot the Deltron base and Concept clear. I can post photos of the prep and finish on my 32 Ford. Several best of show and best paint trophies in the closet.
