Thanks, I'm using urethane color and clear.

James,
You're using quality finishing paints, a good thing. Keep in mind, Polyspan tears so easy. Why not bridge over to cloth and use silk? You can't tear silk.
Also, if you really want to kick it up a notch, you can apply silk dry with CA as I have on many models. Fast, quick and easy once you get the hang of it. Many say Polyspan and silk span fills with less coats, but I find silk fills with less coats and just about "0" pinholes. The mix depends on the number of coats needed to fill weave. We only have control of our own mix.
I'm just about ready to silk my TEXACO 13. I'm currently prepping the wood. I'll use Deft Wood Lacquer to prepare the wood, couple of coats, then I'll use CA to apply the silk dry and board tight. This technique needs to be explained, however, I've mentioned this in many of my Builds.
I will use clear dope over all open bays, but I'll use Deft on all wood surfaces. I speed dry these coats with a heat gun.
I've also used Minwax because it has less of an odor, but only for layered coats.
A high build primer after this, but most of the primer gets sanded away.
I can't tell you what to do, but this is the process I've used on many models. Photos, texts and Builds are here and there.
Good luck.
