feather fill primer over the winter

is it ok to store my car over the winter in a garage with epoxy then feather fill or should I just wait and leave it in epoxy?
 
I would wait on the feather fill, just a whole lot of less things can happen, from contamination, cracking and hard sanding.
 
that's what I kinda thought but its good to hear it from you!
 
Regarding the original "POST" from Jamon8 - - - I am a step or two further than Jamon8 - - -
I have applied the FeatherFill G2 to several panels.

The substrate is bare SMC Fiberglass (1978-Vette)
FIRST: 2-Coats SPI Black EPOXY -->
SECOND : 2-3 Coats - FeatherFill G2 -->
THIRD : (Hood Only also has the SPI Epoxy - FF-G2 Plus +++ SPI Regular K2 )

Here is my question and concern:
Are there any negative problems with the FF-G2 &/or the Regular SPI-K2 SITTING for 6 to 10 months?
Both The FF-G2 and SPI-K2 panels have been block-sanded.
The storage will be - - - Inside - Dry - 20 to 65-degrees (F)

Just clean and re-scuff or sand it before applying any other products when you start back up. And keep it as clean as you can while in storage, surfacers can soak up contaminants.
 
I won't store something that is already sanded, period. If you have to store something, leave it unsanded. If the environment is moist, oily, or excessively dirty, It's actually best to paint it, or spray two coats of epoxy on the part.
 
one more question. what if I put the feather fill on and then put one coat of epoxy (maybe 2) over the feather fill and use it like a guide coat for blocking. I plan on getting heat in my garage soon and working on it during the winter.
 
You can't put anything on poly primer without sanding. More than that, it is wasteful to put more material on top of poly primer without a very thorough blocking session. Normally I suggest stripping, blocking, and priming 2 or 3 panels at a time, to avoid situations where the car might have to be left alone for a while. We even do this sometimes in our body shop, because it is common to switch from one job to another. It's rare for one vehicle to command our attention for days on end.
