to eliminate so much priming and blocking take glaze and wipe those areas into the featheredge.then sand without exposing different sanded through edges from feather sanding.otherwise you'll be seeing a bullseye after paint dries and shrinks over time.

Mixing in an up and down motion does not introduce less air than stirring. Just ask a physicist. You have a stir stick moving through material; the motion doesn't matter. How fast you mix it is more of a factor than the motion. it's like whipping eggs with a fork vs. a blender.
