its really a bit of a risk using any polyester based fillers over epoxy. The amine that is sometimes present inhibits the curing of polys and it can come back to haunt you. I would try to avoid it.

I usually use PPG's DP epoxy primers as well as their K-36. I'm sure Dupont has something, similar the reps will know.
