This was the only product I found readily available for refinishing our aluminum dinghy bottom. Initially primed with Total Protect Primer. Worked beautifully and so far, very robust. I'll use both next time too.

I ordered 3 kits of Interlux VC Epoxy from Jamestown Distributors. Before the product ever left their property, I emailed them that my project had fallen through. No reply. Before epoxy was delivered, I called. I was informed it was non returnable. Period. I have used the Interlux before. Good product. I have used Jamestown Distributors before also. Horrible customer service!

Hard like gel coat. Not high gloss, but pleasantly smooth and oddly slick. Seems durable. Don't even pretend to roll and tip this stuff, however. It will NOT lay flat on its own, even at higher temps and well-thinned with brushing solvent. I laid on 1/2 a gallon with a roller and brush then had to sand it nearly all off because of the brush marks. Since the paint is exceptionally hard this was a miserable chore. After that painful experience, I sanded with 80 grit, then 120 grit with a Dual Action sander (3M Corp). Then, I got a good HVLP sprayer and diluted the paint 20% with Interlux 2333N brushing solvent. The paint does not readily sag or drip so I laid on four relatively thick coats. This worked great. Once the paint dried and cured, it looked outstanding. There were still faint swirl marks after 3 coats, so a more thorough sanding with the 120 grit or a 220 grit final hand wet-sand might be called for. I'll be interested to see how it performs one the boat is in the water. For now, though, I'm quite pleased with this finish!

Great service by technical advisors at Jamestown Distributors. Made all the difference in the world.

I was told this product could be rolled on for a smooth surface from J.D. I did not perform as directed by the ""experts"" at Jamestown Distributors. This paint is made to be sprayed if your looking for a smooth finish. Jamestown would not exchange or give me credit for my purchase. All my money down the drain because of their bad advice and recommendations...

Really too thin for rolling or bushing was really messy to apply by brush or roller. The next time I use the product I will spray it on. I liked the finish when applied to the bottom of our boat

For those of you complaining about the difficulty you can have rolling/tipping or just brushing this product...yes it is difficult. But READ the data sheet and it is very clear this coating was designed for spray application. Dont assume all paints or coatings are applied in the same manner.

I'm sure this is a great product, but was very disappointed with my results with rolling-on and tipping with a brush. Left huge grooves and was very difficult to apply an even layer. I'm done this process many times with other paints and never had this issue. Ended up having to sand away practically everything that I put on in order to get the finish smooth.

Use more 2316n thinner. Paint has a hard time flowing out.

Tough coating put over Interprotec 2000e for trailered sailboat. Also adds additional protection against osmosis in fiberglass boats.
