so easy and so effective!

I used this to prime a fiberglass/epoxy finished kayak hull before using bright red topside paint. One coat of primer smoothed the surface and provided a great base for the paint. Bright finish with only 3 coats thanks to the primer.

The best primer I have ever used!

5 years ago

Epifanes primer is the best I have ever used! It goes on smooth and it's a little bit heavier than other primers. Takes a little longer to cure but it's worth the wait. Sans real smooth and will make your top coat look great. It's not advertised in the Jamestown catalog but you have to ask for it.

Would buy again

rolls on great, sands very well . . . a little more buildup would be nice, but I think it is a very good primer. Used it on the topsides of a new wooden sailboat.

So far, so good.

Not the easiest primer to sand but by far not the hardest. Left a nice finish with 220 grit and filled the grain on my 40' wooden mast nicely. Applied 2 coats and sanded with a palm sander and paper over a sanding sponge for the corners. Haven't painted the mast yet so not aware if it will stick or not. Will update later. So far I'm a happy camper,eh.....boater.

How long do you have to paint your boat?

Primed my wooden 17' Custom Fishing Boat. Probably would be a good primer if I had all summer to wait for it to dry.

Follow the instructions

12 years ago

I have just finished painting the interior of a small craft, having done the exterior hull last year. Multi marine primer works great but you MUST follow the directions - even call Epifanes if you wish. They will give detailed instructions on how to prepare the surfaces prior to painting. I have had no trouble and so far it has provided an excellent one part primer for the top coats of yacht enamel. First coat was diluted with Epifanes thinner (10:1) I have put 3 coats on prior to topcoats, sanding between each. I applied using chinese bristle brush. Good product, great customer service.

One tough primer

14 years ago

Dilute 5 to 10% with same brand of thinner. Spray using good technique and put down multiple thin coats. Let it cure before sanding between coats. It will give you a tough, superior base for the Monourethane paint. It is not forgiving, so keep a cool head and make any ""repairs"" when you sand. The tech help was very instructive. I used it on a rowing shell I was building.

Great primer with good ahesion

14 years ago

I have used this on my side guard rails as I was tired of trying to keep varnish on them. I striped off the old varnish ,put on two coats of Epifanes multipurpose primer, and covered that with one component Epifanes enamel. That was 3 years ago and it still looks as good as the day I put it on. There are no short cuts and one must watch the temp, wind and humidity

Questions

1 - 3 of 3 Questions

Q: Is there an additive that would speed up the drying time and not effect the quality of the primer?

5 years ago

1 Answer

A: I find Epifanes Multi Marine Primer an excellent product, easy to apply as is, and topcoats adhere very well, as long as you follow the label instructions for surface preparation and application.? I have not tried any additives, but the Epifanes product sheet says you can use Epifanes Thinner with the Primer.

Q: I'm in Portsmouth, NH It's 78 to 89 daily. How much thinner should I use. Paint my wood Tayana 37 Mast. What thinners can I use?

9 years ago

2 Answers

A: Call Epifanes for a data sheet, they will email it to you. This is a new product and it is not included in their online manual. The data sheet will give you the thinning ratios and temp range. I am on my boat now so don't have the sheet with me, though I think 80deg and 85% is the upper limit. It is a great product, you will like it.

Q: what coverage rate does the epifanes multimarine primer give on fiberglass?

13 years ago

3 Answers

A: The side of the can says quote8-10 meter squared per liter. Also says 80-100 sq ft per liter. The small can holds 750 ml and should be thinned by 10%. Stir it well; I stir for three minutes then pour and use. I use mine in an HVLP sprayer and thin to spec with Epifanes spray thinner. If you roll it on, roll it thin. I suggest so thin that bubbles form off of a 3quote foam roller cover. I quickly tip with a foam brush to break the bubbles. Then, let it alone. Also, keep within Epifanes weather limits. Between 50F and 85F with humidity less than 85%. I found this to be important when using Epifanes products. Jamestown Distributors or Epifanes has a download describing all of Epifanes products. I use Epifanes products exclusively and am very happy with them. I'm building a 21ft coastal cruising catamaran and have already used Epifanes non-skid powder with their mono-urethane paint on top of the Multi Marine Primer. Works Great! -Bruce
