Epifanes Primer: Hard As Nails / A Bit Finicky to Use : )
5 years ago
Despite what others say, this is great hard primer that has good sanding characteristics and coverage. The only drawbacks are that it is finicky with weather (either direct sun or wind) ... and one has to use some trial and error to get the brushing liquid ratio correct for given conditions. I found that rolling only worked ... the primer didn't like to be tipped with a brush at all. Also, square foot coverage varies with the surface ... ie: prepped fiberglass surface was porous and took nearly double the amount recommended. 2nd coat of primer covered adequately to the stated coverage amount. Found that rolling on 34' sailboat hull vertically is not the same as the YouTube instructional videos that only show rolling & tipping on small tenders. The product rolled well vertically w/o having to roll horizontally - - - with given conditions be careful of drips and roll in easily managed ""panels"" less than 18"" in width. Don't apply in direct sun. Do apply in conditions less than 70F or so.

Q: Can Epiphanes two part urethane primer and paint be used on a wood hull ?
4 years ago1 Answer
A: The answer is yes but it may not be the best choice, depending on the type of construction. Like all paints, it is likely to crack along seams due to flexing, expansion, and contraction. If your boat requires frequent repainting due to this, you are better off with the Yacht Enamel, or Monourethane.

Q: I'm planning a final finish coat of aqua mist color epifanes poly over the primer. I like the idea of gray primer, as i'll be painting over original Mako white gel coat, but I'm wondering if I should choose white primer instead since I'll be finish-coating with such a light color (so the gray doesn't show through). I'm planning to use 2-3 finish coats, but I've had issues with non-white primers showing through white interlux perfection top coats in the past. Do you think gray will work ok with aqua mist top coat or not? Thanks

A: I think you could go with either color to achieve a solid base color. You could even belend a white and a grey together t lighten the grey. My first choice however, would be white. The paint works best if applied in thin coats so don't panic if the first coat doesn't hide so well. If you apply it consistently you should get full coverage with 3 coats.
