Q: null Can this primer be covered with waterbased paint
8 months ago1 Answer
A: The answer is probably yes but that's really a question for the manufacturer of the water based paint. They will have specific recommendations for prepping the substrate for their product.

Q: null If this primer (TotalBoat Topside Primer) is recommended for above the waterline, why to you show a video of the painter applying the primer to the hull?
a year ago1 Answer
A: Hi there. Thanks for reaching out. The boat shown in this video will be trailered and will not spend long amounts of time in the water. You can use this primer below the water line if the boat will not be stored in the water for more than 24 hours at a time.

Q: null Can I apply 2-part alexseal topside paint over this product? If not can I apply the alexseal primer over the sanded total boat Topside primer that is already on my boat (I stripped the previous paint)?
a year ago2 Answers
A: Alexseal is a two part paint. Generally it is not recommended to apply a two part paint over a single part primer because the solvents in the two part can cause the single part primer to blister.

Q: null It has been 24 hours since application and I cannot sand it off. It is gumming up all of my sand paper regardless of hand or machine sanding and regardless of grit. Now what?! I'm panicking because the texture marks are obvious and look terrible. Paint won't hide it. Does anyone have ideas on what I can do?

A: Very similar results. I used to recommend TopSide and Wet Edge, but it's just unpredictable. The help desk says, well, it's touchy. That doesn't help when I'm waiting 4 days for the paint to dry after having followed instructions. So done with this product.

Q: null totalboat primer says not for below waterline... but the video shows using it on complete dinghy hull, which is what i was planning... using totalboat Wet Edge for top coat... is there a better choice for primer? dinghy is fiberglass and will sit in water all summer.. will apply bottom paint as well

A: The problem with this answer is IF you want to add total protect below water line don't you have to completely strip off any old paint if it is ONE part? Clarity on what total protect adheres to would be very helpful.

Q: null Plan to prime a non skid deck and then apply Wet edge topside. Does the primer absolutely need to be sanded prior to top coat, or is there another option you know of?
2 years ago1 Answer
A: In order to get good adhesion of the topcoat to the primer it does need at least a light scuff sanding with 220 grit or a scotch brite pad.

Q: null Since the Topside Primer (TB-PrimeWG-K) is for use with one and two part topside finishes can Quantum 99 topcoat be applied over it?
2 years ago1 Answer
A: I would only use the primer recommended by Quantum.

Q: null Can I use this primer for both the top and bottom? Plan to use Perfection on the bottom and Wet Edge on top
2 years ago3 Answers
A: Do not think it is designed for bottom - any scratches on paint and I think you will be wishing you used a two part epoxy under the water line.
