Default Prime before Bilgekote?

Do you have to prime bare fiberglass before you put on Bilgekote?

I have used bilgekote on several boats without a primer. It does a good job.

BilgeKote covers really well, make sure you have an oil free surface or it will not dry correctly.

I used Bligekote and loved it. I did use the primer before I applied the bilgekote and the job turned out great. After I applied the primer I almost didn't want to apply the bilgekote because the primer in its self looked awesome.

Its great stuff just wipe your glass clean with a solvent and it will stick. I rolled it on and brushed the corners and it looks great. Sticks well!!!

I use bildekote and It cleans easy. I spray super clean or purple power and just hose it out and quick towel dry. nothing sticks to it.
