Primer advice from the experts
As many of you know- I am currently in the process of painting my boat. I have a couple of questions that I hope some of you might be able to help me with.
First of all, my boat has multiple repairs and stripes. Should I use Evercoat's G2 Polyester Primer for "high build"?
Can I seal after that, or do I need to follow that up with K36? I have access to PPG and Dupont- so if there is some other product I should be using please let me know.
Thanks guys-
Scott

Scott,
The Evercoat product will work, however you say you have access to Dupont. Many Dupont distributors carry either Standox or Spies Hecker. The Standox product I would recomend is PE Filler #14947 or Spies Raderal Spray Poly #3508-.09 both can fill up to 40 mils and sand much easier than the Evercoat product without shrinkage. You will have to follow with a K36 or Dupont Uro Filler to seal a polyester as they are porous and absorb water. There are some excelent Satndox or Spies primers also just don't know what you have access to.

I use an epoxy primer called Glass Shield made in Quebec canada. This stuff is amazing. It takes 7 days to completely cure, but its bullet proof. Seals even bad substrates.

I have used Duratec and Ginger is right, it does fill well, but doesn't sand as well ( kick with MEK) as K36 which I like which fills and sands well. It also make a good basecoat sealer with min. mils.
