Default Put a Coat of Epoxy over Fairing Compound on the Deck?

mentioned in another post), and use it as a barrier to prevent water
from getting into the fairing compound.

Save yourself some trouble.

Pick a coating system then use their high build primer to seal the
fairing compound.

That is how the systems are engineered.

Something that I said might have misled you to believe that I was
choosing different products from different companies. Yes, I am
sticking with one system to finish the deck. This was the reason why I
will be using Interlux 404/414 Epoxy Primkote as the primer. And then
I will put on a two part polyurethanes (Interlux Perfection) over the
primer with flattening agent and non-skid additives (all from
Interlux). This is exactly what the painting guide in Interlux web
site recommends, and I am sticking to it (I don't know this well enough
to try to derivate from the painting guide). Thanks for the warning
though.
