Why would you want to put epoxy resin over it?
If you want an 2 part epoxy rust paint for steel use Bar Rust 235 from Devoe
Coatings. It is excellent but the OP wanted something simple.

Do you know if epoxy resin will adhere to it?

I want a rust inhibiting and adhesion layer for subsequent glass lay
up (reinforcment and leak control). "Bar Rust" looks like a NZ
product, do you know if they sell in the US? Could not find any US
distributors online so far.

It's parent company is ICI

I found the best way to apply is to get 2 different colors and apply each
coat a different color and then you know you are getting a complete coat. I
use it Around salt water with 4-5 coats and it is excellent.

Is the Bar Rust significantly more durable in it's rust prevention ?

Since I'm planning on scaling anyway, if I can then apply something
significantly more durable, I'd prefer to do so :-)

Cordially,

Yes, but the key is the number of coats. When I first used it I only put on
1 coat but after a year it started to rust. Since then I usually put on 4
coats and it shows no sign of corrosion at all. It is very wear resistant as
well. Also if there is a chip from it being hit very hard and the paint
comes off to the metal. The rust will not spread under the unaffected area.

Thank you for your reply.

I have used a product that sounds similar that is basically phosphoric
acid which costs about the same. I assume you are talking about the Blue
Steel primer which is about $20/liter.

How exactly do you use it, please ?

Thanks,
Courtney

I get it from below

If that link won't work try www.mermaidmarine.com
and then choose Boat care then Paint and then scroll down until you see Blue
Steel.

Looking for the simplest, least expensive way to rust inhibit and
refinish a [steel] sailboat trailer, after rust descaling.

If it matters, I'm thinking of doing this incrementally. It's 45' long.

Gratefully,

Courtney

I remove any loose rust with a wire brush and then apply with a paint brush.
It goes on milky white and then dries to a clear color but makes the steel
underneath a blackish color. Make sure there is no grease or oil etc.. Wash
the brush out with water. The difference I found with this and phosphoric
acid is it leaves a hard clear coating when dry.
