: "prime" the repair spots with solvent thinned epoxy. That "patch/fair" those spots with either an exterior putty or thickened epoxy. Now prime the entire hull with more solvent thinned epoxy. Especially over those patch spots if you used putty. Then paint with a quart of enamel from the hardware store. paul oman progressive epoxy polymers Thank you to both of you who replied. Appreciated. I have it sanded down now to 220 grit all over. Another couple of questions thou' - haven't done this before... What solvent should be used with Epoxy and in what quantity? After priming the entire hull should I sand it again prior to painting? When you say a quart of enamel what exactly is that? In the store there's latex based, acrylic based or oil based? If I don't mind the multi color patches could I leave the epoxy primer over the entire hull as the 'paint'? thanks again |
