Comments about Interlux Interlux VC Underwater Epoxy:

I used the VC Underwater epoxy when restoring a 1963 fiberglass Starcraft for my son. It is excellent paint for anyone wanting a hard, slick finish. I applied it with a standard spray gun using 40 psi. It went on perfect with no runs. Recoat after 15 minutes. I used 3 heavy coats and the finish is like factory gelcoat[...]Excellent product from an outstanding distributor.

Comments about Interlux Interlux VC Underwater Epoxy:

It gets very hard very quickly therefore if you intend to sand it you must jump on it as soon as possible. To get the best possible spray surface finish it needs to be reduced 10 - 20% which is more than the tech sheet recommends.

Comments about Interlux Interlux VC Underwater Epoxy:

Do your best prep work and the application will be smooth. 3 coats did a great job on my daysailer after many hours of sanding off old anti-fouling copper paint.

Comments about Interlux Interlux VC Underwater Epoxy:

This was the first time I used the product. I usually use gel coat, especially on decks since it is harder than epoxies. This product was very easy to spray. I had no problem with runs or sagging even though I put on heavy coats. And, it wet sanded easily (did this within 24 hours of last coat) followed by buffing. Although the finish is not a "bright finish" it is perfect for what it is designed to do. I would receommend it to anyone who does not have the skill to spray gel coat as a "finish coat."

Comments about Interlux Interlux VC Underwater Epoxy:

I have restored several boats using Interlux VC Performance Epoxy. With excellent surface preparation and several coats laid on with high quality foam brushes the finish is fantastic as applied. If you want to take it to the next level and wet sand it and polish it, you will end up with a boat that looks like it was re-gelcoated. This is great stuff! And, can take a season in the water and not deteriorate. I am hooked on this product. I wish I could get it in the colors typical of 1950 and 1960 production glass boats.

For the comment about brush marks someone noted, I suspect it was too hot when you were painting, and you weren't using high quality foam.

Comments about Interlux Interlux VC Underwater Epoxy:

In high temperatures this paint could only be used in small applications. I used less than 1 cup at a time in the sprayer cleaning the sprayer immediately after each application. Coverage was great and looked great. This overlaid fiberglass damage and tar2 primer.
