Comments about Epifanes Epifanes Multi Marine Primer:

Dilute 5 to 10% with same brand of thinner. Spray using good technique and put down multiple thin coats. Let it cure before sanding between coats. It will give you a tough, superior base for the Monourethane paint. It is not forgiving, so keep a cool head and make any "repairs" when you sand. The tech help was very instructive. I used it on a rowing shell I was building.

Comments about Epifanes Epifanes Multi Marine Primer:

I have used this on my side guard rails as I was tired of trying to keep varnish on them. I striped off the old varnish ,put on two coats of Epifanes multipurpose primer, and covered that with one component Epifanes enamel. That was 3 years ago and it still looks as good as the day I put it on. There are no short cuts and one must watch the temp, wind and humidity

I would not buy this again

Comments about Epifanes Epifanes Multi Marine Primer:

The first time I tried this product, I brushed it on. After a week of letting it "dry", it was still soft and could be easily dented with a fingernail. I tried sandding it, and it loaded 80 grit sandpaper so badly, I had to scrape it off with a putty knife. I tried a second coat rolling it on as thinly as I could. Again, I waited a week to try to get it to dry... I was finally able to wet sand it using 220 grit sandpaper.
