Comments about Interlux Interlux Epoxy Primekote:

Shame on Interlux and JD for not advising the user that the base is NOT a liquid. It's a gel, and does not pour. I shook the large can and heard no liquid. When I opened the can, I thought that the base had congealed and was no good.
Two very long trips to West Marine, and we found the same thing in other cans. Store called Interlux and was told that the soft lard-like consistency was normal!!! A real pain when you are trying to mix a partial batch for a small job. Very disappointed.

Don't let the videos on the site fool you. People are rolling/brushing this stuff on with no respirators on. You need high end respirator to use this product the way they say with the brushing thinner. Never used anything with this bad fumes in my life.

Great product. All paints and primers are messy and virtually all to some degree will have an odor. As someone who has painted hundreds of cars and many boats I can say that it doesn't make sense to list strong smell as a con ( I have read this on reviews by others). This is rated for above or below water line which makes it great for all applications. It;s also very sandable and can be used for leveling as well as barrier coating.

I did not thin as described and I had all sorts of brush strokes!

Comments about Interlux Interlux Epoxy Primekote:

I originally used this product based upon some recommendations from moderately experienced people who have applied 2 part Epoxy LPU's. It was very thick and required much thinning even at 60F. My best results were to go thin on the coats with 25% thinner. It was very difficult to tip and settle. Very noxious fumes even with respirator since 10% still make it past the 3M VOC cartridges (according to 3M).

I've switched gears and went with the single part LPU's. OK because it's just the deck smooth sides. I know it won't last like the 2 part LPU, but single part LPU's are less toxic for people and the planet and easier to apply.

Used on a 13'Boston Whaler along with Perfection Paint. The results were terrific! IF using the roller and brush tip method be sure to thin using 2333N with a 25% mixture. If you dont,it'll be too thick and not flow well leaving brush marks. Other wise, just follow the instructions, it's a fairly easy product to use and to get terrific results with! (Add thinner after letting the mixture sit for 20 minutes just before application!)

Went on really well with a brush, but it has to be thinned. I found conflicting instructions online. Doesn't run too badly, covers the square footage they claim. The smell is awful. Wear a mask and/or have a good breeze going!

I used this primer on my 35 year old fiberglass boat, deck and hull. I sprayed the primer and got great results, no runs or sags. It was easy to sand for smooth topcoats.

I used the Epoxy Prime Kote to prime an older Bass boat I restored. I used it to prime under both the topside paint as well as under the paint I used for the storage compartments and bilge area. It goes on easy and is smooth to apply. Its slow dry time makes it easy to use on large areas without "sticky brush" syndrom. It sands out easily, covers nicely, and layers up well. All around good stuff.
