Questions & Answers about Epifanes Multi Marine Primer:
2011-11-29A shopper asked: what coverage rate does the epifanes multimarine primer give on fiberglass?
+Expand Answers
2011-11-29TED BOST: Coverage with primer is somewhat less than Epifanes Monourethane paint so you will use a little more. It does dry fast. I can tell you I painted an anchor locker cover with Epifanes on one side and Interlux on the other. My wife used very hard, sharp fingernails in progressive scratch tests over a period of two weeks. Testing confirmed video demonstration on Jamestown website. Epifanes didn't allow scratching or marking after a few days while Interlux continued to show scratches even after drying for over a month. It is truly a hard drying product.
2011-12-01BRIAN HYSLOP: I used about 1/2 a quart on about 60 square feet of glassed plywood. This primer was my first foray into marine paints. Wow what an improvement over the house paint market.
2012-01-21BRUCE KACHLINE: The side of the can says "8-10 meter squared per liter. Also says 80-100 sq ft per liter. The small can holds 750 ml and should be thinned by 10%.
Stir it well; I stir for three minutes then pour and use.
I use mine in an HVLP sprayer and thin to spec with Epifanes spray thinner.
If you roll it on, roll it thin. I suggest so thin that bubbles form off of a 3" foam roller cover. I quickly tip with a foam brush to break the bubbles. Then, let it alone.
Also, keep within Epifanes weather limits. Between 50F and 85F with humidity less than 85%. I found this to be important when using Epifanes products.

I use Epifanes products exclusively and am very happy with them.
I'm building a 21ft coastal cruising catamaran and have already used Epifanes non-skid powder with their mono-urethane paint on top of the Multi Marine Primer.
Works Great!

I have just finished painting the interior of a small craft, having done the exterior hull last year. Multi marine primer works great but you MUST follow the directions - even call Epifanes if you wish. They will give detailed instructions on how to prepare the surfaces prior to painting. I have had no trouble and so far it has provided an excellent one part primer for the top coats of yacht enamel. First coat was diluted with Epifanes thinner (10:1) I have put 3 coats on prior to topcoats, sanding between each. I applied using chinese bristle brush. Good product, great customer service.

Comments about 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 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

Comments about 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.
