TotalProtect universal high-build epoxy primer & barrier coat prevents & repairs gelcoat blistering. It eliminates water absorption & migration, the major cause of fiberglass hull blisters.
TotalProtect is also an excellent anticorrosive primer for underwater metals such as aluminum, steel, lead, cast iron, stainless & bronze & is compatible with all antifouling paints. Two-part 3:1 ratio system is easy to mix, dries fast & needs no sanding. Use above/below waterline.
Choose Quart or Gallon size in White or Gray.
Bonus: Each Gallon kit includes a roller frame & 3/16 in. nap solvent-safe cover, metal tray, stir stick, paint suit, roll of 1 in. painter's tape & 2 in. chip brush.
For best results, thin with TotalBoat Epoxy Primer Thinner 200 & use a 3/16 in. nap or foam solvent-safe roller cover.
THINNING: TotalBoat TotalProtect is a very thick coating that typically needs to be thinned, for best results. TotalBoat Epoxy Primer Thinner 200 is the required thinner for TotalProtect. Do not use any other thinner to reduce.
REQUIRED ROLLER: TotalProtect can be applied by brushing, rolling or spraying. For best results when rolling, use a 3/16" nap or foam solvent-safe roller cover.
Do not apply TotalProtect over 1-part paints.

The pluses. It works well. The minuses. Requires accurate mixing if you are not using it all at once. It also is thick so you need to have thinner on hand.

The gallon can was bent up all around, and the contents very lumpy. While there was no apparent leak-evidence on the can itself, the contents appeared to have lost some of its carrier fluids. Two facts indicated this to me. One the lumpy condition of the contents and the thickness of the product even after extended mixing with an electric mixer on a power drill. One other fact was in the amount of area this gallon of the product covered. I needed to order and wait for an additional quart of the product to finish the barrier coating of the bottom of a 23 foot O'Day sailboat. I also noticed when mixing and applying the product from the additional quart differences. The new Quart was of the normal viscosity and free of lumps.

Followed all instructions to the letter. Called for tech support. Nevertheless with every application (by small HD foam roller)(thinned as directed) it left a rough surface (very much like Rino spray-on bed liner for pickup truck bed) that had to nearly totally removed to get a semi-smooth surface. If you want a Rino bed liner finish, this is your product. Otherwise, steer clear.

This primer is tough and finish is nice. The kit comes with everything you need I'm a DIY GUY and after a grueling job of removal of bottom paint I chose this primer as the finish for the bottom I trailer my boat and wanted white without the cost of gel coat love the outcome.

I used this to repair a "ding" I put in my rudder after my son had turned the rudder while in its up position into the spinning prop on the outboard. Fortunately the damage didn't penetrate through the fiberglass, but it was fairly deep. As I worked on the repair I found that the fairing was also finding imperfections in the surface of the rudder that I had not realized were there. Next spring I may completely re-fair both sides of the rudder. It did shrink a little so I had to use more than one coat. My only wish is that you could put bottom paint right on the fairing instead of needing to put on a coat of undercoat. Thus 4 stars.
