Reviews for TotalBoat TotalProtect Epoxy Primer & Barrier Coat

I used Total Protect as a primer / barrier over a deck and bulwarks that had been mostly sanded to bare fiberglass. Applied per instructions with the supplied roller and an equivalent mini roller for the tight spots, I found the product hard to apply smoothly. In dry, 70 degree weather and thinned to maximum recommended, it would only hold a wet edge for 20 or 30 seconds. The resultant finish had a heavy orange peel and lumps where edges lapped. All the areas where a smooth final finish was required needed extensive sanding and two additional coats of a traditional high-build primer. I feel good that the deck is well protected, but it was much more work than I bargained for. Total Protect is good for wide-open areas where orange peel can be tolerated, but a real pain in areas with fine detail that need a smooth, glossy final finish.

I spent a couple of weeks sanding off four or five layers of old paint on a 30 year old pool liner coping. I didn't want to waste my time on questionable products that say they work on aluminum and are good for water. I discovered Total Boat on Amazon and bought the paint and called the Total Boat company to purchase the epoxy primer. The salesman knew exactly what I needed and within a couple of days I received the epoxy paint. The primer went on very well somewhat thick, but it flowed great. Looking back, it was near 90° and I should've used a little more of the thinner. I used a JB Weld epoxy kit to fill in where the aluminum head. And actually been eaten through. The primer went on the JB Weld very well also. I then put the epoxy paint on top and it is a smooth as glass. It looks phenomenal. I hope it lasts as good as it looks. So I have marine grade primer, and paint on my pool coping for a saltwater pool. Currently the water just rolls off the paint. Love this product. It is a bit touchy with the fumes and you must wear gloves and some long sleeves but if I never have to touch this for a few years, it will be well worth it!!!!

Stirring and mixing was straightforward. Plenty of time to paint the whole deck before the epoxy started to firm up. There was enough paint for three full coats.

I've only put the boat in the water one time since I put this paint on, so I can't comment on the durability yet, but the leftover paint I left in the can I was painting from got very hard, so I don't see anything going wrong with the paint I put on the hull of my boat. The staff at Total Boat was awesome to work with and guided me to all of the materials I needed for this repair.

At first, I found this paint to be a little temperamental. I didn't like the result of using the TB epoxy thinner due to the quick evaporation and added fumes. I also had some issues with clumping if I over-rolled the application. I decided to watch a You Tube video of Louis Sauzedde applying the product and cutting it with mineral spirits, and even though I thoroughly wipe down the surface, I also had suspicions of surface contamination causing the clumping issue. I sponged off the surface with water, wiped it twice with TB surface prep, and was still picking up surface dust on my black nitril gloves. I finally used a microfiber dusting cloth and that seemed to do the trick. After mixing and setting for 15 minutes, I thinned with 10% mineral spirits and was able to roll on like acrylic enamel. Smooth as a baby's behind.

I used this gray epoxy primer coat first, followed by a white epoxy primer for the second coat. It worked perfectly. This gray epoxy primer paint was the perfect first coat of bottom paint, below the water line, on a Catalina 22 sailboat. It is a thick paint in a good way. Applied with paint rollers. Highly recommended.

This last order was total boat epoxy primer in gray 3 to 1. We used it as the second coat of primer for the floor of an 18 foot world boat skiff that my grandson and I are building. We already used this product for both the first and second coats of the sides inside and out. It mixes easily and it rolls and brushes on smoothly. Very pleased with this and other total boat products we used on the boat. Scott Anderson
