Product Details

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.

Info & Guides
Application Notes:

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.

I have used this product several times.
By Scott first time boatbuilder from West Columbia, SC

Verified Purchase

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

Great base coat for underwater
By Jimbo from Richlands NC

Verified Purchase

The only thing I can say negatively is the amount of stirring needed to mix the two parts. The base is so thick and when you add the epoxy, it takes a long time to get it mixed properly.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Total Boat Barrier Coat
By Walt from Spring Lake, MI

Verified Purchase

I couldn't be more impressed with Jamestown Distributing. Product arrived on time and in good condition. To my surprise, it also came with paint brushes, roller, roller tray, painters tape and a Tyvek painters jump suit. I guess only time will tell with how the product holds up but at this point I couldn't be any happier.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
