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 kit in White or Gray.

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.

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.

The high performance is perfect for for addressing delamination problems, if they're limited to small areas. The advantage of the slow hardener is that when injected into tight area it will seep into cracks before hardening. The bottles and pumps are made so that the correct ration of epoxy and hardener are dispensed using the same amount of pumps.

I used this on a sanded section of aluminum diamond plate. The underside coated fine but after sanding and etching the top the coating would attach itself and I ended up with a mess. I did call and ask if sand blasting would be better but I was told to sand to 220 and etch then apply. The bottom side turned out great. The top not so much.

Great coverage , adheres very well . I used it as a top coat after i filled gouges and scratches in the gel coat on the bottom of the boat , It's been on for a little over a month and is holding up, doesn't stain easily from the intercoastal water . I don't anticipate any issues with this product

Don't know whether I'm more impressed with the product or Jamestown Dist. The product was well packed, shipped quickly, and, heck they even threw in roller, tray, tape, and draping.

Covered entire hull (top and bottom) of 1966 Boston Whaler that had light crazing all over it. Used Wet edge on top of hull after and bottom paint after cured. Paint went on well and has held up great. Boat was kept in salt water last year from may to sept and had no issues.
