Wet Edge is easy to clean, resists staining, & has incredible abrasion resistance. Our unique urethane formula provides superior adhesion and flexibility, allowing the natural expansion and contraction of your boat's hull without causing the finish to lift or crack.

I'm sorry about this but I didn't state my question correctly the other day. I had asked: ""I used TotalBoat Fairing compound and now plan to apply TotalBoat Topside Primer and Wet Edge. Not sure what amine bush is but I take it that the cured fairing compound will have it? How to I prep bare, cured fairing for primer and final coats?"What I MEANT to say was "amine BLUSH", not BUSH. I'm so embarrassed! Somebody mentioned that when the Total Fair cures, it will have a surface that has "amine blush" and that I need to take care of it by thoroughly washing with pads and soap prior to priming and painting. Is this true? Do I sand the cured TF first, then wash it prior to primer?Thanks.Jim
Jim
Amine blush is generated as an epoxy cures, and is sort of waxy, so paintsetc. will not adhere well.Just wash it as recommended. It is pretty standard to find this.

Jim
The fairing compound does not blush, just sand with 220 grit and apply the primer.

Yes it will be careful, this paint seems to run very easily. You must rolland tip this paint or it will be a mess.

I am painting a single rowing shell with Wet Edge Flag Blue. I'd like to create. Mirror finish if possible. Would you recommend a clear coat on top of the Wet Edge, possibly followed by polishing compound and wax. Also,for this desired finish, what sanding do you recommend between coats? Thanks
Rob
We don't have a single part clear coat available that could go over the top of the Wet Edge Flag Blue. It should be very glossy when dry. You can compound out any slight defects and protect with a coat of wax. Wait at least a week and be sure the paint is fully cured and hard before wet sanding or compounding. Sand between coats with 220- 320 grit.

I am in the process of painting my 1977 catalina 22 sailboat. The hull has been primed and painted with interlux 1 part epoxy paint. For the non-skid, I have decided to use rubber particles from softsandrubber.com sprinkled onto the wet paint. please recommend which of your paints to use for this application. I would also like to go with a semi-gloss (flatter) finish for the non-skid, versus the glossy finish.
Bob Heaton
The wet edge in flat white will work well for that.

I have a 13 ft 1978 Boston Whaler and I am getting ready to restore the boat. I am looking for a bottom paint for the boat and would like a recommendation please. Also with the wet edge top paint, will a quart be enough top complete the top?
LipRipper
A quart of Totalboat Spartan will do the bottom.You will need 2 quarts of Wet Edge to do two thin coats.

I work seasonally for a Harbormaster department on Cape Cod and am quite familiar with turning our fleet of boats from tired looking work horses to showroom grade masterpieces using various brands of topside paints, but mostly the Petit brand.My hobby is doing track days with my sportbike motorcycles and after an early season mishap, I was ready to paint a full set of new fiberglass fairings/bodywork. I know I might destroy the bodywork again or even worse, so I was not looking to pay upwards of $1,500 to have the bodywork professionaly painted. I have plastidip'd an entire bike in the past and it's perfect for track use but that stuff hates gasoline drips or solvents touching it. I was looking for something cheap, good DIY'er application, and durable. Using topside paints at my Harbormaster job caused me come up with the great idea to try the paint application we use on the boats for my latest motorcycle bodywork project.I settled upon Totalboat Wet Edge after a recommendation from a coworker who was restoring an old 13' Boston Whaler. And the price for a quart was well within my budget.I read a lot of reviews here and also had my own trial and errors until I discovered what worked best for my use/needs.Prep: I found wet sanding at 320 grit was good for roughing up the bodywork primer and knocking down any flaws in the panels. I then cleaned the bodywork with alocohol or mineral spirits, let that evaporate, then go over all of it with a tack cloth, ready for painting.Painting: I found just rolling with a mini-foam roller was all that was necessary for me. Experimenting revealed that after 48 hours of curing, I could wet sand down to super fine grits of 1500 and 2000 and then attack the pieces with my orbital buffer and achieve a perfectly level and high gloss finish. I ultimately settled on thinning with 10% mineral spirits and applying a thick last coat with the roller. It cured nearly level and better than some automotive finished churned out these days.

I bought a quart of Seafoam a year ago but due to extended illness didn't get to use until a week ago. When I removed shipping clips and opened the can, paint was totally hard like a block of epoxy. I called and spoke with Rick who was very helpful and he sent out a replacement can which I received 36 hours later. Jamestown's excellent service makes them my top choice for marine supplies!Now for the paint, I rolled and tipped. You do have to work fast to keep a wet edge. It was tacky (no paint on finger when touching) 2 hours later but did take a full 2 days before hard enough to sand for second coat. Finish has a real nice high gloss and if feels very durable. I anticipate it will last many more years than the Kirby enamel I originally had on boat. I will definitely be using this paint again!

The product quality is high, but the color "fire red" is really "clown nose" red. Was hoping for a richer, slightly darker, red. The color chips both on line and in the printed material are not really accurate. If you want a seriously bright red, this is the color for you. I only make this a "no" recommendation because I bought this based on the chip color, paid to ship it, put it on a test piece, and it was seriously wrong. Not "oops...I don't like that color". That would be my fault and I'd take the $$ hit and move on. This was bad color on the printed chips.

Paint was easy to use and covered great. Boat was transformed from old and faded to almost new look. Very happy with purchase and product. Used a brush to trim and a roller to finish. Looks great !!! Only downside was my error. I used brush on side walls and applied paint too thick. Had some run marks. Had to sand and then roll, looks good but I made extra work.
