TotalBoat TotalBoat TotalProtect Epoxy Barrier Coat System (White, Quart)

Used this to seal my boat deck after sanding/fairing/sanding/fairing to reseal the surface prior to installing new marine vinyl. The white color was nice enough, though not a factor in my application. I did NOT attempt to tint the paint. The paint was straightforward to apply according to directions with a short nap roller and laid down nicely to give me a smooth surface for the vinyl install. It set up well and was fully dry at 24 hours dry time as expected with ambient temperatures around 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The surface seemed very hard and I suspect it would hold up well if directly exposed to foot traffic rather than covered. I did have a few high spots (my fault) that needed some spot sanding and the cured paint sanded well without excessive clogging. The areas I sanded were not quite as pretty as the rest of the surfaces but, again, not a concern. Recommended.

I used this paint on a marine-plywood rowing boat. As an epoxy, it bonds well with wood and with scuffed coast of epoxy. This is my below-the-waterline barrier coat and I'm also using it on the interior planks of the dinghy as a waterproof primer. This paint is the consistency of mayonnaise with not much liquid in the container. You'll want an electric drill-powered paint mixer to thoroughly mix the paint and the catalyst. It rolls on thick and easy and doesn't sag but the finish is not smooth like topside paint. Use as-is to protect fiberglass boat hulls. I'll leave it as-is below the waterline but am using two coats so I can sand it smooth and fill with a primer above the waterline before applying topside paint. Also, the directions say to let the paint sit after mixing. Pot life is long so no need to hurry like you would with 5:1 epoxy.

Used it as a primer coat for Interlux BilgeKote in the bilge of a boat while engine and outdrive was removed for rebuilding. All application surfaces were cleaned and degreased. The surfaces over which this was applied was a mix of epoxy, JB Weld, and gel coat. Areas were painted with a 4" foam roller and a 2" disposable brush. The foam roller purchased from the local home-doodle store started to crack and get limp right around the time I finished (1/2 hour later) apparently due to the chemicals in the primer attacking the foam. Primer adhered quite well to all surfaces, even the smooth areas of the gel coat which was not scuffed. This stuff just plain sticks! One quart was ample with about 6 ounces to spare for any touch-up. Epoxy mixed well with drill and mixing tool. Clean up with Xylene was painless. I have yet to apply the BilgeKote, but looking at the instructions, I expect no issues.

Bought this to protect and finish a wood and plywood cockpit for my homebuilt 'tri-yak'. Both my gen-1 and gen-2. Both used in south Florida Keys and salt water. No topcoat. Just a rugged no slip surface often covered in stinky chum and fish guts. No cracking or checking in the plywood floor. Sets up well and sandable. Guess what I'll be using for my new outdoor shooting table?

Great product
