Thanks Dennis, I did not know about the Preval, it looks like a great approach to cover up repairs!
If any of you have experience using Brightside over a thickened epoxy repair, am I right in planning for: One coat of Interlux Pre-kote primer Two coats of Interlux Brightside + Interlux flattening agent (with both thinned with Interlux special thinner 216) My main concern is with the pre-kote, in some brochures from Interlux they recommend using Interprotec 2000E over Epoxy. But the pre-kote brochure specifically mention epoxy as a substrate with only washing and sanding for prep. -- Sébastien Lemieux Merlot X, C&C 30-2 1988 Lake Champlain On Aug 17, 2014, at 14:49 , Dennis C. <capt...@gmail.com> wrote: > Buy some paint (Interlux Brightside being the easiest to find and work with) > and a Preval sprayer.
