ONE-PART MARINE PRIMER FOR BOATS provides a durable, flexible undercoat for 1-part and 2-part polyurethane and enamel marine topside paint; for use above the waterline on fiberglass, wood, gelcoat and previously painted surfaces in good condition
COVERS COMPLETELY IN JUST ONE COAT: High-solids primer seals the surface with 1 thin coat; apply a second coat only if a higher build is needed; to fill large surface imperfections use TotalBoat TotalFair epoxy fairing compound before applying Topside Primer
EASY TO APPLY BY BRUSHING, ROLLING OR SPRAYING: Use a natural bristle paint brush, a 1/8 " solvent-safe foam roller, or to spray, use a 1.1mm tip; wear proper personal protection; work in a well-ventilated area; boat primer is chromate-free and lead-free
DRIES FAST, CURES TO A SMOOTH, HARD FINISH: Ready to sand in 60-90 minutes at 65°F; marine paint primer is easy to sand, then just wipe clean and apply a topside finish such as TotalBoat Wet Edge or TotalTread marine non-skid deck paint
AVAILABLE IN WHITE AND GRAY IN QUART AND GALLON SIZES. Brush/roller application - thin with TotalBoat Special Brushing Thinner 100; spray application - thin with xylene; do not apply Topside Primer thicker than recommended or it may not cure properly
To ensure the topside paint on your boat adheres well and won't lift or peel, apply TotalBoat Topside Primer first. This one-part premium marine undercoat is compatible with all 1- and 2-part polyurethane and enamel topside paints. Its high-solids formula flows easily, requires only one coat, dries quickly, and is easy to sand. Perfect for priming decks and hulls above the waterline before applying a topside hull paint, such as Total Boat Wet Edge, or a non-skid marine deck paint, such as TotalBoat Total Tread. Topside Primer is easy to apply by brushing, rolling, or spraying on properly prepared wood, fiberglass, gel coat and previously painted surfaces in good condition. Because of the high solids content, it's important to stir this primer for a full five minutes before applying, to ensure it's mixed thoroughly. If needed, thin with TotalBoat Special Brushing Thinner 100 when brushing, and xylene when spraying. As for application tools, we recommend the following: Brush Application - natural bristle brush; Roller Application - 1/8" solvent-safe foam roller cover; Spray Application - 1.1mm spray tip. Most applications will require only one coat. It's not necessary to achieve full hide from Topside Primer, and additional coats should not be applied to achieve full hide. It's more important to have a thin, consistent coat. If a second coat is needed, sand lightly with 220-grit sandpaper and remove any sanding residue with a clean, dry lint-free rag or vacuum. Choose white or gray in quart or gallon sizes. TotalBoat Topside Paint Primer provides excellent coverage, requires fewer coats, dries faster, and is more flexible than other one-part marine-grade primers.
