## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would i have to add a thinner to brush it on smoother?**
A: I bought the thinner and did NOT need it for a smooth and shiny application. It is a slow cure/dry process and self levels pretty nicely.

**Q: Can I use this primer and the topside paint on the hull of a wood and canvas canoe?**
A: No.  You'll need a flexible paint.  Contact TotalBoat and ask if there is an additive you could use.  The Automotive world has such an additive for painting the flexible bumper covers with enamel.

**Q: Can this product be used on concrete?**
A: It probably can, although I would probably choose a product that was intended for concrete

**Q: Can it be used on bare cast iron?**
A: I really don't know but I would imagine that it would.  We used it on  bare treadplate and it worked very well - even better than I expected. After one year of heavy use, it still looks good.

### ⭐⭐ Review
*by D***R on 24 April 2023*

Generally, I am a fan of Total Boat products. I find them to be very high quality and a great value compared to some of the other "name" brands. I have bought enough of them recently to own stock in the company. That said, I am not at all a fan of this primer. Thankfully, I applied it to my transom as a "test case" before applying to my entire topsides. I thinned 5% , and applied with a 1/8 inch mohair roller between 2 and 3 mils wet film thickness (measured with gage) as directed. At 75 degrees F, it flashed so fast it could not be tipped even working in small sections. It dried fully within a couple hours as advertised. I then attempted sanding starting after about a 4 hour cure, and then every day thereafter for the next 5 days. It is DEFINITELY NOT SANDABLE as stated, even after 5 days cure. It loads up dry #220 grit almost immediately. I had limited success hand sanding and DA sanding with #220 wet, but that was an extremely slow process and I gave up trying to sand it down to a orange peel free finish. The primer is MUCH, MUCH, MUCH harder to sand than properly cured Wet Edge topside paint. It does not produce a "fine white powder" as does the cured Wet Edge, or for that matter, any other "sandable" primer, including Total Boat epoxy barrier coat. Upon consultation with Jamestown Distributors, they confirmed that the primer is an unnecessary step if using Wet Edge over aged, dewaxed, cleaned, and scuff sanded (#220) gelcoat. I also noticed that the topside primer "re-softens" almost immediately if wiped with rag dampened with spray thinner 101 to remove sanding dust prior to painting topcoats. I also noticed that Wet Edge applied over this primer takes MUCH longer to cure than does Wet Edge applied to any surface other than this primer. I may wind up using the primer under the topcoat for the "diamond non-skid" portions of my deck, as it would actually be a benefit to create a little texture on those areas. But for areas that you want to be smooth as glass, this primer is a net negative step. I am planning to just apply extra coats of Wet Edge and sand more thoroughly after the first couple coats to hopefully get rid of the orange peel caused by the primer coat. Please save yourself cost and frustration, and skip this primer if applying Wet Edge over properly prepared gelcoat.
