I just tried to lay down the poly primer with foam and nylon roller covers, and it failed miserably. I ended up using a brush, but it didn't lay down at all. I followed the instructions thinned at 5% to no avail.
Says 200 square feet coverage per can of polyurethane. Thats 14'×14' square. Have my doubts if it took a can to do that little dingy. Probably only 6'×6'
Great instructions and videography. Abominable background music (much as I love the Doors). You might consider redoing this video for a more professional presentation.
If I buy your paints, I don't want to be locked into having to buy your high priced mystery cleaner/ solvent as well. I would like the choice of buying a generic cleaner such as Mineral spirits, Acetone, Xylene, etc. Hiding the chemicals in your proprietary cleaner only makes me mad as hell. This is a form of extortion that will steer me right away from all your products. Its a pity because your products are excellent. But I will NOT BE HELD HOSTAGE TO A GODDAMN SOLVENT!
there is no way that is really epafanes paint they are using in that video i just tried epifanes paint on my boat and ill never use it again it wont cover it runs the only way its usable is if u do layers so thin that u can see through them and do at least four coats of primer and four coat of paint i would never recomend this product to anyone
For a paint that cost $130.00 per 750ml can (in Canada) it would be nice for a more detailed video on thinning to specific temp, coverage for different sized boats, etc.
Can I use a two component epoxy filler in between the sanding and the final finish coat? I have some little pits and scratches that didn’t get filled with paint, I want to fill them after sanding the primer coat.
High schoolers could have done a better job at making this video. Plus I see that you don't bother to answer anybody's questions here in the comments. Maybe high schoolers would be a better choice than you people to do both.
Hi I'm using epifanes yacht enamel thinned at 10% but I'm still getting orange peel, but I desire a glass finish, it's 14°C, here in the UK... Would adding a little easy flow help to reduce flash time, I'm finding it flashes in seconds almost instantly, thinned at 5% it left a lot of holidays curtains and orange peel. I'm only using epifanes products and working very quickly. I also used a test board and found 10% to be the optimum result. Anymore and the blue colour starts becoming translucent and wants to curtain on me. I found if I apply too thinly the flash time is even faster. I'd like improve and be able to apply glass like coatings to both my own and other people's boats... (with dreams of becoming an epifanes sponsored pro) Any tips for getting that last coat to flow out like glass when using alkyd yacht enamel?
how is the poly urethane strength wise compared to the epifanes mon urethane? I have my boat in the epifanes mono urethane for a number of years now, but it can scratch pretty easy in my opinion. It also developed some cracks in the paint now after i think 5 years of it being on. So i was thinking maybe the poly urethane wil stay on longer? It is a steel boat, so i want the paint to cover it as good as it can because i dont want rust on it.
What is the mixing ratio for spraying and is the thinning for spraying needed? Also what tip do you recommend a 1.4 or 1.2? If you can let me know just ordered a few gallons of paint from you guys and plan on putting it on the boat soon. Also will a normal paint suit/ cap and respirator be good enough or do I need to use a positive pressure unit like imron?
I've heard that 2 part paint is no longer availablr in Canada. Is this true for your product? I haven't used your paint yet, but your varnish is my first choice.
This is a Fantastic Video... Great Information... Beautiful Results... ... but.. the background (noise) music was distracting, unnecessary, & annoying... We just want to hear YOU talk... Thank you for sharing this great video.
Never use bare cardboard for mixing. The surface will soak up components from either component and therefore corrupt your mixture. Put some masking tape on the cardboard first.

Great video will this polyurethane work on aluminum boats also?
What’s the thickness of one coat of primer?
Awesome video. Purchasing thanks to this.
dumb question but how do you measure 7 percent of paint thinner
Nice lil boat! I want one too but it is expensive for me now.
Thx.. like it, is that a '57 Panel in the background
would it work on Polystyrene materials?

it says on the can that this product is not for below the water line? why are you painting below the waterline?
Because a dinghy does not live in the water. It is only below the waterline for brief periods; which is okay for this application.
How much paint do you load the brush with for tipping?
So, if there is a repair to do on this later, how easy is it to patch a repair in and does it blend nice or can you not do that?
@Kade Brendan You two again?... SMH

people are busy my guy? go get a life 😂
This taint solutions, poly urethane, can be aplly over epoxy lamination repairs? Thank you so much!
I'm interested in this for a small carbonfiber hull. Can you get glass like finishes with wet sanding and buffing after two coats of color?

Does the thinner help in the self-leveling? What about buffing the final product to get a glass finish?
What brand of foam roller did you use? Is this an epoxy primer?
In one of their replies they say they use a fine foam Moltopren roller.

How tough it this paint? Can it be used for other applications? Specifically....can I paint my tractor with it?
Take a look on Sigma Coating paints.
Without a problem!
Tell us more about the foam roller, (8:05)

Pathetic job... but Epifane SOOO forgiving....
Thanks for the info.....but no way could I work with all that crappy music in the background
@@hairband80s69 I like the music and it could be much worse lol
Nice job
Which color by number is this?
I got an email respons from epifanes and it’s number 879.
Which color is used? Number 875 maybe?!
No boat shop is complete without classic rock on the radio. Good job guys! Man, I miss painting.
watching that first guy try his hand at painting was painful to watch. It seemed he had informational overload and didn't retain anything as a result.

Where do you get the rollers that don’t fall apart
They say they use a fine foam Moltopren roller.
From the 'Rollers That Don't Fall Apart Shop' 😜😜😜
That's very nice. Can you feed this paint (and primer) into an airbrush pistol ? Or you have to use the roller ?
unless you are in a in a 72 degree area need to sand with 1000 then buff and keep a bug netting up too before painting
wet sand and buff after works great
Change the station??? Try working to that type of music and maybe you can get something done. Good music to work to

do you have a video how to repair scratches?
THX for showing ...

Why not spray it?
Do you have a product you sell that you recommend for a Aluminum bass boat? I plan on just painting over the paint that is already there.
I wish they would change the radio station.

bullshit, it doens't absorb enough to make any noticeable difference. The mixture doesn't need to be perfect down to the last atom.
BS old wives tale. Ive been doing bodywork and painting show cars for 27 years.
