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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We discovered that our Epifanes Poly-urethane has such a good self-leveling characteristic, that we can achieve mirror-like finishes with rolling alone. Check out our Instagram page for some great examples - in particular the '57 Chevy panel delivery truck. That was rolled-only, too. (We also use a fine foam "Moltopren" roller, which also plays an important part.)
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.
Hi David...no reason why not. One of the benefits of rolling (no tipping required) is that you wind up with measurably more mil per coat. In other words, more paint gets onto the surface, which enhances the paint job's durability. Let us know if you paint the Viking.
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
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.
Tell us more about the foam roller, (8:05)
No boat shop is complete without classic rock on the radio. Good job guys! Man, I miss painting.
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
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.
That's very nice.
Can you feed this paint (and primer) into an airbrush pistol ? Or you have to use the roller ?
Great video will this polyurethane work on aluminum boats also?

Why not spray it?

Which color is used? Number 875 maybe?!
How much paint do you load the brush with for tipping?
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.
Does the thinner help in the self-leveling? What about buffing the final product to get a glass finish?
dumb question but how do you measure 7 percent of paint thinner

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?
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
would it work on Polystyrene materials?
No tipping off?
Looks amazing for no tipping! You weren’t left with any air bubbles at all?
Brandon Hoo I hardly tip anymore foam roller then second pass back roll knocks bubbles out
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
do you have a video how to repair scratches?
No link to Purchase?
Look above ...
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!

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.
It looks fantastic 👍
This taint solutions, poly urethane, can be aplly over epoxy lamination repairs? Thank you so much!
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.
Change the station??? Try working to that type of music and maybe you can get something done. Good music to work to
THX for showing ...
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' 😜😜😜
How come you didn't roll and tip?

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.
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.
Nice job
Why couldn't I use this in a hydrostream Viking speedboat?

Epifanes N.A. Which color is used in the clip? 875?
Awesome video. Purchasing thanks to this.
wet sand and buff after works great

You know... there are pills for that. Or a pet?

people are busy my guy?
go get a life 😂
I wish they would change the radio station.
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
Pathetic job... but Epifane SOOO forgiving....
