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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.)
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!
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.
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
