Default Re: Primers below the waterline

TheHermit,
Sorry to say I haven't got there yet! I did buy the Interlux 2000e and talked to a couple of people that have used it. Both said it's a 2 or 3 coat process to get the recommended minimum build-up thickness, and the stuff is very toxic and stinks like h***. Instructions on the can recommend application at > 50^, and I will probably have to tent the transom and add some temporary heat (light bulbs, etc.) to get that at this time of the year. Don't like the thoughts of using a very toxic product in a tented area, so my fall back plan may be to a coat of tinted MAS slow epoxy (no blush), then get back at it with the primer in the spring (MAS says you can tint there stuff with artist's acrylic paint).
