I faired the hull fairly smooth but it still needs some slight leveling at the glass seam edges where I tabbed them in, and I'm hoping the primer would finish it.
Also what would you recommend to epoxy barrier coat the bottom? I'm also probably going to add bottom paint.

Hi Dave,
The primer comes in two color bases, white and grey. There are two catalysts, finish and high build. The high build is very high build, and it will turn the white bass to a beige color. The high build could almost be called fairing primer. You can do multiple coats one after another to fill what you need, just be sure not to exceed the maximum film thickness while wet or you can get solvent entrapment (too much primer at once and the solvents in the first coat cant escape), but you have to go pretty thick to have to worry about that.
It can be rolled or sprayed, I have done both and it just depends the area Im coating which one I do.
Actually Im hoping to have time to spray my entire 26 hull with it today if I have time.
Im sure you will like the primer. Be sure to sand it within a few days or else it get HARD
