Re: Weave still showing

Steve is right on. The paint will actually accentuate the weave pattern by hi-lighting the pattern. I found 3 flow coats of epoxy, sand, then one more flow coat worked very well. I would also not use a primer coat but just paint directly onto the epoxy. I see they are now selling an interlux brand primer, but when I built my boat they were selling a different brand and anywhere the primer is the paint does not stick very well, but where it is on the epoxy it is fine.

If I had to fill, I would mix up some microballoons with epoxy and apply it by squeegeeing (sp?) it on with a razor blade for scratches or dings, or a spreader for bigger areas. Microballoons are harder to sand then primer, but not that much and a lot more durable.
