    question can you use wattyl epinamel hb primer under the waterline and if so can you paint an epoxy copper antifoul onto the surface or would it be better to paint the epoxy copper mix directly onto the (Qcell + epoxy) faired hull, has anyone been down this road.


    regards

    I think it's best to ask the supplier/manufacturer of the paint. He is in a much better position to answer that question than we are.

    Best of luck

    No - I'm not a sales rep - not even connected to the firm - but have found them very helpful in the past.
