    Does anyone have a tried and true method of prepping an epoxy hull prior to applying Duratec VE fairing primer? Had a few problems in the past and need to know if anyone has used this material over epoxy and has some history afterwards. (peeling /checking).. Thanks in advance, Chris

    I've never used the Duratec primer but awlgrip (U.S. paints) 545 works well. Its a two part 1:1 epoxy primer that sands like butter. Just block or DA the hull to 150 and your ready to go. Just make sure you sand every square inch!
