TotalProtect Epoxy Barrier Coat System Kits Provide Greater Value for the Same High-Quality Barrier Coat Performance as More Expensive Marine Epoxy Primers. High-Build, Flexible Epoxy Barrier Coat Prevents Water Absorption and Migration from Causing Costly Damage to Fiberglass/Gelcoat Hulls, Keels, Props, and Other Underwater Metals. A barrier coat is recommended on fiberglass boats as a watertight primer applied before application of bottom paint. TotalBoat TotalProtect is a heavy-duty, epoxy-based barrier coat and primer preferred by professionals to prevent water intrusion from creating blisters in gelcoat & fiberglass. It also acts as a tie-coat to help any coatings applied over it adhere as strongly as possible. And it protects underwater metals from damage. Compatible with all paints. For maximum adhesion, recoat or overcoat when the surface is thumbprint tacky. Overcoating times vary based on temperature & humidity. The "thumbprint test" lets you know when to begin overcoating. For this simple test, press your thumb gently into the primer. If you leave a thumbprint, but don't see paint on your thumb, TotalProtect is ready to overcoat. To begin, apply the first coat of TotalProtect. After 45 minutes, do the thumbprint test. If not ready, check again every 15 minutes. The Number of Coats Needed Depends on How You Apply TotalProtect. To Create a Watertight Barrier, it Takes a Minimum of 10 Mils Dry Film Thickness (DFT). Beware of competing products claiming to create an effective barrier coat with just 2 coats, as all application methods do not lay down the barrier coat at the same mil thickness per coat. Sprayer type, brush type, & roller cover thickness all make a difference in mil thickness per coat. Regardless of application method 8-12 mils DFT is key. Easy to Apply by Brushing, Rolling, or Spraying APPLICATION: Use a brush (natural bristle), roller (3/16" nap or foam solvent-safe cover is best) or spray (airless, conventional, or HVLP). Mil thickness/number of coats for rolling depends on the roller cover: 4-5 coats (3/16" roller) - BEST3-4 coats (1/4" roller)2-3 coats (3/8" roller) THINNING: TotalProtect is thick & typically needs thinning.

Even our favorite products, the ones we'd come to rely on, had room for improvement. It'd be nice if they could hold up longer, cure faster, coat better, apply easier, and—since we all know boat ownership creates a mini maelstrom in your pocket—cost less. Created from years of extensive boat knowledge working with local builders, makers, and DIY-ers, our innovative marine-grade products are used in thousands of applications.
