Review: Great primer - I’m able to add a layer of protection with confidence
Review: Never again - Never again... Wanted to prep and paint the two halves of my center console helm. Read reviews and watched videos. That on top of my being fairly experienced with marine fiberglass and paint work. Opened the prime and mixed thoroughly. As per the instructions I reached for a brush to work right out of the can... Big big big mistake. This stuff I assume can only be rolled and that with a minimum of 10% thinning. It would have been nice had the instructions even hinted that these two steps are required. The result was horrible with deep brushstrokes. I should have quit after first 4 brush strokes but assumed it would flatten upon drying. Ha! Next dait looked like crap! Though 48 hours later I could sand it smooth. Ha again. The stuff was not nearly dry. Like mud. Unbelievable. Called the tech line to hear that it must be thinned and rolled. Imagine that. Was told the first coats need to be ultrathin to the point of transparency. Wow wish that had been in the directions. A week later I just spent the last 8 hours grinding it all off. And don't try anything short of 40 grit. Even that clogs in minutes. 15 discs later I am done with the only positive being that sanding does not produce dust. It comes off like grains of sand. First time I ever spent that length of time with a sander and did not have to dust off pants after. Weird stuff... Anyway such was my experience. I share it here in the hope that thinning and rolling transparent coats will produce a better outcome. But I leave that to someone else to discover. As for me I got my money back from desertcart no questions asked.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would i have to add a thinner to brush it on smoother?**
A: I bought the thinner and did NOT need it for a smooth and shiny application. It is a slow cure/dry process and self levels pretty nicely.

**Q: Can I use this primer and the topside paint on the hull of a wood and canvas canoe?**
A: No.  You'll need a flexible paint.  Contact TotalBoat and ask if there is an additive you could use.  The Automotive world has such an additive for painting the flexible bumper covers with enamel.

**Q: Can this product be used on concrete?**
A: It probably can, although I would probably choose a product that was intended for concrete

**Q: Can it be used on bare cast iron?**
A: I really don't know but I would imagine that it would.  We used it on  bare treadplate and it worked very well - even better than I expected. After one year of heavy use, it still looks good.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Not So Good
*by G***G on 5 August 2026*

Very Thick for a quick drying primer. Hard to put down thin with a brush. Acts more like a finish enamel. Guess I trusted TotalBoat brand. Not happy. Will try a second coat.
