Hi Martin,
I was going to use high build primer on my deck
paint job and the paint rep said not to use it.
Waste of money and not as good as regular primer
unless there is a lot of fairing to do. It seems
best suited for a job where minor imperfections
are needed to be filled. High build on and long
board the high spots off, repeat until perfection.
Cheers, Russ

Charlie,
I will be painting Kiwi Grip over many sq. feet
of epoxy/filler repairs completed or underway on
Calypsoâs deck. Over well cured epoxy I am
painting an epoxy based one part high build
primer. Over the primer most of the repairs
will also be covered with a two part topsides
paint. The Kiwi Grip will go over the top coat.
Over on Sailing Anarchy, in the fixit forum,
there is a contributor that sells Kiwi Grip. I
expect he would be able to confirm its
compatibility with various primers and top coat
paints. My expectation is it will cover/bond
well over most primers and paints but would
prefer not to be painted directly to un-coated epoxy.

As long as the Kiwi-Grip will stick to the
repair (if done with epoxy w fillers), I do not care.
Probably need to check with Kiwi-Grip to see if its compatible.
Thanks,
Charlie

If your going to kiwi grip it anyway, why worry about gelcoat?

I managed to crush a 2" x 4" portion of my aft deck on both sides recently.
I have cleaned out the balsa core and removed
the fiberglass/gel coat pieces on top and need
to fill it in (its about 1 inch deep) and then,
eventually, cover it with the Kiwi Grip that
was on it pre-crushing.
I have done a lot of fiberglass construction
with epoxy and thought I would mix up a batch
with some cotton fiber filler and just fill the hole.
Alternatively I could wet a bunch of fiberglass
tape I have with epoxy and then top this off with some thickened epoxy.
Then I read about gel coat repair and it says
that this won't adhere to an epoxy repair so I
maybe I should fill the holes with thickened
gel coat so that eventually some Kiwi Grip will stick to it.
I need to fill it this weekend before the balsa
core gets wet from rain, etc. although I have
put a thin coating of epoxy on the balsa to protect it temporarily.
What advice does the list have for such a repair?
TIA,
