Hello,

Can anyone recommend any alternatives to 2k paints / primers and fillers for sealing bucks etc.  Is seems 1k systems will be problematic with bonding / mould releasing but 2k looks like evil stuff to work with and prohibitive cost wise for me due to the H&S kit required (3 stage filters for breatheable air supplies, secondary compressor, air fed mask etc..).

Is 1k completely off limit or is it just that it's hit-and-miss to avoid problems?

i know it is totally hillbilly--but you can mix two component primers and use a foam roller to apply..
just sand it smooth after it is cured and you would be fine.
use no reduction (do not thin it) just primer and catalyst. roll on several medium coats and let it almost dry between coats.

and it does work !!


Hi Brasco
Us Canadian Hillbilly's have an even cruder way of applying 2 part epoxy primer surfacer. I mix it up like you described and then simply brush it on nice and thick with a cheap chip brush. It works great, sort of like a brushable body filler. Once I have the pits all filled and sanded flat I then spray on a good smooth layer.
Can't argue with results.
