<<Don't try to put on thick coats of latex paint. Brush them out as thin
as you can.>>
There was an unfortunate time in my life when I had to paint two large
houses, inside, within a year's time. I learned a thing or two about
latex paint, I can tell you.
Admittedly, that was thirty years ago, and I'm sure the chemistry has
changed a lot since then. But what I learned was that the most
effective application of latex was to roll out the first coat as thin as
I could get it. Then apply the second coat generously (not so's it
runs, of course), and voila!, one great looking finished product.
The thin first coat is all the second coat needs....and there's the
savings in paint, as well. The same theory should apply to latex on
boats as well as walls.
I hope this isn't too obvious to the esteemed gathering here. I just
felt I had the chance to make all that work amount to something!

The original KILZ® was shellac-based. There is also a water-based
version that is what Gougeon tested when they found that latex
primers
work well on even incompletely-cured epoxy, though not recommended.
To get the full advantage of latex paint use latex primers.
Oil-based
primers have all the disadvantages of oil paints.
Don't try to put on thick coats of latex paint. Brush them out as
thin as you can.
