You can learn more about this product by searching under "Industrial
Coatings" + "M33" as that is the label BM sell their industrial stuff
under (duh!). Lots of good products, and all available at any BM dealer.
M-28, designed to go directly onto metal (DTM), or onto most primers,
and used in factories, dairys, water treatment plants etc. is an
excellent topcoat for anyone willing to use latex.....

Bolgerados,
After finally laying down 3 layers of 10 oz FG on the bottom
and 4 layers of 10 oz FG on the shoe/boxkeel along with endless hours
of fun sanding, I applied 2 coats of barrier coat/primer to the
bottom of WINDERMERE. It is truly amazing how what I once always saw
as a "big" bottom has suddenly shrunk in size! I do not know what it
is but perhaps seeing all the different shades or tones of the
various bottom elements tricked my eye into seeing more then there
really is? At any rate,now that the entire bottom is one juicy
uniform colour..........it looks so small!
Some of you may recall that some time ago I asked about
suggestions for a high build primer. Well,after shopping around and
asking local builders what they use,I think I have found a winner. It
is a polyamide epoxy primer from Benjamin Moore (product number
M33/M34). The amazing thing with this primer is that it appears to be
almost exactly the same"formulation" as Interlux Barrier Coat but
way,way cheaper. In fact,it was only $126.00 CAN for a 2
gallon"kit"(385 sq.ft./gal coverage). The stuff is a 1:1 ratio mix
and requires a 30 minute induction period. In both consistancy and
God aweful toxic smell it ressembles the Interlux Barrier Coat and
applies just as well.My first 2 coats went on"back to back" without
waiting for the first coat to cure. Amazingly,I could actually see
the mils of the second coat! I now have to wait before applying the
third and final coat and give the works a sanding. On a test sample,
this product sanded right down to a glass like finish........again
just like the Interlux product.Truly amazing and a breeze to sand
with 100 weight paper.The builders I spoke to who have used this
product all have nothing but high praise for this products
performance and incredible toughness.
The nifty thing about this product,is that it is intended for
priming....STEEL...in heavy duty industrial settings! Aye matey...a
bullet proof coating system to go over your epoxy coated dream
machine which,one hopes,will never be subjected to the abuses common
to most industrial settings.And provides"excellent adhesion for
supporting high performance top coat systems".
So there you have it, an inside scoop on a product that cost
little compared to the"marine" stuff but is every bit as good(if not
better) at providing a barrier coat for your epoxy coated boat.Water
will take forever to get through to the underlaying wood now!! :-)

October without too much rain so that I can get my hull panels and
