This week we're setting up to prime the bottom of our TotalBoat Sport Dory. We applied TotalFair to the bottom and first garboard plank and then scraped and sanded it to make sure we have a nice fair surface for our primer. The surface must first be prepped and wiped down with TotalBoat reducer. For this project we're going to use TotalBoat 2-Part Epoxy Primer, a 1:1 mix that needs 30 minutes for induction before application. When the primer is ready we pour it into a small rolling tray and then roll it directly onto the bottom. It's going to be used above and below the waterline and will aggressively adhere to the bottom so we have a good surface to apply our TotalBoat Wet Edge paint. Once the Epoxy Primer has dried we need to sand the surface before applying any additional coats. We're also going to attach a skeg to the aft part of the bottom in order to help the Dory track better in a straight line. Stay tuned for that and more in our next Episode.
