In Response To: Epoxy: Primer for epoxy? (Craig Robinson)

: Hi All,
: I am seeking answers regarding painting over epoxy.

: Firstly, a mate of mine is thinking about repainting his epoxy
: surfboard and I have l laminated some timber to make a step
: tread for my staircase. It will be painted with an acrylic house
: paint.

: Is some sort of primer required for these projects?

: Regarding the surfboard, I suggested that he could paint the
: lightly sanded board with a marine paint, as I use polyurethane
: directly on my kayaks. No primer required.

: Any thoughts?

Interlux carries a two-part primer for epoxy. I've never used it, so I can't comment.
