Tuff Stuff High Build Epoxy Primer Superior Blister Prevention & Repair 1284, 1285 Highest Build Epoxy Primer Extremely Durable Easy Application, Longer Windows Fewer Coats Needed Features and Benefits Product Description Tuff Stuff is an extremely high-build two-part epoxy primer that dries fast, enabling application of a complete barrier system and bottom paint in just two days. Using microsheet silicate technology, millions of microscopic sheets overlap and build a 100% water barrier that protects the surface from moisture and water penetration. Tuff Stuff is effective for blister prevention on fiberglass, or as a bilge coating, because it is resistant to oil and water. As a universal primer, it can be used for corrosion protection on most metals below the waterline, and for priming any metal. Tuff Stuff creates an overlapping barrier to eliminate any direct path for water migration. Use over blistered fiberglass as a repair coat, and over unblistered fiberglass as a barrier coat. Protects metals from corrosion, including: aluminum, bronze, stainless steel, cast iron and lead – above and below the waterline. Excellent for priming props, shafts, keels, trim tabs, thru hulls and lower units Highest build epoxy – Fewer coats needed Longer window between coats makes Tuff Stuff easy to use Reduced labor and less haul out time Application Controls Product Information Colors: Light Gray-1284, White- 1285 Finish/Sheen: Matte Volume Solids: 52% +\- 2% Available Sizes: 1/2 Gallon Kit (2 quarts), 2 Gallon Kit (2 gallons) Shipping Weight: 25 Lbs./2 Gallon Kit Method: This product may be applied by airless and conventional spray, solvent resistant rollers and brushes.

(Exception: Overcoating with a water-based coating: see Tech Bulletin TSWB-1284) An easy rule in epoxies is when the coating is dry to the touch, yet still has some tack, it is ready to be over coated. (Thumb print without lifting any epoxy.) However, if the coating is completely cured (or after 24 hours) it needs to be thoroughly sanded with 80 grit sand paper to remove shine, or you must apply another coat of Tuff Stuff within 6 days, no longer. Then you have an additional 24 hour maximum to overcoat with antifouling paint. Tuff Stuff immersion should minimum of 24 Hours after application.
