What this video covers
The owners of a catamaran, Mister Tong, are applying epoxy primer to the hull in preparation for a Coppercoat antifouling application.4:47 Working over several days, the crew sands and primes the exterior hull, including the transoms and boarding handles.1:14 They utilize small, thin-foam rollers with composite cores, which they find effective for applying the primer without runs or excessive material waste.7:41 The team manages the project around unstable weather, timing their painting sessions to allow for curing before rain showers.17:57 They prioritize priming all areas intended for Coppercoat, noting that the primer must cure for four to five days in the current heat before the final antifouling can be applied.16:46 The crew tracks their progress by volume on a scale to ensure consistent mixing and monitors the hull for surface imperfections, performing spot repairs and sanding as needed.8:27 By the end of the work period, the exterior hull surfaces are primed and ready for the final coating process.23:15
