Good work Bomber, thanks mate. Finally made sence out of this!

Now deciding whether I go through with the protec products for inner panels and the back of patch panels that require welding, or get some KBS or POR15. I need to establish how many inner panels/ patch panels I would end up having to do and which one will make my dollar go further (be able to be used and not wasted)

Cheers

if you want it to last a long long time and the repair will be exposed to moisture
then i would kbs it (you could por it but kbs is cheaper)
or put "cavity wax on what you want to protect
better still you could do a combination of the two
but these are all products you put on after painting so your paint is really your first defense against tin worm

Sticking with all non catalized products, yes thats what i would do mate.

And yeah, Etchpro is good as a weld through primer...Hence why i suggested you clean the paint off the edges you intend to weld (or mask them prior) and just blow some etchpro over the bits your going to weld.

Cheers.

Whatever etch primer you use seal it with epoxy high build undercoat afterwards, alot of people don't realize this they think that because it is a car you should use car paints. But with 30 boat restorations under my belt (and Cars) I have learnt that epoxies these days are the best for everything. Especially with sealing over any bodyfiller.
If you are using body filler on panels or fibreglass products use Cam ultra fine glazeing filler it has no shrinkage and will not leave "sink back" marks in your paint work. with cam filler you can even use it over the top of your epoxy with no problems.

norglass is one brand excellent product , and easy to use . another is hempel , although both of these see more use in the marine market, the marine epoxy is a lot superior than auto paints as it is made to withstand harsher enviroments. an excellent allrounder is protec's EPOTECH can be bought in white or black, easy to use,and very cost effective 4litres of part A 1 Litre of hardener and 4 litres of thinner used to cost me about $120.00. they should also carry the "cam" filler as well I haven't used normal bog in my business in years.

AFAIK all the above are 2k, i know for a fact the Protec product is 2k because i have used it.

This thread is specifically for single pak products, and to be frank i've never seen a good single pak epoxy hence why i suggested an Alkyd Resin.

Cheers.
