Archived from groups: rec>boats>building (more info?)

I've got small hair cracks at fillet between the deck surface and
cabin side. It happened because there is a lot of putty with no
fiberglass layer on the top on it. It is painted with epoxy primer
(heavy coat) only. I like to add one or two layers of fiberglass using
epoxy. The deck, side cabin and the putty are polyester based.
My question is: should I sand the surface completely out of primer or I
can apply epoxy/fiberglass on the top of primer?
Thanks in advance
Adam

I've wondered about the same question when building cabinetry. It's be a
big time-saver to pre-prime sheets of plywood. I asked the Interlux tech
people and they were not willing/able to say that their 404/414 primer
(which is epoxy based) had any structural properties. Maybe the Gougeon
people might have an opinion. Let us know what you find out.

If you sand off the primer, you know it will work. If you don't sand it
off, it may not. It's your call, but I'd suggest breaking out the sander.
