TotalBoat vs Awl Grip...We Switched Primers - And We Can TELL!! (MJ Sailing - Ep 278)
MJ Sailing
Sailing the world to see the world! We're a couple of high school sweethearts in our late 30's that have been on the move for 9 years; creating videos of the ups, the downs, our triumphs and our trials. After circumnavigating the North Atlantic in our last boat Serendipity, (1989 Sabre Targa 34), we took on a 2 year complete refit of our new boat Elements of Life - a custom aluminum 37' monohull. After sailing her to the Arctic, we sold her in 2020 to begin our newest project of building a 42 ft catamaran.

Because of supply issues, we had to switch our high build primer…and our results were not what we were hoping for.
After months and months of fairing, we have some very exciting footage to bring you, and that is because we are on to our next section of priming!!
Although we have most of the guest hull faired (with the exception of the aft berth) we were waiting until we could do one large spray before moving onto the next step. That and….we couldn’t refill our order of high build primer.
Unfortunately for us, TotalBoat is not currently producing their high build primer, and after months of waiting for it to get stocked again, we finally had to switch over to Awl Grip. We’re using this in virgin priming areas, such as the guest hull. Starting in the v-berth, we wanted to see how it would work out for us.
Coming out of the mixer thinner, we were excited, but it just didn’t seem to be spraying on well. An issue with the primer, or our gun? It was later determined our gun was not spraying well, but when it came time to sand we found out that TotalBoat wins hands down.
Either way…we’re making progress forward and our fairing time is nearly at a close!
