Geeze, I hope you all don't think that I'm a knuckle draggin' moron, but you lost me at CPES. What's that?

Clear penetrating epoxy sealer. Somewhere, the system three web site "epoxy book" perhaps, suggests this may not be a good topcoat, though I forget why.

Just a guess George, but i would say it is just too watery for a top coat.

The "epoxy book" available through System Three's site claims that "penetrating" epoxies contain a solvent and consequently have poor strength and, more concerningly, poor moisture resistance. Of course they are hardly an objective resource and it seems to me that the moisture resistance of their Clear Coat product isn't all it's cracked up to be either, at least when mixed by weight in small quantities. Go figure.

I'm in the same boat as BBJ, I know nothing about CPES.
How is it to work with, any fumes ?? Did anyone use this stuff last year, and if so how did the paint hold up ?

For a sealer.I use the sb-112 It's made for surfboards an makes a tough as hell plug..i heat em up so it soaks in..It's a PITA thats why I have all these turned plugs to do..I also prime an sand to take out any imperfections to me thats what primer is all about.A sandable base coat that u can build an sand.I don't worry when I go too deep on the last sanding as i use a opaque white or black as a base coat when I paint em..I generally end up with 2 coats of primer that are sanded down to a very thin layer.I think keeping the paint layers thin will add to the durablity of the finish.I have this hard plug then a hard top coat the last thing I want is to have a big buildup of soft paints in between..
