Was just on the phone with Brent.... clearing up some order issues... and
asked him what MAM was using these days.... since EP 420/430 is getting
financially rediculous this side of the border and this is what he just sent
me. Wayne

Being an old painter type I feel I have to toss in my two bits here. Most if
not all suitable primers on the market now will require the use of fresh air
equipment. Manufacturers erring on the side of safety are recommending
nothing but. I think your people out there may find it very hard to procure
the polyfiber primer. They will no longer ship this product to us (We are a
distributor) Our volumes on the 420 and 430 are not high and the DG shipping
on this is prohibitively expensive. A quart that would retail out the door
at $53.50 Canadian for the primer and $22.80 for a pint of the catalyst (Mfg
suggested retail) end up costing close to $108 and $50 respectively when you
add in the DG shipping costs to us. I personally find that a little hard to
swallow knowing what it is retailed for across the border, but you can't
expect any retailer up here to swallow that kind of a cost. Here we use
either Pacific Endura 2 part urethane primer EP2C pt A and B or the Sherwin
Williams CM0483660 Pt A and CM0120888 Pt B (Gallon part numbers). I have
personally used both and they do the job very well. The Endura product is
about $30 a gallon cheaper and is available in quart quantities, you should
be able to pick up this product at Acklands. I am pretty sure that the
Sherwin product will be available there, but believe that it can only be
purchased in gallons, and at this size it comes very close to $200 Canadian
for the kit. If I come across anything else in my daily searches I will let
you know.

Subject: Re: Zinc Chromate
One thing that would be nice IMO is a pimer that is slow dry/cure. It
seems
EP-420 is better than some (such as the NAPA rattle can etch/primer -- aka
Martin Senour i think). Basically, when wanting to assemble parts with
wet
primer, it would be nice to have a lot of time before it hardens. I've
made
some parts where I put on a layer of chromate and clecoed almost every
hole
so that things would cure flat and flat, and allow time to rivet later.
As
well, I keep a rattle can handy for quick spots where spraying is eaiser
than
the little brush.
Brian@Murphy had once mentioned a primer from Sherwin-Williams. Anyone
know
