Awesome stuff! I thinned my second batch a tiny bit more and it gave a beautiful smooth (primer) finish.

I have used this for many years, most important is metal prep or it will not stay stuck.

EP-420 GREEN EPOXY QT KIT

November 1, 2022

Im sure the product was in good shape at time of shipping and due to the way it was packaged three out of the four containers were damaged from being dropped. I had to transfer liquid to other containers so to avoid leaking.

Q: What is the pot life for this epoxy green primer? Does it age and crack?

The maximum pot life of the epoxy green primer is 7 hours at 70 degrees F. Discard materials when viscosity increases or becomes stringy between the fingers. There is no tech data sheet that says if it ages or cracks but this particular epoxy primer will not shrink like a polyester primer would.

Q: What does the gallon kit of Stits Epoxy Primer actually consist of? It does not give the sizes of the base, catalyst, and reducer in the description.

The kit components are as follows:

  • 1 x Part # 09-05610: STITS # EP-420 GREEN GALLON
  • 2 x Part # 09-05620: EP-430 EPOXY CATALYST QUART
  • 1 x Part # 09-01108: E-500 EPOXY REDUCER GALLON

Q: Can you apply this over [or to seal] zinc chromate on older plane frames to ensure youre compatible with the Poly-Fiber polyester products?

The answer is yes. All one needs to do is (clean, waiting long enough for the surface to dry) scuff and shoot.

Q: Is this considered polyepoxamide primer?

Yes, but that it is not structural in nature.

Q: Can you confirm that Stits epoxy primer does not contain polyisocyanides and it can be safely sprayed with a quality filtered respirator?

Epoxy primer does NOT contain any isocyanates and it can be sprayed with a cartridge respirator that has organic vapor cartridges.

Q: What is the color shade of the green primer?

Dark green in color.
