Hi Alec,
I used an initial coat of zinc primer underneath my macropoxy 646.
i am an Industrial Contractor and usually refer these questions to my
Industrial and Marine Rep. His name is Jody Schoen and he can direct
you to the most appropriate of the 15 or so Zinc priomers that they
have available.
I do not remember which one I used.
Please mention my name, Jim Kocourek, as he will be wondering why some
one from your area of the county is calling him.
Any issues please call me at (920) 323-9200
Best Regards,
Jim K
