I have a question which I've been unable to resolve. How to you properly finish a thru hull repair? My sources indicate to just apply your bottom paint over the epoxy patch. However, this seems wrong to me. After flaring and sanding the patch, there is a ring of raw fiberglass visible, between the barrier coat and the epoxy. I feel I need to apply a 2 part epoxy primer, then bottom paint. Granted, the epoxy needs no protection, and the fiberglass ring visible is only 1/2" wide, is it that simple just to layer on bottom paint and declare it finished? I'm using Interlux Micron 66 and the boat is in salt water.
