Boat epoxy and paint sanding

[jnagraves]

14' Aluminume v hull. Plan to strip down to bare aluminum. Epoxy with Interlux InterProtect 2000E Epoxy Primer. About 4 Coats. Then below water line use Interlux Trilux 33, Pacifica Plus, or Micron CF. Topside use Interlux Perfection.

Question, do I need to sand each coating of epoxy? Last layer of Epoxy for paint? Or no sanding required.

Thanks

There is a window of time where no sanding is needed. It should be on the can. Once it is past that point it must be allowed to fully dry and be sanded.

Paint i use it is a hour. Once the hour has past it has to dry 24 hours and be sanded.
