Love the real world testing technique. I have been using the HOK for years now solely because I do small custom paint and use mostly HOK products so I am just simply sticking to the same brand. I do love how easy it is to sand but because it is an epoxy-acrylic I always wondered how great it is for corrosion resistance. I also like how smooth it is when you reduce as recommended with 2 parts reducer for a sealer. I have noticed it is a bit thin, as your testing clearing shows so I am really interested in how your new primer holds up to the corrosion test because your primer would be a no brainer for a first coat over bare metal to block over and not have any burn-throughs. Love the videos and keep up the awesome work!
Very good information!!!. But here in my country the only primers they sell that you use in the Review are PPG CRE and VP 2050. With the PPG primers, what would be the most suitable drying time to paint and not have problems?
I've been using Sherwin Williams SU 522 spray it with a 1.4 tip and stack 4 coats it has been one of the best primers for the price I've used in a long time
@@ojscustoms9251 I think it is. My PPG rep told me when I first started using the 2050 that it was a primer in the industrial line they tweaked and put into the Vibrance line. I t might be the CRE. Not sure if they're identical or not.
we did not re test 2050 because we have tested it and we have the results from that test. roughly 7 mils dry film build and 3 days to stop shrinking. a true 52% solids product. where as our new primer is a true 77% solids and stops shrinking in 24 hrs with better adhesion than 2050.
@@linearblockingtools4064 Any pricing available yet on the Linear primer? And will it be on the website? How are the sanding characteristics? Thanks for any info.
Paint is measured in MILS of thickness. 1 mil is equal to a thousandth of an inch. So 4mils would be 0.004" thick... Or that linear primer he is testing out measures out at 17mils which would be 0.017" thick.
@@TheInsaneShecklador I mean he has to be in collaboration with someone. I doubt he has a manufacturing lab in his body shop. Same with his sandpaper etc.... Nothing wrong with that by any means.
that is a bit of a secret, as is the recipe. but i can tell you the 2 chemists we work with on this product have over 50 years combined experience developing products for the automotive and aero industries
No, because you don’t have mil thickness like that in the real world. This is a real world “puck” on a panel, as thick as it is supposed to be. Same concept, far more accurate

Great test! I used All U Need on my last car 12 years ago, so far so good.

Surprised to not see the VP2050 even though you've tested it before. Any pricing yet on the Linear primer?
Isn't the CRE the same primer just available in black? Both PPG products.

Do you mean .644mm? As 6.44 mills is quarter of an inch thick, great video

no, mils is a unit of paint thickness measurement. one mil is nearly .001"
Wow your product won by a country mile. Basically eliminating every other product from the market. What now?
now we start producing it! 😎
who makes the linear epoxy primer?
In an earlier vid he mentions that's his own primer he's currently developing.

@@linearblockingtools4064 I'll be very interested in the pricing and availability of it.
I'll stick with SPI
Are you saving the pucks from the left overs on these products to compare? I'd be interested in seeing the Linear puck compared to the SPI.
