105 EPOXY RESIN is a clear pale yellow low-viscosity liquid epoxy resin. Blended with 206 Slow Hardener at a 5:1 ratio it cures to a hard solid plastic with superior physical properties. It will wet out and bond with wood fiber fiberglass reinforcing fabrics and a variety of metals. (206 Slow Hardener is not intended for clear coating.)
POT LIFE AT 72F (22C) is 20 to 25 minutes. Cures to a solid state in 10 to 15 hours. Cures to maximum strength in 1 to 4 days. Minimum recommended working temperature is 60F (16C). Does not contain VOCs and has relatively high flash point and no solvent odor making it much friendlier to use than styrenated resins.
EXCELLENT FOR COATNG OR BONDING this epoxy is easily modified with fillers pigments and additives to suit an enormous variety of construction and repair projects including fiberglass boat repair strip kayak and canoe construction. Resin viscosity is approximately 1000 centipoise at 72F (22C)
INCLUDES CALIBRATED PUMPS that dispense 105 Resin & 206 Slow Hardener at the correct 5-part resin to 1-part hardener mix ratio. One pump stroke of resin for each one pump stroke of hardener yields 0.8 fl oz of the exact 5:1 epoxy mix ratio. These durable polypropylene pumps provide years of dependable service.
Epoxy is excellent for structural bonding and fillets. It can be easily thickened with a number of fillers to modify consistency and strength.
There are two types of structural bonding that can be done with epoxy.
TWO-STEP BONDING is the preferred method for most situations because it promotes maximum epoxy penetration into the bonding surface and prevents epoxy-starved joints.
SINGLE-STEP BONDING is appropriate when joints will have minimal loads and excess epoxy absorption into porous surfaces is not a problem. In both cases epoxy bonds best when it is worked into the surface with a roller or brush.

Damage from collisions groundings the forces of nature and aging make it common for fiberglass boats to need repairs.
Effectively repairing a fiberglass boat requires a superior structural adhesive that adheres to polyester resin fiberglass wood metal and other materials.
Unlike polyester resin which can shrink from 5% to 8% creating stress concentrations at the repair joint epoxy doesnt shrink. It's also a more effective moisture barrier. Epoxy forms a tenacious mechanical bond with cured polyester and other materials in secondary bonding. Since epoxy is more durable than polyester the epoxy repair may be evenstronger than the original structure.
Ease of use ready availability safety and easy access to how-to information makes Epoxy excellent for fiberglass boat repair.
1. Start with 105 Epoxy Resin the basic ingredient of all Epoxy compounds. Use 300 Mini Pumps for convenient and accurate metering.
2. Mix with one of four hardeners. Select a hardener for its intended use and for the cure speed best suited for your job in the temperature range in which you are working.
3. Add one of six fillers to thicken the mixture as needed. Select a filler for its handling characteristics or cured physical properties. Or add additives to provide specific coating properties. pigments can be used to change the epoxy's color.
