Marine Boat Epoxy Resin for Repairs, Construction, High Performance Coating, 2 Part epoxy kit, UV Stable, Non Yellowing, Chemical and Salt Resistant -1.5 Gallon Kit

I recently needed to replace the deck on my wooden boat, so I decided to try this reasonably priced epoxy as a test. I've been using the West System Epoxy for years, but the high prices were getting out of hand. I ended up using three gallons of this epoxy to complete the entire project. It was used for structural repairs, securing the cedar planks, and finishing the deck. The epoxy performed exceptionally well. It dried solidly, mixed smoothly with the fillers, and provided a strong, reliable bond throughout the project. The experience was straightforward and hassle-free, which made the job much easier. Best of all, I saved hundreds of dollars compared to what I would have spent on the West System Epoxy, and so far, it has held up perfectly. Given how well this epoxy worked and the significant savings, I’m definitely sticking with this brand for future projects. It’s proven to be a reliable and cost-effective alternative to the more expensive options out there.

I recently purchased this Marine Boat Epoxy Resin for a significant project on our pontoon boat. We needed a reliable, high-performance epoxy to coat the new wood flooring we installed, and this two-part epoxy kit was perfect for the job. The kit includes one and a half gallons of epoxy, and mixing the two parts together was straightforward. We applied it to the bottom of the boat, and it turned out fantastic. While the application process was a bit challenging at times, the results were well worth it. The epoxy provided a durable, smooth, and high-quality finish that exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend this epoxy resin for any marine-related repairs or construction projects. It truly delivers excellent performance and durability. Five stars for a product that delivers as promised! Feel free to adjust any details to better fit your experience.

Building an 18' Carolina dory. As a filler, I thickened this epoxy with silica, saw dust, or paper dust/carbon powder. They each worked great as a thickener and resulted in a perfect filler for screw holes and knots. I then used it straight to wet out the glass and it worked very well, just the right consistency - excellent saturation into both the wood and the glass. I mixed it in small batches and was never hurried. It cured out perfectly. The hardener is quite thin and the included pump works perfectly. The resin is a considerably thicker so I'd recommend just carefully pouring it right out of the jug. To me, much easier while saving quite a bit of time working an annoyingly slow pump. I shopped around and this was by far the best deal I could find on marine quality epoxy. I have to say that I'm very happy with the product and the results I was able to obtain with it.

This is a great purchase if you are looking to renovate your garage floors. I loved the finished work and do does my neighbors. Love it !!

I used this to seal a new floor on my boat. As the old floor was completely rotten. It's easy to use and takes a a few hours to become tacky. I did 3 coats over 4 day. Between the 2nd and final coat there was a little bit of water on the surface which made the floor extremely slippery. I mixed up 48 ounces of epoxy and added a half cup silica sand and rolled it on for the final. Turned out beautiful and the sand was just enough to keep from slipping when wet. Only down side is it scratches extremely easy. I. Probably going to add a coat of polyurethane to remove the scratches and make for a resistant surface.

I've used this epoxy a few years now mostly wood boat related, for bonding and 'glassing. It behaves just like popular name brand resins during application and after curing. The major difference is the viscosity of the two parts before mixing. The resin itself is thicker and the hardener is thinner. This makes dispensing the two parts challenging compared to leading brands. The resin part is so thick that unless heated, the usual pump system is slow and frustrating. The work around for me is to use plastic squeeze bottles (I use 6 and 12 ounce size clear kitchen style bottles) to dispense small amounts using a digital scale for measuring, and pour dirctly from the jug for larger batches.

Put 1st coat with fiberglass cloth on canoe, in 3 hours put on 2nd coat 3 hrs later put on 3rd coat. All went well. Let cure, sanded and put on final coat but the cured coat seemed to repel new coat. Spent half day sanding and tried again with same results. No phone number on epoxy for tech support. Frustrating.

I just finished using this product to completely encapsulate the new floor I'm installing in my 16' aluminum boat. Like other reviewers stated, the resin does NOT pump easily even at 80*F in my garage. I could use the pump for small pots of mix (3-4oz) but used the measuring lines on store bought mixing cups and poured my larger batches (12oz) to save my forearms. Definitely cures faster in warmer temps (70-80*F = 3-4 hours/50-60*F = 6-10 hours) Mix it well and let the bubbles rise out and you have about 15-25 minutes to do what you need. Larger pots will warm up and cure faster in the cup if you let them sit too long. Product spreads out nicely with a foam roller and soaks into fresh plywood well even without thinning. Took 3 coats about 45min to an hour apart to get a nice .8-1mm encapsulation on all of my floor pieces and several other sections of 1/2 exterior ply. Edges of ply took a 4th coat to get the thick shiny finish I was looking for as they tend to soak in more of the epoxy.
