![]() ![]() (If this epoxy is mixed by weight, the ratio is 6.3 grams of epoxy to 1 gram of hardener.) Excess hardener / catalyst will not accelerate cure time, and it can reduce the strength of the cured epoxy. The nominal variation in proportioning the two components is 10 percent. Example: 5 level spoonfuls of epoxy resin to 1 level spoonful of hardener. Marine-Tex is a high-strength structural epoxy, designed for convenient proportioning and mixing - by volume - in a ratio of 5 parts epoxy resin to 1 part catalyst/hardener. Sand area, then remove grit to improve adhesion. Remove all contaminants (dirt, oil, grease) with acetone or lacquer thinner. Surface preparation is the key to epoxy adhesion. Wear rubber or vinyl gloves and eye protection. The temperature of the work area must be at least 55☏, and this minimum temperature must be maintained for 24 hours while the epoxy cures. Read instructions on labels or instruction sheets inserted in packaged kits. Most common acids, alkalies and hydrocarbons.īoth White and Gray – 4,000 PSI (280 Kg/Cm 2)īefore starting project, store Marine-Tex at 70☏ for ease of mixing and application. It is not recommended to apply the product in temperatures below 55F. Lower temperatures will create longer cure times. (A lump of material, or higher temperatures, may generate a 15 – 20 minute working time due to the heat the epoxy creates within itself.)Ĭure Time: 24 hours at a constant temperature of 72F. Pot Life (Working Time): At 72F, 30 minutes if mixed and spread thin across mixing board. ![]() (When mixing by weight, the ratio is 6.3 parts resin to 1 part hardener.) Always keep the epoxy at room temperature before mixing.Ĭonsistency of Mixed Expoxy: Thick, creamy no-sag putty, easily applied. Mixing Ratio: 5 parts epoxy resin to 1 part hardener - by volume. Maximum applied thickness is 1 1/2 inches. Packaging: Marine-Tex White and Gray are available in convenient kits, 2 oz., 14 oz., quart and gallon.Ĭoverage: For 2 oz. Marine-Tex is resistant to water and many chemicals. Marine-Tex is an excellent choice for repairing problem areas located below the waterline. Marine-Tex is a heavy-duty structural epoxy, used to repair aluminum, fiberglass and wooden boats, reinstall loose or stripped fasteners, permanently bond dissimilar metals without galvanic corrosion, and fill gouges in wood, metal and fiberglass, making repaired areas stronger than before. Be sure to use only a small amount of coloring agent (no more than 5% of the total volume of epoxy.) Marine-Tex White can be tinted with ITW Fibre-Glass Evercoat’s coloring agents for fiberglass and wood applications. Marine-Tex Gray is recommended for machinery repairs. Marine-Tex can be sanded or ground to shape, tapped and drilled, and finished with most common paints and coatings. Emergency and permanent repairs to machinery and equipment, hulls, decks, stripped fasteners, piping and tanks are all easily accomplished with the mighty repair kit. Marine-Tex paste provides waterproof repairs that can be used with fiberglass tape or cloth to bridge holes and reinforce structural repairs as needed. Marine-Tex is a creamy paste consistency that can be applied on vertical or horizontal surfaces, easily fills gaps, and can be shaped to rebuild damaged components. Marine-Tex is manufactured to the highest standards to meet the harsh demands of the marine and industrial environments, and solve many problems for home, auto and hobby applications. Marine-Tex is the legendary high-strength repair compound designed for filling, bonding and rebuilding wood, fiberglass, ceramic, glass, metal, masonry and many plastics. ![]()
