Unique two-part liquid Git Rot Epoxy saturates and restores original strength to wood by penetrating the rot. Wood must be dry for application. Apply by injecting \"Git\" Rot Epoxy into the wood.

This will expose the necessary end grain and provide reservoirs for the penetration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn areas where sections of rot contain extensive holes where wood fibers are actually missing, it is recommended to mix sawdust with Git Rot Epoxy and use it as a fill material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn areas such as transoms, stringers, and balsa core decking, drilling thru the fiberglass surface may be necessary. For transom repairs, you may drill vertically down through the transom, and then pour in Git Rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor decking, drill through the surface to treat the wood underneath. Holes left by drilling may be filled with a mixture of dry saw dust and Git Rot or a marine repair epoxy compound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApplication\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fastest and most efficient way to apply Git Rot epoxy is into the end grain of the wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo avoid trapping air in the middle of the rot, always start at one end or on one surface and work progressively along.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContinue until complete saturation is achieved. *This is determined when the reservoir holes fill and remain filled, and the surface remains shiny\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProperly applied, Git Rot solidifies into a tough resilient mass overnight.

BoatLife Git Rot Penetrating Epoxy Kit is designed to penetrate and restore dry-rotted wood without requiring removal of the rotted fibers. It can be used for rot repairs in transoms, stringers, and cabin roofs on fiberglass and wood boats. The epoxy saturates the wood through capillary action and restores strength as it cures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoes the wood need to be dry before applying BoatLife Git Rot Epoxy? Yes. The wood should be dried as much as possible before application because wet wood cannot be fully saturated and can reduce the product's effectiveness. Although Git Rot Epoxy will eventually cure in damp wood, penetration is best when the wood is dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat is the mixing ratio for BoatLife Git Rot Epoxy? Mix 1 part of component B with 3 parts of component A. Only mix small batches of no more than 4 ounces because larger quantities create a greater reaction and faster cure. Shake the two components vigorously for at leas…\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Boat Life","offers":[{"title":"4 oz","offer_id":50581544206594,"sku":"BOA-1063","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 oz","offer_id":50581544239362,"sku":"BOA-1064","price":77.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"32 oz","offer_id":50581544272130,"sku":"BOA-1065","price":130.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0842\/3024\/2562\/files\/384146_source_1528487401_47237894-fabe-4373-98c3-a146fcfe0101.jpg?v=1791077090","url":"https:\/\/allmarineworld.com\/products\/boatlife-git-rot-epoxy-kit","provider":"All Marine World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
