This versatile putty bonds fiberglass, aluminum, and wood while preventing galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals. It delivers 8,700 PSI compressive strength and 4,000 PSI tensile strength, making repairs stronger than original materials. The waterproof formula works above and below the waterline, handling hull damage, loose fasteners, and gaps with ease. Each kit includes epoxy resin, hardener, and mixing stick. It sands smooth like wood and can be tinted with coloring agents for custom finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKit Includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEpoxy Resin\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHardener\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMixing Stick\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecifications:.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoverage:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor 2 oz.

Marine-Tex White Epoxy Putty is designed for structural marine repairs involving fiberglass, aluminum, and wood. Its waterproof formula can be used above and below the waterline for repairs such as hull damage, loose fasteners, and gaps. The epoxy provides 8,700 PSI compressive strength and 4,000 PSI tensile strength.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat is included in the Marine Tex White Epoxy Putty Repair Kit? Each Marine-Tex White Epoxy Putty Repair Kit includes epoxy resin, hardener, and a mixing stick. The components are combined before application to create the repair compound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat is the mixing ratio for Marine Tex White Epoxy Putty? Mix 5 parts epoxy resin with 1 part hardener by volume. When measuring by weight, use 6.3 parts resin to 1 part hardener. Keep the epoxy at room temperature before mixing, and combine the components thoroughly on a broad, flat surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow long does Marine Tex White Epoxy Putty take to cure? Marine-Tex White Epoxy Putty cures in approximately 24 hours when maintained at a constant temperature of 72°F. Lower temperatures will result in longer cure times, so curing may take longer when the repair is performed in cooler conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow should I prepare a surface before applying Marine Tex White Epoxy Putty? Proper surface preparation is important for epoxy adhesion. Remove dirt, oil, and grease with acetone or lacquer thinner, then sand the repair area and remove the resulting grit. Mix the epoxy thoroughly and apply it to the prepared surface using the supplied mixing stick or a hard plastic squeegee.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan Marine Tex White Epoxy Putty be tinted? Yes. White Marine-Tex can be tinted for fiberglass and wood applications using Evercoat coloring agents.
