ITWMarineTex White Marine Tex - 14oz - (MW)

Marine Tex Epoxy Putty Repair Kit - White

Marine-Tex White Epoxy Putty Repair Kit is a professional-grade structural compound built for serious marine repairs. 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.

Kit Includes:

• Epoxy Resin
• Hardener
• Mixing Stick

Specifications:.

• Coverage:
• For 2 oz. Kit, 17 square inches at 1/8" thick
• For 14 oz. Kit, 124 square inches at 1/8" thick
• Mixing Ratio: 5 parts epoxy resin to 1 part hardener - by volume. When mixing by weight, the ratio is 6.3 parts resin to 1 part hardener. Always keep epoxy at room temperature before mixing.
• Cure Time: 24 hours at a constant temperature of 72 degrees Fahrenheit. Lower temperatures will create longer cure times.
• Compressive Strength: 8,700 PSI
• Adhesion Shear Strength: 2,300 PSI
• Tensile Strength: 4,000 PSI
• Chemical Resistance: Most common acids, alkalizes and hydrocarbons

Marine-Tex Application Tips:

• Surface preparation is the key to epoxy adhesion. Remove all contaminants (dirt, oil, grease) with acetone or lacquer thinner. Sand area, then remove grit to improve adhesion.
• Mix the proportioned components with a putty stick or hard plastic squeegee on a broad, flat surface-wood, cardboard or plastic.
• Mix only enough for 15 or 20 minutes of nominal working time.
• After components are thoroughly mixed, spread your mixture into a long thin line to ensure a streak-free consistency and to provide you with maximum working time.
• White Marine-Tex can be tinted with Evercoat's coloring agents for fiberglass and wood applications. Use only a small amount of coloring agent (not more than 5% of the total volume of epoxy).

What can Marine Tex Epoxy Putty Repair Kit - White be used for?

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.

What 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.

What 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.

How 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.

How 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.

Can Marine Tex White Epoxy Putty be tinted?

Yes. White Marine-Tex can be tinted for fiberglass and wood applications using Evercoat coloring agents. Use only a small amount of coloring agent, with no more than 5% of the total epoxy volume, to customize the finished color.
