Its greater elasticity is especially ideal for building and repairing wooden boats, kiteboards, surfboards, cedar strip canoes, and kayaks prone to flexing during use or with fluctuations in temperature and humidity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe simple 2:1 mix ratio of 2 parts resin to 1 part hardener also make it easier to get a perfect cure every time \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e–\u003c\/span\u003e especially with the TotalBoat 2:1 Epoxy Pumps.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis versatile 2:1 system can be used for so many different projects. Use unfilled for laminating, hand layups, coating, and vacuum bagging. Or, add TotalBoat fillers for a strong adhesive, filleting material, or fairing compound. So many capabilities at such a great value. And it’s packaged to match the group sizes of the TotalBoat High Performance Hardeners, so there’s no waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCures to a high-gloss, ultra-clear finish — with no blush to scrub off between coats\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts clear-as-crystal, level finish is perfect for clear coating projects like showcasing the cool texture of carbon fiber fabrics, or for emphasizing wood’s natural color, grain, and beauty. And, because there’s no amine blush, you won’t waste time on messy washdowns between coats, or worry whether you removed every trace of surface blush, so you can apply the next coat confident it will cure properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThree hardener speeds let you adjust working and cure times to suit conditions and your schedule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLife is about making hard choices. Pot life is about making hardener choices. With our High Performance Epoxy Resin, whether your goal is to buy more time or speed up the process, we make the choice easy by offering Fast, Medium, and Slow High Performance Hardeners that let you modify working properties and cure time to your advantage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you want the fastest cure and shortest pot life, or if you’re working in cooler temperatures, use the High Performance Fast Hardener. For most common applications, use the High Performance Medium Hardener. If you’re working in warm conditions, or you need a longer working time, use the High Performance Slow Hardener. Likewise if you’re new to using epoxy resin, you may find the longer working time and cure time helpful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor even greater control over working properties and cure time, you can devise a custom concoction of any of the three High Performance hardeners.
