{"product_id":"thixo-flex-flexible-thickened-epoxy-adhesive","title":"Thixo Flex Thickened Flexible Epoxy Adhesive","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAn epoxy adhesive that stays flexible and copes with stress\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s always a challenge to choose the right glue that will stick stuff together and keep it that way in watery, windy, wavy marine conditions. Especially when the stuff you’re sticking together doesn’t hold still and moves continually due to temperature and humidity fluctuations, flexing, and vibration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTotalBoat Thixo Flex is a thickened, flexible epoxy adhesive that cures fairly quickly to form permanent structural bonds resilient enough to flex and hold strongly when subjected to the expansion, contraction, vibration, and shock stresses that can affect boats and boat parts. For this reason, Thixo Flex is the perfect adhesive for building and repairing wooden boats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSticks to a lot of different things, even when they’re damp or just plain difficult\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSorting through the multitude of adhesive products is enough to make you come unglued. Some work only on wood, others are better for bonding plastics. Thixo Flex can bond several different types of materials, as long as they’re prepared properly. Besides wood — even oily hardwoods like teak that are typically difficult to glue — Thixo Flex bonds fiberglass, aluminum and other metals, glass and ceramics, and most plastics, including ABS, PVC, HDPE, LDPE, and polycarbonate. Considering all the materials that make up a boat and its parts, Thixo Flex is the one adhesive that no complete marine toolkit should be without.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNo mixing needed, and easier to use than other thickened 2-part flexible epoxies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome two-part pre-thickened flexible epoxy adhesives come with the resin and hardener in separate tubes. You have to squeeze out the right amount of each, mix thoroughly by hand, and hope for good results. Thixo Flex has the resin and hardener inside a single cartridge that fits most standard caulking guns (sold separately). Just twist a static mixing tip — two are included — onto the cartridge, insert the cartridge into the caulking gun, and squeeze the handle. There’s no measuring. No mixing. No mess. Just point and pull the trigger to dispense a bead of adhesive measured to the exact ratio of 1 part resin to 1 part hardener and mixed thoroughly to get the perfect, reliable cure for gluing every job. Every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMuch more than a marine adhesive\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of all the different types of materials Thixo Flex can glue, just think of all the things it can help you build, restore, or fix. Birdhouses, dog sleds, bathtubs, carousel horses, bicycle frames, furniture, hockey sticks — and the list goes on. With Thixo Flex, you’re limited only by your imagination (and its physical properties, of course).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThixo Flex Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-thickened, two-part epoxy adhesive cures to a flexible solid that forms permanent structural bonds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-strength bonds hold firmly when subjected to stresses from contraction, expansion, vibration, and shock.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSag-resistant, easy to spread flexible epoxy is automatically measured, mixed, and dispensed through the included static mixing tip so it’s easy to get the exact ratio and a perfect cure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks on wood, fiberglass, metals, glass, ceramics, and some plastics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso bonds firmly to domestic and tropical hardwoods that are oily and typically hard to glue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for use in building wooden boats such as kayaks and canoes, and for bonding parts that are prone to flexing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be applied to dry, damp, or wet surfaces surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong working time and easy cleanup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCured epoxy is waterproof, and can be sanded and painted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse above or below the waterline.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn addition to boat building and repair, you’ll find dozens of uses for fixing broken household items, sports equipment, and much more!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVersatile \u0026amp; flexible enough to use on boats, RVs, motorcycle fenders, athletic equipment, and household items.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: Available in a 250 ml cartridge that fits most standard caulk guns (sold separately).
