Have an aluminum, fiberglass or wooden boat? With Marine-Tex, you can repair a damaged hull, reinstall loose or stripped fasteners, permanently bond dissimilar metals without galvanic corrosion, fix leaks in fuel tanks, water tanks (it's not rated for potable water repairs), piping and engine blocks, plus fill gouges in wood, metal, fiberglass and gelcoat. The repaired areas are actually stronger than before they were damaged! Marine-Tex is also an excellent choice for repairing problem areas located below the waterline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis high-strength compound is designed to fill, bond and rebuild wood, fiberglass, ceramic, glass, metal, masonry and even many plastics. The harsh demands of marine and industrial environments are no match for Marine-Tex, and once you discover how easy it is to make repairs, you'll probably find a lot more uses for it around your home, your vehicles and a wide range of hobbies. Handles like putty. Hardens like steel. Sands like wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSince it has a creamy paste consistency, you can apply Marine-Tex on vertical or horizontal surfaces, easily fill gaps, and even shape it to rebuild damaged components. Waterproof repairs can be made with fiberglass tape or cloth to bridge holes and reinforce structural repairs as needed. This simple two-part epoxy repair kit can make emergency or permanent repairs to machinery and equipment so you can stay on the water and out of the shop. Marine-Tex can be sanded or ground to shape, tapped and drilled, and finished with most common paints and coatings. Plus, it is resistant to water, gasoline, diesel and many chemicals like common acids, alkalies and hydrocarbons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eColor Choices\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGray is recommended for machinery repairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhite can be tinted with coloring agents for fiberglass and wood applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCoverage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2oz. kit: 17 square inches at 1\/8\" thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e14oz. kit: 124 square inches at 1\/8\" thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMaximum applied thickness: 1 1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eConsistency\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhen mixed, Marine-Tex is a thick, creamy, no-sag putty that is easily applied to most surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePot Life (working time)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMarine-Tex is workable for 30 minutes at 72°F if mixed and spread thin across mixing board.

Lower temperatures will create longer cure times. It is not recommended to apply the product in temperatures below 55°F. Epoxies need heat in order to cure. If your application temperature is not at least 60°F you must apply heat to the area before, during and after the application in order for it to cure. Travaco recommends you place a shop lamp approximately 12\" to 18\" in front of the application. The lamp will provide heat at a constant rate so that the material's temperature is always constant. Do not apply a heat gun or hair dryer to the area, these types of heat will heat the area too much.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMixing Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMix 5 parts epoxy resin to 1 part hardener by volume. (When mixing by weight, the ratio is 6.3 grams of resin to 1 gram of hardener.) Excess hardener will not accelerate cure time and it can reduce the strength of the cured epoxy. Mix the properly 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. Near the end of its working time, the mixture will become very warm and should be discarded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMixing Hints\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBefore starting your project, store Marine-Tex at 70°F for ease of mixing and application.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe temperature of the work area must be at least 55°F and this minimum temperature must be maintained for 24 hours while the epoxy cures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDo not use thinner with Marine-Tex.
