Marine-Tex is a creamy paste consistency that can be applied on vertical or
horizontal surfaces, easily fills gaps, and can be shaped to rebuild damaged
components. Marine-Tex paste provides waterproof repairs that can be used with
fiberglass tape or cloth to bridge holes and reinforce structural repairs as
needed. Emergency and permanent repairs to machinery and equipment, hulls,
decks, stripped fasteners, piping and tanks are all easily accomplished with the
mighty repair kit. Marine-Tex can be sanded or ground to shape, tapped and
drilled, and finished with most common paints and coatings.
Marine-Tex is a heavy-duty structural epoxy, used to repair aluminum,
fiberglass and wooden boats, reinstall loose or stripped fasteners, permanently
bond dissimilar metals without galvanic corrosion, and fill gouges in wood,
metal and fiberglass, making repaired areas stronger than before.
Marine-Tex is an excellent choice for repairing problem areas located below
the waterline. Marine-Tex is resistant to water and many chemicals.
COLORS: White and Gray. Marine-Tex Gray is recommended for machinery repairs.
Marine-Tex White can be tinted with ITW Fiber-Glass Evercoat's coloring agents
for fiberglass and wood applications. Be sure to use only a small amount of
coloring agent (no more than 5% of the total volume of epoxy.)
COVERAGE: For 2 oz. kit, 17 square inches at 1/8" thick. For 14 oz. kit, 124
square inches at 1/8" thick. Maximum applied thickness is 1 1/2 inches.
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
the epoxy at room temperature before mixing.
CONSISTENCY OF MIXED EPOXY: Thick, creamy no-sag putty, easily applied.
POT LIFE (WORKING TIME): At 72F, 30 minutes if mixed and spread thin across
mixing board. (A lump of material, or higher temperatures, may generate a 15 -
20 minute working time due to the heat the epoxy creates within itself.)
CURE TIME: 24 hours at a constant temperature of 72F. Lower temperatures will
create longer cure times. It is not recommended to apply the product in
temperatures below 55F.
