Kits contain TotalBoat traditional 5:1 Epoxy Resin (compare to West System 105), your choice of TotalBoat 5:1 Fast or Slow Hardener (compare to West System 205 and 206 hardeners), and calibrated 5:1 measuring pumps. The 5:1 epoxy resin and hardener pumps are designed to reduce waste in addition to ensuring you get the exact ratio and a perfect cure every time. Choose TotalBoat 5:1 Fast Hardener to achieve a proper cure while working in cooler temperatures (50-85°F). At 75°F, pot life is 12 minutes. Slow Hardener is best when working in warmer temperatures (70-95 degrees), or if you want to extend working times and cure times. At 75°F, pot life is 20 minutes. For dispensing product via pumps, the recommended temperature is 60-70°F.

TotalBoat 5:1 marine epoxy resin can be applied to fiberglass, reinforcement fabrics, wood, etched aluminum, and bare steel. To make a strong adhesive, filleting material, or fairing compound, combine the resin with TotalBoat fillers and thickening agents.
