On wooden hulls, Gluvit seals and protects planks and sheeting against water absorption and damage from marine parasites.
On aluminum hulls, Gluvit seals seams and rivets and acts as a barrier coat to minimize galvanic corrosion.
On jet skis, rowboats and canoes, Gluvit provides abrasion resistance to protect hull sides and bottoms from damage by grounding on beaches or rocks.
Lightly drag a foam brush in long even strokes over the freshly applied coating to smooth the surface
• For maximum ultraviolet protection, must be painted after cure
• 2 lb unit covers 25-35 square feet, when applied at 6-8 mils
• 8 lb unit covers 100-130 square feet at the same thickness
Note: If ambient temperature is below 50 degrees, pre condition gluvit and work area to at least 55 degrees.
If you love your boat, you know how important it is to protect it from water damage and marine pests.
That's why you need Marine Tex's Gluvit epoxy sealer, the ultimate solution for sealing and waterproofing your boat's hull.
Gluvit is a versatile product that can be used on wood, aluminum, steel, and fiberglass surfaces.
It creates an excellent impact and abrasion resistant barrier coat that minimizes fiberglass blistering and corrosion, seals cracks and leaks, and strengthens stringers, decking, and molding.
Gluvit can be overcoated with any marine paint or other coating compatible with epoxies, or left as is for a natural finish.
Gluvit is easy to apply with a brush or roller, and penetrates deep into the pores of the wood or metal to bond and harden.
To prepare the surface for Gluvit, you need to frost sand it with 80-100 grit sandpaper, remove all grit and dust with a solvent rinse, and make sure there is room for a power mixer to blend the resin and hardener.
If you have deep holes more than 1/8 inch in depth, you should fill them with Marine Tex epoxy putty before applying Gluvit.
Note that if the ambient temperature is below 50°F, you should pre-condition Gluvit and the work area to at least 55°F.
Don't worry if rain water turns milky after applying Gluvit, as this will not affect its performance or appearance.
