SilverTip Laminating Resin (Slow Hardener) 1/2 Gallon

This is the Slow Hardener for Silvertip Laminating Resin. It is recommended for use when working at higher temperatures, or when you need a slow cure.

SilverTip Laminating Resin is a medium-low viscosity, liquid epoxy resin system that has been optimized for coating and reinforcing fabric saturation in wood-composite boatbuilding and repair. It will outperform any other product in these applications.
It has superior wet-out characteristics with little tendency to foam or trap air.

SilverTip Epoxy cures to a brilliant blush-free film with either the fast or slow hardener eliminating secondary bonding concerns as experienced with other epoxies.
The working time is longer than most boat building epoxies without extending cure time.
The cured film is tough and resilient with better heat resistance than other epoxies cured at room temperature.

Fillers, wood flour, and bulking agents can be combined with SilverTip Laminating Resin, however, we suggest using other members of the SilverTip Series which are specifically designed for filleting, fairing, and metal applications.
