Marine-Tex Epoxy Putty, Gray 2 oz. Kit

Marine-Tex, the legendary high-strength repair compound, is designed for filling, bonding and rebuilding wood, fiberglass, ceramic, glass, metal, masonry and many plastics.

Marine-Tex is a creamy paste consistency (like toothpaste) that can be applied on vertical or horizontal surfaces and easily fills gaps 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.

• Use for emergency and permanent repairs to hulls, decks, stripped fasteners, piping and tanks
• Can be sanded, ground to shape, tapped, drilled and finished with most common paints and coatings
• Non-rusting
• Dries to form a very hard surface
• Impervious to diesel fuel and many common acids, alkalies, solvents and chemicals
• Gray is recommended for metal and machinery repairs with a compressive strength of 13,000 psi
• White is recommended for fiberglass repairs and other applications where white color is important with a compressive strength of 8,000 psi

Technical Information
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.

Packaging: Marine-Tex White and Gray are available in convenient kits, 2 oz., 14 oz., quart and gallon.

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 Expoxy: 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.
