It can be easily\nthickened with a number of fillers to modify consistency and strength. There\nare two types of structural bonding that can be done with epoxy. TWO-STEP\nBONDING is the preferred method for most situations because it promotes\nmaximum epoxy penetration into the bonding surface and prevents epoxy-starved\njoints. SINGLE-STEP BONDING is appropriate when joints will have minimal loads\nand excess epoxy absorption into porous surfaces is not a problem. In both\ncases, epoxy bonds best when it is worked into the surface with a roller or\nbrush. Coating, Laminating \u0026amp; Clear Finishing COATING AND LAMINATING are\npopular uses of WEST SYSTEM Epoxy. Epoxy wets out fiberglass cloth, protecting\nthe substrate while letting its beauty shine through. We recommend WEST SYSTEM\n105 Resin with blush-free, water-clear 207 Special Clear Hardener for bright\nfinishes and clear coats. COATING involves rolling the epoxy onto a surface\nwith a foam roller, applying it with a brush, or spreading the epoxy over the\nsurfaces with a plastic spreader. . There are two methods for laminating with\nfiberglass and epoxy. THE DRY METHOD refers to placing the cloth over a dry\nsurface, wetting the cloth with epoxy and spreading the epoxy over the cloth,\nsmoothing it as you go. THE WET METHOD involves applying the cloth to an\nepoxy-coated surface after the wet-out coat becomes tacky, which helps it\ncling to vertical or overhead surfaces. This method makes it more difficult to\nposition the cloth, so the dry method is the preferred, especially when using\nwith thinner cloth. Clear Casting \u0026amp; Pouring CASTING AND POURING are best done\nwith WEST SYSTEM 105 Resin and 207 Special Clear Hardener. AVOIDING\nUNCONTROLLED EXOTHERM is important, as this heat reaction can quickly spoil\nthe casting. Epoxy cures by exothermic (heat) reaction. That heat must be kept\nunder control when when creating a thick casting (greater than ¼”). For thick\ncastings, add epoxy in multiple layers . When the first pour is tacky like the\nback of masking tape, a second pour can be made. When the epoxy cures enough\nto become tacky, it means the previous layer has begun to cool down and will\nnot contribute heat to the next layer. Adding another layer at this stage\nallows you to skip any surface prep. If the poured epoxy casting cures past\nthe tacky stage, allow the epoxy to finish curing then sand ot dull and clean\nthe surface before applying the next epoxy layer. This will ensure good\nadhesion between layers. Read more Versatile, reliable WEST SYSTEM products\nWEST SYSTEM offers high-quality epoxy resins, hardeners, fillers, and\nadditives.

Fiberglass Boat Repairs \u0026amp; Construction This\nvintage 15' Larson Thunderhawk was repaired with WEST SYSTEM Epoxy. Damage\nfrom collisions, groundings, the forces of nature, and aging make it common\nfor fiberglass boats to need repairs. Effectively repairing a fiberglass boat\nrequires a superior structural adhesive, that adheres to polyester resin,\nfiberglass, wood, metal and other materials. Unlike polyester resin which can\nshrink from 5% to 8%, creating stress concentrations at the repair joint,\nepoxy doesn’t shrink. It's also a more effective moisture barrier. Epoxy forms\na tenacious mechanical bond with cured polyester and other materials in\nsecondary bonding. Since epoxy is more durable than polyester, the epoxy\nrepair may be even stronger than the original structure. Ease of use, ready\navailability, safety, and easy access to how-to information makes WEST SYSTEM\nEpoxy excellent for fiberglass boat repair. Wooden Boat Construction \u0026amp; Repairs\nThis strip canoe was built with WEST SYSTEM Epoxy. Wood is the primary\nbuilding material for many of today’s most durable and most beautiful boats,\nwhether canoes, kayaks, dories, sailboats or power boats. Many of the\nwood\/epoxy construction techniques that have made modern wooden boats so\nsuccessful can also be applied to the repair of older wooden boats with\nexcellent results. Gougeon Brothers, Inc., the company that has been\nformulating and manufacturing WEST SYSTEM Epoxies since 1969. They pioneered\nthe use of epoxy to enhance wood's natural structural properties. Ease of use,\nready availability, safety and easy access to instructional materials makes\nWEST SYSTEM Epoxy a great choice for wooden boat construction and repairs.\nFurniture \u0026amp; Crafts The Eat a Peach Tribute Guitar using marquetry skills and\nWEST SYSTEM Epoxy.

Homeowners rely on WEST SYSTEM Epoxy because it's\nversatile, reliable, readily available, consistent, and offers excellent\ninstructional materials. WEST SYSTEM customers have used it to create spiral\nstaircases, grand entry columns, and cherry wood basins. They've used it to\nbuild fences, trellises, and planter boxes, and neighborhood mini-libraries\nthat can withstand decades outdoors. And to repair everything from porches and\nwooden window sashes to fiberglass tub and shower surfaces. Ease of use, ready\navailability, safety, and easy access to how-to information makes WEST SYSTEM\nEpoxy an ideal adhesive and coating for lasting home repairs.

Start with 105 Epoxy Resin, the basic ingredient\nof all WEST SYSTEM Epoxy compounds. Use 300 Mini Pumps for convenient and\naccurate metering. 2. Mix with one of four WEST SYSTEM hardeners. Select a\nhardener for its intended use and for the cure speed best suited for your job\nin the temperature range in which you are working. 3. Add one of six WEST\nSYSTEM fillers to thicken the mixture as needed. Select a filler for its\nhandling characteristics or cured physical properties. Or, add WEST SYSTEM\nadditives to provide specific coating properties.
