Clear High Performance Epoxy Kits

PREMIUM, EASY-TO-USE, LOW-VISCOSITY, CLEAR EPOXY RESIN SYSTEM IN A CONVENIENT KIT Use TotalBoat High Performance Epoxy Resin for a moisture-resistant cure that's more clear and slightly more flexible than traditional 5:1 epoxy resin systems. Its greater elasticity is especially ideal for building and repairing wooden boats prone to flexing during use or with fluctuations in temperature and humidity. The calibrated pumps (included) and the simple 2:1 mix ratio of 2 parts resin to 1 part hardener makes it easy to get a perfect cure every time. If you use High Performance Epoxy frequently, our TotalBoat High Performance Epoxy Metering Pump Dispenser is pre-calibrated to the exact 2:1 ratio. So whether you need a little, or a lot, you’ll get the right ratio every time, without messes, spills, or waste. This versatile High Performance Resin Kit system can be used for so many different projects. Use unfilled for laminating, hand layups, coating, and vacuum bagging. Or, add TotalBoat fillers for a strong adhesive, filleting material, or fairing compound. So many capabilities at such a great value.  Need fiberglass cloth, spreaders, or other supplies for your project? Build your own resin and fiberglass kit with our interactive bundle tool. CURES TO A HIGH-GLOSS, ULTRA-CLEAR FINISH — WITH NO BLUSH TO SCRUB OFF BETWEEN COATS Its exceptionally clear, level finish is perfect for clear coating projects like showcasing carbon fiber's cool weave patterns, or for emphasizing wood's natural color, grain, and beauty. And, because there’s no amine blush, you won’t waste time on messy washdowns between coats, or worry whether you removed every trace of surface blush, so you can apply the next coat knowing it'll cure properly. THREE HARDENER SPEEDS LET YOU CONTROL WORKING PROPERTIES AND CURE TIMES With our High Performance Epoxy Resin, whether your goal is to buy more time or speed up the process, we make the choice easy by offering Fast, Medium, and Slow High Performance Hardeners that let you modify working properties and cure time to your advantage. If you want the fastest cure and shortest pot life, or if you’re working in cooler temperatures, use the High Performance Fast Hardener. For most common applications, use the High Performance Medium Hardener. If you’re working in warm conditions, or you need a longer working time, use the High Performance Slow Hardener. Likewise if you’re new to using epoxy resin, you may find the extended pot life and cure time helpful. ALL OF ITS ‘LOWS’ ARE ITS HIGH POINTS Low 2:1 mix ratio makes it very easy to measure precisely for a proper mix and a reliable cure. Low viscosity flows easily to saturate the fibers in composite fabrics for better hand layups and vacuum bagging projects. Excellent thin-film characteristics provide smooth flow-out and self-leveling ideal for coating and laminating. Low drip properties ensure smooth and strong coating, laminating, and bonding, and it cures with very low shrinkage. Low VOC content and low odor make it more suitable for shop or garage use where indoor air quality is especially important. WHICH TOTALBOAT HIGH PERFORMANCE KIT SPEED SHOULD I CHOOSE? High Performance Fast Kit – Use the High Performance Fast Kit for the fastest cure and shortest working time at room temperature, or for an overnight cure in low temperatures (minimum 55°F). High Performance Medium Kit – Use the High Performance Medium Kit for most common applications, or for an overnight cure at room temperature (77°F). High Performance Slow Kit – Use the High Performance Slow Kit for extended working time and cure time at room temperature, or when working in warmer temperature conditions. Not sure how much High Performance Epoxy you need? If you are using it to coat a surface, try our simple epoxy calculator to determine how much resin your project will require. HIGH PERFORMANCE EPOXY KIT DETAILS Kit options include 1.5-pint, 1.5-quart, 1.5-gallon, or 3-gallon quantities of High Performance Epoxy Resin, with your choice of High Performance Fast, Medium, and Slow Hardeners so you can adjust working and cure times. NOTE: 1.5-Pint Kit is only available with slow hardener. Premium, high-performance epoxy resin has a naturally clear, glossy, level finish when cured. Cures with greater clarity and more flexibility than traditional 5:1 epoxy systems. Low viscosity is ideal for coating, laminating, hand layups, & vacuum bagging applications. Combine with fillers for a high-strength bonding, gluing, filleting, or fairing compound. Bonds readily with fiberglass and other composite fabrics, wood, aluminum, steel, and lead Cured epoxy surface is BPA-free, safer for potential food contact. Easy to measure in a 2:1 mix ratio with non-blushing TotalBoat High Performance Fast, Medium, or Slow Hardeners. Measure precise 2:1 ratio with the calibrated 2:1 Epoxy Pumps (included), or manually by weight or volume. Compatibility: Do not use the High Performance Epoxy Resin and High Performance Hardener interchangeably with the epoxy resin and hardener from other 2:1 epoxy systems. Kit Sizes: Groups Size M – 1.5 Pint Kit (great for small projects), Group Size A – 1.5 Quart Kit, Group Size B – 1.5 Gallon Kit, Group Size C – 3 Gallon Kit (a great value for bigger projects) Kit Speeds: Slow, Medium, Fast Kit Contents for 1.5 Quart, 1.5 Gallon, & 3 Gallon Kits: TotalBoat High Performance Epoxy Resin, TotalBoat High Performance Hardener (Slow, Medium, or Fast), calibrated 2:1 measuring pumps & instructions, and 2 quart size plastic mixing pots. Kit Contents for 1.5 Pint Kit: TotalBoat High Performance Epoxy Resin, TotalBoat High Performance Slow Hardener, and 2 pint size plastic mixing pots. PINT KITS DO NOT INCLUDE PUMPS For fiberglass laminations, use this resin calculator for an accurate estimate on your next project.

If heat is not allowed to dissipate sufficiently from a mold or casting, it is still possible for pours, even with these guidelines, to generate enough heat to leave an imperfect surface or a slight yellow cast in the cured product.
