Polyester Fairing Compound

VERSATILE FILLER AND FAIRING COMPOUND WITH MANY APPLICATIONS From boat building and repairs to automotive applications, there are many uses for this versatile fairing material, including: Fairing fiberglass decks and hulls (above the waterline only) Cosmetic filling on composite surfaces to repair shallow dings, cracks, dents, and gouges Repairing fiberglass parts, molds, and plugs Filling print-through or porosity on composite surfaces Fairing joints in sheet metal TotalBoat Polyester Fairing Compound can also be tinted to better match existing gelcoat. Just be sure to use colorants that are safe for polyester resins. ECONOMICAL, TIME-SAVING ALTERNATIVE FOR COMPOSITE TOOLING AND REPAIR APPLICATIONS TotalBoat Polyester Fairing Compound & Marine Filler is not only less expensive than epoxy fairing compounds, it’s also chemically compatible with polyester resins, and can create strong primary bonds when used to fair polyester resin layups. It also bonds chemically to gelcoat, for a stronger, longer-lasting finish. Polyester Fairing Compound’s quick setup time is also a plus because it greatly reduces the time between application and sanding, for quick turnaround, which is very important for composite shops with tight production schedules. SMOOPTH DRAG, NO SAG, AND PERFECT FEATHERING Tooling professionals and those doing DIY repairs will appreciate Polyester Fairing Compound’s thick, buttery consistency that won’t sag on vertical and overhead surfaces. It spreads evenly, drags smoothly, and creates a perfect feathered edge the first time — every time — so no time is wasted on reapplication. QUICK SETUP TIME AND VERY EASY TO SAND This lightweight cosmetic filler sets up quickly and can be sanded in as little as 30 minutes. It’s very easy to sand thick or thin areas to a perfectly smooth, streak-free surface, without tearing up the fine, feathered edge. It sands down to a powder, so it won’t load up, and you’ll use less sandpaper.
