West System Six10 is a thickened epoxy adhesive that combines the strength and reliability of a two-part epoxy with the easy to use convenience of a single part formula.
Cartridges feature mixing tips that ensure the right ratio of resin and hardener is automatically mixed upon application. Easy to apply with a standard caulking gun, Six10's unique non sagging formula lets this epoxy bond tenaciously to wood, metals, fiberglass, and concrete. Colorless resin and hardener.
Are you working on your boat or project after work or on the weekend? Not having to mix resin and hardener beforehand saves time. Are you working overhead, on vertical surfaces, or tight spaces? This thick adhesive won't cause problems with sagging or runoff.
Additional static mixing tips can be purchased separately.

Six10 Application & Cure Time Informaiton
Six10 cures in temperatures as low as 50F. Working time is 42 minutes at 72F. It cures to a solid state in 5-6 hours and will take high loads in 24 hours. The cure time is faster at warm temperatures and slower in cool temperatures. The Six10 cartridge holds 190 ml of epoxy resin and hardener.
To use this adhesive, replace the retaining nut and plug on the West System Six10 dispensing cartridge with the 600 Static Mixer that comes attached to the cartridge. Dispense the mixed 2-part epoxy adhesive using a standard caulking gun.
The efficient internal geometry of the 600 Mixer thoroughly blends resin and hardener in a short mixing length for good application control and a minimum of waste. Place high-strength, non-sagging Six10 thickened epoxy exactly where it's needed in less time and with no mess.
Additional 600 Static Mixer nozzles are available in packages of two or twelve.
If you're doing a small job, you don't have to use the static mixer. Simply squeeze out what you'll need (maybe even a little less- you can always mix a little more if short) onto a piece of poster board or
plywood and stir thoroughly. The resin and hardener are
slightly different colors; use this color difference to gauge
the thoroughness of your mix. All should be a consistent
color with no streaks.

Questions & Answers about WEST System Six10 Thickened Epoxy Adhesive:
2013-04-13ISAAC STEPHENSON asked: Is this a sutiable product to bond a kayak deck to kayak hull?
+Expand Answers
2013-04-16FRED LORD: Yes this is an amazing product
2013-04-16JOHN JACKSON: Although I hav eno experience in using this product in a marine environment I am sure it will do a great job - I use this product solely in RC model airplane construction especially in areas where petroleum and high vibration exists - works really great and would recommend it for many high strength aand vibration areas.
2013-04-16ART COE: I have not used it for that specific purpose. However, I have used it in many applications, including as an adhesive, to laminate pieces of plywood, and to make fillets, for joining plywood. In the adhesive application I didn't use the mixing nozzle - simply squeezed the two part mix into a cup and mixed it with a stick. Worked great.
So, while I don't have the specific experience with your application, IMHO i5 would work just fine.
2013-04-17BARRY HESSINGER: I would think this would depend on what materials the deck and hull are constructed of. I do not think it would successfully bond polyethylene, but it seems to adhere well to other types of materials like fiberglass, wood and acrylics. Polyethylene would need to be welded I believe.
2013-04-17DAVE UNDERWOOD: Whats it made out of? If it`s wood to wood I would say absolutely yes.
2013-04-17JEFF CAMPBELL: I use this to bond carbon fiber surfaces. If the kayak is fiberglass or kevlar or carbon fiber this should work fine. I'm not sure about plastic boats.
2013-04-17GILL MELANCON: From my experience, I think it will bond anything to anything. I used it as a filler when replacing the transome in my bay boat and am excited at how easy it is to apply and how fast it sets up. I was also excited when I use it on vertical surfaces and did not have to worry about it sagging.
2013-04-17LEE BAUERLEIN: I'm pretty sure it would. You might consider using some regular epoxy to "wet" the bonding surfaces a bit so you don't have to use so much of the thickened material but it does fill well in areas that are not tight fits. You can also mix a thickening material (406) in the regular West epoxy that can be easily spread with a glue brush without it running all over the place. That seems to bond just as well.
2013-04-29JON KINSLEY: outstanding adhesive, best use of the product. I used to attach a wooden rubrail to a very old Snipe sailboat - very easy to use and worked beatifully. Keeps very well in the tube, since I have very small projects that was important.
2012-08-20A shopper asked: canit be used on wet masonry with a crack that is dripping water?
+Expand Answers
2012-08-20DWIGHT MERRIAM: I regret I do not know. I did not use it that way.
2012-08-20JOHN JACKSON: Sorry but I do not have any info to help in this regard.
2012-08-20LEO ELLIOTT: i do not think so it needs time to set up.
2012-08-21GENE WILLS: Not sure if epoxy will adhere to a wet surface. You could test it on wet cement block to see what happens. The more conventional approach would be to use hydraulic cement which will expand as it cures and seal the crack.
If the crack is a hairline crack, you should widen the crack with a chisel. 1/4" would be a good size. While you have the crack open, dry it out with a heat gun or hair dryer. If you want to go the epoxy route, spread some mixed epoxy on all of the crack surfaces. Then mix some epoxy with sand and fill the joint. Level the surface with a trowel or putty knife.
I have used this approach with great success.
Thoroseal can be used to waterproof the wall if you have clean block or cement (no paint or other coatings).
2012-08-21FRED FISHER: Unfortunately I do not have the answer re dripping water. Am myself waiting for the winter freeze- thaw cycle to determine how well the bond survives between 2 masonry blocks that were joined when each was wet in summer. For now bond seems strong.
2012-08-21GEORGE RAMSEY: I haven't tried it, but I am certain that it would not work.
2012-08-28STEWART BARNES: I am not sure. I used it to anchor several posts that were supporting a shed roof of a stable. The old posts were just placed on the concrete pads, so I chipped out a shallow recess that just fit the 4x4's and embedded them with the epoxy. The concrete was damp but not wet. The product did set up quickly and was nice and thick.

2012-04-26BARRY HESSINGER: Although id id not use for it for this, it seems to be very tenacious and I would think if anything could do it, Six10 could.

+Expand Answers
2012-02-17BARRY HESSINGER: According to the Westsystem site, it states that it is a permanant waterproof, structural gap fislling adhesive. Sounds like it would work anywhere but I would paint or gelcoat over it as well.
2012-02-29WILLIAM CONNOR: I'm not sure what the "opening" is: a crack? Six10 will not flex much, so it will crack over time due to flexing. 5200, or some such, might be a better option for sealing high stress joints subject to flex.
2012-03-11SAUL KAPLAN: Hi Ralph, never tried. I might simply email them and ask. Sorry. Saul

2011-12-22BRIAN TYRRELL asked: Can you reuse the mixing nozzels or is it a one time application?
+Expand Answers
2011-12-22RICHARD WOLF: The mixing nozzels are only good for the working time of the epoxy. Once the epoxy cures in the nozzel, the nozzel must be discarded.
2011-12-22JOHN HEIDEREICH: mixing nozzels no but you can purchase additional or just mix the epoxy on a board and they use it
2011-12-23THOMAS JORDAN: Mixing nozzle is a one time use. Just order some spair nozzles for later use. This stuff works great for bonding two parts together, Tommy
2011-12-29JEFF WEXLER: The mixing nozzle is a single use product. Order extra nozzles if you are not going to use the whole tube in a single shot. Since mixing takes place as soon as you start dispensing, the product will cure in the nozzle.
2011-12-29WILLIAM MAY: Theoretically, it should be possible to clean them out. You would need a ready source of a solvent such as MEK, a way to pressurize it to blow it through the mixing chambers, and some time.
On a practical note, I really think trying to re-use the mixer is going to be a failure. Even if you take a lot of time to set up the equipment, the odds are, you will not be able to remove all the old epoxy. We use a similar system at the aircraft factory I work at, and they get the mix nozzles by the thousand. You grab a mix nozzle, do your work, and remove the used nozzle and discard it in a container that is for contaminated debris. Then put the cap back on and set the epoxy aside until the next time you need to use it, at which time you repeat the process. For the West System adhesive, I was using it to glue maple planks together for use in an antique car. I used the mixing nozzle the first time, and then with the second batch, I just extruded it onto a piece of cardboard and mixed it by hand. There was no discernable difference to me in the product or the finished characteristics. The planks glued up fine, the adhesive solidified like a rock, and I now have 2 very tough maple planks for use as axles on a 1910 Brush automobile. The mix nozzles are more convenient, but I freqently mix epoxies by weight or by volume, depending on what the application is, so mixing by hand doesn't bother me at all. The nozzles are nice, but not necessary.
Good luck!
2011-12-30JAMES TAYLOR: I have not tried to clean out the nozzles and discarded them at the end of the day. It would be more economical if one could clean them easily. For small projects I have pumped out a measured amount without the nozzle and mixed it by hand.
2012-01-02DWIGHT MERRIAM: I don't know. It looks to me like it is mixed in the nozzle and would thus cure there if you don't flush the nozzle afer each use.
I found it just as easy not to use the mixing nozzle, but to mix it in a cup. It worked great in repairing a broken rear window hinge on my Suburban.
Mark the cap so you put it on in the same place to avoid cross-contamination. Carefully wipe excess from each side to avoid cross contamination.
2011-11-28RICH SMITH asked: used six ten to repair gelcoat crack 6 10 did not get hard enough to sand 24 hr 65 drg apox will it continue to harden ? i have used this stuff many times i mixed it real good what givs? to cold?
+Expand Answers
2011-11-29MICHAEL OVERTON: Rich -
Did you dispense some of this in a dollop all by itself and see if it kicked? I have encountered mis-manufactured adhesives in the past that did not cure after dispersal from the tube. Interesting to note that "I mixed it real good". Six10 should be self mixing as it is dispersed through a mixing nozzle supplied with the product. If you are not using the supplied nozzle perhaps you got your quantity of hardener to resin incorrect. It should kick at 65 degrees no problem.
2011-11-29JEFF WEXLER: I used West Systems Six 10 this past weekend in NJ. The weather varied greatly. We had temperatures as warm as 70 Degrees with 10% humidity as well as temps in the low 50s with 60% humidity. The Six 10 definitely took longer to cure this time around however after about 30 hours, it was all rock solid and sandable with no problems. I wouldn't recommend applying it below 50 degrees, but it seemed to cure just fine in the end.
2012-01-03GENE WILLS: RIch,
Did you mix the 6/10 by hand or did you use the mixing nozzel? 65 is definitely not too cold. Try shinning a halogen light on the area to warm it up. If it still doesn't harden, send it back for another tube or refund.
I have used a lot of 6/10 in temperatures for 85-40F without any issues.

2012-01-03TIMOTHY WALSH: I'm up in New England and use this stuff in the winter in below freezing temps. Usually takes 2 days to fully harden for me. I would give it another day and try sanding.

As an amateur builder, working on evenings and weekends, Six10 is a timesaver. Mixing is limited to unthickened wet out. I can fly with the cartridges, laying the thickened epoxy wherever I want, following up with shaping and filleting. Also holds in situations where my mixes might have run out. I also use it in scarfs to dam the edges of the scarf and then feed more unthickened epoxy (which is stronger) from the top. That's a win-win.

I ran a single bead of this glue around the transom frame and when I got back to the start point the color was not the same. In fact the color changed through out the beads length. I should have stopped but thinking it would be OK I applied the plywood. Three weeks later the glue in some areas is still not hard. Lucky that these are above the water line. Yes I did waste the first few inches into a cup.

Comments about WEST System Six10 Thickened Epoxy Adhesive:
After pulling the boat and finding numerous jell-coat nicks on the bottom that needed repair, the old system of mixing and then getting it to stick to the boat while you are laying on your back just didn't get it! The ease of "squirting" the mix "up" directly onto the damaged area saved many hours of "mix, mess & drip". I love this stuff. The only drawback is that you can work so fast that you have to watch the rate in which you go thru the mix to insure you pace yourself and have enough to last to the end.

Comments about WEST System Six10 Thickened Epoxy Adhesive:
This is a very strong glue that is thick enough to be applied to vertical surfaces without sag or runoff. It is very convenient to use and store in compact spaces but beware of the limited quantity that is supplied. About six ounces come in the tube and one of those six are wasted in the tip so the tube only delivers about five actual ounces of mixed epoxy so it is best used as adhesive and not for filling etc.

I've used this product in the restoration of a wooden boat. The prethickened epoxy has remarkable nonsagging abilities and sets up well even in colder environments. The use of a caulking gun helps reduce waste and mess, although it's a shame that the mixing tip can't be reused. I recommend buying extras.

One thing to note is that if you are only using a small amount you can dispense without using a mixing tip onto a board and mix it yourself. This eliminated the waste that gets left in the tip.

Merchant response: We’re very sorry for the problem you experienced using our Six-10 Adhesive. We received one other similar complaint from a customer several months back. Because we were able to speak with him we identified that the problem was caused by a missing baffle inside the mixing tip. We’re fairly certain this is what caused your Six-10 to not cure. Without the baffle, the resin and hardener will not cure properly. To minimize the chance of it happening again, we recently changed the color of the mixing baffles from clear plastic to blue. That way our workers can easily verify that the mixing wand is inside each mixing tip (made of clear plastic) and are properly installed when assembling the Six-10 tubes. Please contact Tom Pawlak in our tech department (866-937-8797) and we would be happy to make appropriate reparations for your problem. Thanks
