Questions & Answers about System Three Silvertip Gel Magic Adhesive: 2012-07-02 WILLIAM RICHARDS asked: Can I use Silvertip Gel Magic to laminate Oak frames in a large wooden boat.,will it be flexable enough.? +Expand Answers 2012-07-02 REID SMITH: I used the Gel Magic to laminate spruce ribs in an Adirondack Guide boat and it worked great. The ribs are stiff, but can be bent under under high load. The gel magic does not crack and is very strong. I would recommend this product. 2012-07-02 DANIEL HOLMES: Yes it will work great for that process. I'm also building a cold molded 19' run about. I used this product on all my frames, and battens. Works Great.... Make sure you sand the areas with 80 grit paper that you are going to use the epoxy glue on. It will help make the joint very strong. 2012-07-19 CHRISTIAN DAHL: I'm not sure about what you are asking to be flexible, but I'll try to answer both ways. If you are laminating while pulling the rib materials to conform to your staionary molds (flat jig) or up against the rib bands similar to traditional steam bent ribs; the gel is flexible while you are clamping it down. You should try and ensure minimal gaps, and do not clamp too hard and press out all of the epoxy. The gel is great for eliminating dripping while pulling up a curved piece. If you are referring to remaining flexible after curing as a traditional planked hull is expected, I have preferred System Three epoxies just for this reason. West system seems less flexible. When you are mixing two styles, such as laminated frames and traditional planking with screws, you need some flexibility. A fully laminated (cold molded) hull is more rigid. 2012-08-23 RICHARD LAMBERT: I have never used it that way. Suggest you contact System Three's tech service for a good answer. 2012-02-14 JOHN JONES asked: how is this product mixed/do i need a measuring cup or a caulking tube? +Expand Answers 2012-02-15 PAUL BUBLITZ: It has been several years ago since I used this product. Unfortunately, I don't remember how I mixed it but I'm sure I didn't use a measuring cup. 2012-02-15 DANIEL HOLMES: I use a measuring cup. It is very important to have the correct mixing portions as explained on the containers. Go to a local beauty supply store they have all kinds of mixing containers with very clear markings. 2012-02-15 HENRY HALL: Hey John, If you need only a small amount of epoxy, go with a measuring cup. The printed advice about mixing only what you can use in a few minutes is good advice. I have no experience with the caulk tubes, but have found for larger applications that putting the mixed epoxy in a good-quality quart-size freezer bag works quite well. Put the goop in the bag, zip it shut, cut off a small corner of the bag, and use it like a pastry bag. Tip: after the bag is zipped, lay it on your work table and use a clean mixing stick to "scrape" the material toward the corner with the hole. Good luck. Henry 2012-02-15 DAVE KAISER: Hi John, I used it to assemble a 10' boat w/plywood sides and bottom. You need two measuring containers, one for the resin and one for the hardener. If you use a flexible plastic container for mixing the measured amounts, the residue that inevitably clings to the sides when you pour, will come right out when it cures and you can re-use the container for the next batch. Stuff works great. Dave 2012-02-15 JOHN SHEPERDSON: Hi John. I've used this product numerous times and is great when glueing vertically. I used a measuring cup and mixed up with a stir stick. It's easy to see any unmix product as the color changes once mixed. I wouldn't use a caulking guy would work for this (won't mix it thoroughly). 2012-02-15 DAVID SEILER: This product can be mixed either by volume or by weight. Since it is very thick, I first pour it into two large syringes (60 cc) and use them to dispense into disposable cups for mixing. I found it much easier to dispense from the syringes than just pouring from the container. 2012-02-17 ALAN CAMPBELL: I buy those cheap measuring cups, mix only amount needed according to directions . I used wooden stir sticks and applied with brush also I reused measure cups keeping resin or hardener in same cup so no reaction will take place 2012-02-19 CHRIS DRAPER: They sell it both ways. Either in a caulking tube or as 2 separate containers. It is pretty thick. Somewhere between honey and pudding. It can be a little hard to mix small batches but it certainly can be done. I have some really small like 2 oz mixing cups. If you are patient you can mix as little as an ounce or two at a time. They do sell this in a caulking tube as well and that may be easier if you are using larger amounts in a single session. I didn't go the route of the caulking tube because I was using small amounts each time I used it and I was concerned about the waste that must be throw away because you need to use a new tip on the caulking tube each time you use it. I will say that I am really pleased with the product. It mixes pretty easily as long as you get the ratio pretty close. It holds fantastic. You can use it on vertical surfaces without worrying about it running or sagging. Think of any 2 part epoxy that you would buy in those little double tubes. That is the type of product you are getting. 2012-02-19 john jones: thanks for the info j.
