Product Details

TotalBoat Polyester Structural Repair Putty makes critical bonding applications on polyester laminates easy, strong, and permanent. Its trowelable, thixotropic formula spreads smoothly & won't sag, making it great for fairing vertical surfaces. Polyester Structural Repair Putty is also easy to shape, so it's ideal for radius forming.

Reinforced with long strand milled glass fibers, this high-strength, fast-setting marine bonding putty adds strength & dimensional stability to structural, boat building & repair applications including bedding and tooling. Great for reinforced bonding on hulls, decks & stringers, and multi-purpose bonding on FRP composites, core materials, and wood. Add 1-2% MEKP catalyst based on mass, ambient conditions, and desired working time.

Available in Quart and Gallon Kits that include MEKP catalyst, and 1 spreader.

Tech Specs

Technical Specifications	TotalBoat Polyester Structural Repair Putty
Application Temperature	50°F - 95°F
Catalyst	Catalyze with 1-2% MEKP, based on mass, ambient conditions, and desired working time. More catalyst will shorten working time, but will maintain working time at cooler temperatures.
Working Time	For a 100g mass, catalyze with 1% MEKP for approximately 15-20 minutes of working time at 70°F (14 drops of MEKP catalyst per ounce of Polyester Structural Repair Putty).
Cure Time	Dependent on temperature, catalyst amount, and mass of putty. For example, cure time will be 20-30 minutes for 100g mass catalyzed with 1% MEKP @ 77°F
Weight	8.9-9.1 lbs./gal.
Shelf Life/Stability	Approximately 3-4 months (can be longer, depending on storage conditions). Keep container closed tightly, and store in a cool (below 75°F), well-ventilated place.

Info & Guides

Great for Structural Bonding, Filling, & Fairing Above or Below the Waterline

TotalBoat Polyester Structural Repair Putty uses a premium resin reinforced with long strand milled glass fibers for strength and impact resistance. In addition to structural bonding, bedding, and tooling applications, it's perfect for filling larger voids and gouges that are too deep for cosmetic fairing compound.

This high-strength polyester putty is engineered for structural bonding, filling, & fairing, not for cosmetic filling and fairing. For cosmetic fairing and repairs requiring a fine finish, use TotalBoat Polyester Fairing Compound over cured Polyester Structural Repair Putty. Allow the Polyester Fairing Compound to cure, then sand to achieve an extremely smooth surface ready for gelcoat or paint.

IMPORTANT!

TotalBoat Polyester Structural Repair Putty will not cure in air, and requires overcoating with an air dry material such as PVA (polyvinyl alcohol), paraffin wax, polyester resin with wax, gelcoat with wax, or TotalBoat Polyester Fairing Compound, in order to effect a proper cure.

Important Safety Information

WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including styrene, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

Always wear protective gloves, protective clothing, eye protection, and face protection when working with TotalBoat Polyester Structural Repair Putty. Personal protective clothing should include appropriate gloves, safety glasses or goggles, a proper respirator, and a proper apron or similar protective clothing. Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames, and other ignition sources. No smoking. Only use outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place (below 75°F). Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood.

Shelf Life

Polyester resins have a limited shelf life and will, over time, harden in the container without the addition of catalyst. Shelf life is dependent on a number of factors such as product formulation and storage conditions. As a general rule, the shelf life for uncatalyzed polyester resins should be up to 6 months when stored in dry, cool conditions below 70°F. Warm to above 60°F before use.

Yes absolutely

By BigB from Everett, WA

Verified Purchase

Product works extremely well for a casual diy. I am undergoing a stringer and transom replacement. This product takes a lot of guess work and time out of mixing a thickened product. The consistency is prefect for fillets, bedding stringers, filling small holes etc.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I will reorder again

By Line-X Cape Cod from Hyannis, Ma

Cored out foam from a large/long wheelhouse window along the starboard side opening and needed to reinforce and seal it. Worked perfectly and I was able to completely fill the cored cavities overhead as well as the curved and flat surfaces without any issues. I mixed small batches of 6 oz at a time to insure proper mixing. Note: counting drops can be an issue so a standard medicine dropper conversion is...20 drops= 1 ml

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Stuff works, not sure I got the right catalyst...

By Bayou Bum from Texas Coast

Verified Purchase

Product is easy to use once it's mixed with the catalyst. Not sure if it was a mistake or the norm but I received a small bottle of liquid MEKP catalyst, like you get with liquid products like resins, to use with this product, which is a paste. Not impossible to mix but dang hard to measure out a small amount of each. Would rather use a paste catalyst like you get with other fairing products.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I would buy this again.

By Chris from Utah

I used this for my fiberglass putty. Was much easier to mix and in the long run it saved me time and money. The first time I ordered the quart the second time I just want with the gallon. I would rather have more then not enough of this stuff.
