TotalBoat 5:1 Epoxy Kits include everything you need to tackle marine epoxy repairs and fiberglass projects. The five part resin to one part hardener ratio is considered the 'traditional' marine epoxy system of choice for projects like bonding, coating, fairing, filleting, and laminating.
Complete project-ready epoxy kits includes: TotalBoat 5:1 epoxy resin; your choice of either fast or slow TotalBoat hardener; calibrated epoxy pumps that dispense the right ratio of resin and hardener, 2 stir sticks, and 2 mixing pails.
System Group Sizes: A - Quart Kit; B - Gallon Kit; C - 4.5 Gallon Kit.
Note: Don't need the pumps, stir sticks or mixing cups? Gallon size kits are also available with just resin & hardener included. This 'no frills' version makes sense if you just need more epoxy.

| Should I use this for clear-coating applications? | No | No |
For clear-coating applications, or where an ultra clear cure is important, we recommend TotalBoat High Performance 2:1 Epoxy. TotalBoat Crystal Clear 3:1 Epoxy may also be used for such applications.
For extra long pot life and working time, use TotalBoat Tropical Epoxy.
Tip: Wash cured epoxy with water, scrubbing lightly with a Scotch-Brite pad to remove any amine blush prior to over=coating or painting.

Learned about Total Boat on the Boatworks Today YouTube channel. Purchased it to repair a 6 inch diameter soft spot in the deck of my Catalina 22. It mixed easily. Total Boat silica was added to thicken the mixture. The thickened mixture was injected using a syringe into the soft spot through holes drilled into the deck gel coat. The mixture filled the cavity left by the deteriorated wood core. Within 24 hours, the deck was solid. It worked wonderfully.

Very easy to use. Took silica thickener very well. The epoxy did have a hardened block about 1 cm thick in the bottom of the jug.

I've used this product in the workshop for a few years now and have no complaints. If mixed properly, it works as advertised. I've used it quite a bit lately with powdered colors to fill in and sand flush "in-lays" into picture frames.

Been doing collision repair for years. But this is my first total transom replacement on my 20' bass boat, and these guys are hands down your one stop shop for boat repair materials and knowledge. The 5:1 epoxy kits with the pump kit are easy to use and by far the best choice for me!

The epoxy is great. Clear instructions for setting up the gallon jug and hardener pumps. I was also amazed as how quick the delivery was. I will definitely use them again and recommend them to others. THANKS!
