TotalBoat Thixo is a thickened epoxy adhesive that gives you the reliability and strength of a modern 2:1 epoxy system in an easy to use 185ml cartridge. This convenient point and shoot system is ideal for bonding wood, metal and fiberglass above or below the waterline.
Thixo cartridges fit most standard caulking guns. Lay a bead of this non-sagging adhesive to vertical or overhead surfaces. TotalBoat Thixo cures to a hard, translucent surface that can be drilled, painted, or sanded. This no-mess, no-hassle versatile 2:1 epoxy system comes equipped with two free static mixing tips to ensure accurate mix ratio upon application every time. Ideal working temperatures range from 50-80 degrees F.
Cartridges are available individually and in packs of (6) cartridges. Additional mixing tips sold separately.
Note: For use in manual caulking guns only. Do not use with pneumatic gun.

NOTE: Thixo cartridges have a slightly offset nozzle that fits most, but not all, caulk guns. Caulking applicators used with Thixo need to have a hole large enough for the mixing tip; cartridges won't fit applicators with only a small hole for the nozzle. For best results, use a caulk gun with an 8 to 1 thrust ratio or higher.

Very easy to use. Doesn't go as far as you think. You only use about 1/2 of the tube.

Cure time was perfect at 75 degrees. I wish the tubes held more.

I have been using Thixo to adhere repairs and stiffeners on a swim platform that needed complete rebuild. Has proven to be easy to work and extremely strong Only missed the last star because it is soooo expensive.

Used thixo to bond 2 pieces of 3/4 plywood after treating with penetrating epoxy. Worked great for my transom repair project

Great for little jobs. The thickness is just right, it stays where you put it. 2 nozzles is a downside but I've found West Systems nozzles work fine and are available at West Marine.

I use the Epoxy System in my woodwork shop and the System has worked beyond expectations. When it comes to epoxy many say they are the best, but Total Boat proves it.

If you need some epoxy and don't feel like dragging out the two part bottles and mixing up a batch, buy this product. It works fast, it is easy to use, and can be resealed. I always have a couple of tubes on hand so I can quickly get a small job done. It us worth every penny when you are trying to get things done quickly.

Product is easy to work with. Used a better gun from Home Depot and had no problem dispensing it. I have many small projects going on so I should have ordered more tips. Kind of pricey and all brands are but no measuring or mixing makes it worth the cost. I used this after a friend, who repairs boats, recommended it.

I have a wood , metal clad patio door that was rotting from the inside. It would have been $2000 to replace. Watching Lou Sauzedde gave me the confidence to try an Epoxy repair for the first time. Since the exterior metal cladding was in good shape, I attacked the repair from inside, removing all the rotted wood and replacing it with new wood coated in LV This and bedded in 2:1. It worked like a charm and we finished off with total Fair. Saved $1900 in the process.
