TotalBoat TotalFair is a lightweight two-component epoxy fairing compound used for fairing, filling, shaping, and repair. With an improved formula for mixing, application, and sanding, TotalFair is the ideal solution for marine repairs and boat restoration. The simple 1 to 1 mix ratio by volume of epoxy resin and hardener changes to a green color when the individual blue and yellow components are mixed properly. This boat fairing compound has excellent sag resistance on vertical, inclined, and overhead surfaces and is even easier to sand when cured properly. At 80F, TotalFair epoxy has up to 25 minute working time and is sandable in just 4 hours.
Provides excellent moisture resistance and can be used above or below the waterline on a variety of substrates. You can apply the fairing compound to fiberglass, wood, steel, and aluminum with proper surface prep. Quickly dries to create a hard yet flexible finish that flexes to minimize stress and prevent cracks or breaks. Use this epoxy putty for filling holes, repairing minor cracks, reshaping contours, and other boatbuilding and boat restoration projects. Available in pint, quart, and gallon kits.
2-PINT KIT: includes one pint Part A & one pint Part B.
2-QUART KIT: includes one quart Part A & one quart Part B.
GALLON KIT: includes half-gallon Part A & half-gallon Part B.
Note: Gelcoat should not be applied directly over TotalFair marine epoxy fairing compound or the gelcoat will not cure properly. Use an epoxy barrier coat primer like TotalProtect to coat over TotalFair before applying gelcoat.

IMPORTANT!
Gelcoat should not be applied directly over TotalFair or the gelcoat will not cure properly. Instead, apply TotalBoat 2-Part Epoxy Primer or TotalBoat TotalProtect Epoxy Barrier Coat Primer over TotalFair, before applying Gelcoat. Primers are sold separately.Additional Application Notes
- When filling holes or gouges: Filling holes up to 3/4" thick may need a second pass, once cured. When fairing a large gouge (maximum depth fill), a 6:1 width to depth ratio is recommended per application. For deep/narrow areas that exceed 6:1, just apply TotalFair in stages, building up each time.
- Do not apply TotalFair over 1-component previously painted surfaces. If you are not sure what the previous coating is, remove it before applying TotalFair.
- If TotalFair crystallizes, simply close the containers completely and set them in a sealed plastic bag, with no air. Place the bag in a bowl of warm water (130-140 degrees F) for a couple of hours. This action will undo the crystallization, and the product will be the proper consistency for use.
- When storing TotalFair for more than 1 month, cover the remaining material in each container with plastic sheeting before securing the lid tightly.

Reviews for TotalBoat TotalFair Epoxy Fairing Compound
Always had trouble with how thin this was and trying to get it onto a mixing stick. The new formulation is great, but gives the same consistency when mixed. Awesome improvement guys!

I have been happily using this for years. Something was different with this time. The blue hardener was very dried out when I opened the container. Yellow was fine. Broke my plastic spatula trying to mix the blue part in the container. Once mixed to the best I could it was grainy looking. Decided to try mixing the two parts together anyway, same as usual. The mixture didn't look to bad but when I applied it there was small bits in it and it was very aerated. Dried and sanded fine. Lots of pinholes. Some pretty large. Never had this with previous applications. Thought was bad batch but when I inquired I was told there was a manufacturer change and that is how it is now. Just beware if you purchased before. Hopefully they rectify this. September 29,2023.

The color system is very clear, take even yellow and blue parts and mix it until you only have green! If you see a yellow streak or a blue patch, then you haven't finished mixing and need to keep going. Working time was plenty in the high seventies to mix a big batch but when it gets into the nineties, you will want to work with a smaller batch since it sets faster. I used a plaster trowel (the rectangular one) as my mixing surface and applying tool. In the seventies, I could mix about three tennis balls worth of material and have plenty of working time; in the nineties, just a single golf ball. It goes a long way as well! I am building a mold for a rather large fiberglass piece for the boat and found the best method to conserve the material was to sand with a long board until all the high spots were knocked down and the small valleys and dimples were left untouched, the spread the fairing compound over the surface with the longest metal plaster trowel from Home Depot. This gave a nice long straight fair edge to spread the material over the surface and make it pretty close to perfect. Once the material cured, sand it again until it's all roughed up. This would identify the low spots that need filling again. Repeat this process a few times and you will sand down all the high spots and fill in all the low spots, resulting in a nice fair surface. Sanding this stuff is easy, even by hand which makes creating compound curves a breeze. This stuff is easy to work with, doesn't clog the sand paper, and cleans up quickly with acetone.
