TotalBoat High Performance Epoxy Resin and High Performance Non-Blushing Hardeners cure to an ultra-clear, glossy, blush-free finish that produces exceptional results for hand layups, laminating, and clear coating.
Compare to MAS Low-Viscosity Epoxy and System Three Epoxy. You'll find our High Performance epoxy system combines the best characteristics of each: its low-viscosity is incredibly user-friendly for wetting out fiberglass cloth in layups, it cures clear to showcase the natural beauty of wood and has greater flexibility than 5:1 systems, which makes it a perfect fit for wooden boat, canoe, or kayak builds.
High Performance Epoxy Resin and Hardeners can be measured in one of three ways:
By weight
By volume
Using the TotalBoat 2:1 Epoxy Pumps
High Performance Epoxy Resin System Benefits
Low Viscosity Resin: This low-viscosity epoxy resin saturates fiberglass fibers quickly, easily, and completely to reduce the amount of material, time, and labor needed for layups, laminating, and vacuum bagging.
Three Hardener Speeds to Control Cure Time: Fast, Medium, and Slow High Performance Hardeners allow you to control the pot life and cure times to suit your particular working conditions. For example, the High Performance Fast Hardener cures the fastest at room temperature, and can even cure overnight in low temperatures (minimum 55°F). Even better, you can craft your ideal working properties and pot life by combining the different hardeners with each other, but always remember to maintain the proper ratio of 2 parts resin to 1 part hardener by volume.
More Flexible Cure: The High Performance Epoxy System cures to a more flexible finish than traditional resins, too, making it a better choice for wooden boats and kayaks that typically flex during use, as well as expand and contract with changes in temperature and humidity.
Blush-Free: This non-blushing system eliminates the time consuming washdowns between coats typically needed when using traditional 5:1 resin systems.
Low Odor, Low VOC, and BPA-Free—Better for You and the Environment: Low-VOC, low-odor formula is better for use indoors or outdoors. The low VOC content is especially good for use in areas with environmental restrictions. The cured epoxy surface is also BPA-free, making it safer for potential contact with food.
How to Use TotalBoat High Performance Epoxy Resin
TotalBoat High Performance Epoxy Resin can be combined with any of our TotalBoat High Performance Hardeners (Fast, Medium, and Slow) for exceptional results.
TotalBoat epoxy resin and hardeners are packaged and labeled according to group sizes (A, B, C) to ensure you have enough material for your project at the best value.
Clear-coating applications:High Performance Resin and Hardeners are clear in color and are ideally suited for clear-coating applications.
Resin and Hardeners can be measured either by pouring or by using the calibrated TotalBoat 2:1 Epoxy Pumps.
Personal Safety: For your safety, please be sure to wear protective gloves and eye, face, and clothing protection when working with epoxy resin and hardeners. Also, be sure your work area has adequate ventilation.
USING THE TOTALBOAT 2:1 PUMPS FOR DISPENSING TOTALBOAT HIGH PERFORMANCE EPOXY RESIN AND HARDENERS
The procedure for dispensing TotalBoat High Performance Epoxy Resin and any of the High Performance Hardeners properly is ALWAYS ONE full pump of resin to ONE full pump of hardener. TotalBoat pump sets are calibrated to dispense the accurate mix ratio automatically.
IMPORTANT! Proper mix ratios are critical when working with epoxy resin and hardeners in order to achieve a proper cure.
★ TotalBoat High Performance Epoxy Resin used with TotalBoat High Performance Fast Hardener, TotalBoat High Performance Medium Hardener, or TotalBoat High Performance Slow Hardener is mixed at a ratio of 2 parts resin to 1 part hardener by volume.
TotalBoat 2:1 Epoxy Pumps are calibrated to dispense the proper mix ratio of TotalBoat High Performance Epoxy Resin and TotalBoat High Performance Hardener automatically.
Use the TotalBoat 2:1 Epoxy Pump Set when using TotalBoat High Performance Epoxy Resin with:
TotalBoat High Performance Fast Hardener
TotalBoat High Performance Medium Hardener
TotalBoat High Performance Slow Hardener
This pump set has a blue dot on the resin pump, and a red dot on the hardener pump. These colors correspond to the cap colors for the resin and hardener.
Remember, the procedure for dispensing TotalBoat High Performance Resin and High Performance Hardener properly is always ONE full pump of resin to ONE full pump of hardener.
When using the pump dispensing method for measuring TotalBoat High Performance Epoxy Resin and TotalBoat High Performance Fast Hardener, TotalBoat High Performance Medium Hardener, or TotalBoat High Performance Slow Hardener, use ONLY the TotalBoat 2:1 Epoxy Pumps. These pumps are calibrated to dispense the accurate 2:1 mix ratio automatically. DO NOT use pumps from any other manufacturer; DO NOT use the TotalBoat 5:1 or 3:1 Epoxy Pumps.
NOTE: Adding more hardener does not make the epoxy set faster. It throws off the mix ratio and will not cure properly.
PRIME THE RESIN AND HARDENER PUMPS BEFORE DISPENSING
Push down and release the head of each pump several times until you get a steady stream of liquid without any air pockets.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION: Cold temperatures make the viscosity of resin and hardeners increase and may require more force to pump thicker materials. Excessive force on either one of the plunger heads however, may also cause the pumps to break. Dispensing material in 60-70°F is recommended for optimal pump performance.
In cooler temperatures, warming the containers prior to pumping will decrease the epoxy viscosity, making materials pump more easily.
MIXING
After dispensing resin and hardener into a plastic mixing pot, use a wooden stir stick to mix thoroughly.

I have a 20" crack that occurred over the weekend behind a power trim plate. After removing the plate and hardware I ground out the damaged glass and as much wet wood core as possible leaving a substantial 24" x 3" long empty section 2 1/2" deep. The inner glass is good. My question is which product should I use to fill and then glass over for an outside layer of hull. I would like to reinstall the trim plate, but i'm afraid the pressure might crack it open again. It needs to be very strong

Is the 2:1 food safe after cured?
Jesse
No. Table Top Epoxy is rated food safe.
Paul
What is the best primer to go over 5/1 epoxy with top coat being oil base. What is best when top coat is water base. thanks. mark
mark
Generally, TotalBoat Epoxy Primer, or TotalBoat Total Protect are your best bet regardless of what paint you intend to use.
Paul
What is meant in the description as, "Blush-Free: This non-blushing system eliminates the time consuming washdowns between coats typically needed when using traditional 5:1 resin systems." And why is washing recommended between coats in the Q and A?
Brian
Amine blush is a substance that rises to the surface as epoxy cures and it can interfere with the adhesion of additional coatings. Blush is present in all epoxies but its content in clear epoxy is extremely low. It's possible small pockets of blush can collect on the surface so it is considered best practice to wash the surface with warm water and a Scotch-Brite pad prior to sanding.
Paul
how much color will it hold?
brian
It varies depending on type of tint being used. Always mix epoxy thoroughly before tinting then add color gradually. it is not likely you'll need enough tint to dilute the mixture.
Paul
"hello, the question is for the high performance epoxy 2:1for some reason I have left some Resin. the hardener container is empty. Can I use it? thanks in advance for your adviseIm planning to buy some products with you in a starting February. Varnishes and a new kit of the epoxy, which I found really good (very transparent and no bubbles in absolute), but the point remains about if I can use directly the resin that I have left over: it is too little to buy a container of hardener, but it is too much to dispose of in the trash. Can I use it directly?regardsRufo"
Rufo
No, the resin will not cure. Hardener is available in pint size.
Paul
Should I sand lightly between coats?
Kevin
Light sanding is recommended, followed by an oil-free solvent wipe or aclean cloth moistened with either isopropyl alcohol or plain water to remove dust.
Paul
With what do I apply this product ? Rush, roller....?
Eileen
Depends on what your doing. If your are putting on an initial sealer coat, use a roller.If you are applying it to your inhaler flood coat on "glass" use a squeegee, then roll. Additional coats , I use a roller.Good luck

I have a 5 x 3 foot table top i need to use the epoxy on and wanted to know if one quart would be sufficient for a 1/4 finish?
John
Probably not. Do the math: 1 (liquid) US quart is 57.75 cu in, whereas 5ftx 3ft x 0.25in = 60in x 36in x 0.25in = 540 cu inA quart would only cover an area of 231 sq in at 0.25in, which is more like12in x 19.25in x 0.25in...Good luck!
olyerickson
There is about 58 cubic inches in a quart. A 60" X 36" X 1/4" coating is 540 cubic inches. Would take more than 2 gallons for the bench....
sanches
Mathematically, yes. Would I trust math? No. I would have some more mix in waiting...but, that's me.
7638rwilliams
You could use this product but don't pour a 1/4 at a time because it will get too hot during curing. We have a Table Top Epoxy that you can pour up to 1/8" at a time.If I did the math right it would take 9 quarts for 5' X 3' at 1/4".
JD Tech Team
Hi, What would be the best prep to get this epoxy ready for primer after sanding ? Can denatured alcohol be used for final wipe down before tack cloth ?....thank you
jinxjx
You should scrub it first with hot soapy water to get rid of amine blush THEN sand. It will be easier to sand and will clog the paper less if you wash away the amine blush first.
pmullen503
Hello,I've had a lot of problems with orange peel and fish eye do to residue produced from the curing process of epoxy even after sanding. What has worked for me is a wash down with a soap and water solution to remove all oily contaminants, dawn works great. After drying with a clean lint free rag you can follow up with denatured alcohol.Hope this helps!
aureliomartnz
Denatured alcohol works fine. I had good results just painting over the epoxy without using primer.
bentonja
After the epoxy has cured, wash with water just in case there is an amine blush, sand smooth and clean with acetone or denatured alcohol.

My 1st epoxy pour ever. It went very well thanks to the helpful staff at Total Boat. They were gracious and answered every question I had. I wish there was some way to determine, prior to mixing, how much product is needed for the particular job. If there is such a thing I hope someone can send it to me.Never the less, I had a successful pour (with some waste) and I am very much pleased with the product.

I have used this epoxy to build a dingy and repair/reinforce areas on my sailboat. Due to Covid the kit came without pumps so I have been using mixing cups to measure. I have found that mixing smaller multiple batches gives you more working time than larger amounts, the 8oz cups from Jamestown are perfect and give you a more accurate measurement than the larger cups. Thickening with milled glass fibers and silica works excellent.

The product was ok.

I used the product to replicate valance clips for hanging a plastic valance over sliding drapes. The mistake I made was not using a syringe made for resin to fill the molds. The clips were 3/8" high x 3/8" wide x 5" long on one side x 4" long on the other side. I wish the finished product was stronger. I would recommend this product based on what was it was being used for.

I wanted pure white on table, first layer too transparent over wood. Later found out I needed the white vase epoxy primer first to cover wood color under painted on epoxy. Now I'm excited to put epoxy done soon for final layer.

Cracks in the Cure :(
2
I work with wood & resins, & I decided to try the Total Boat resin to make my blanks that I'll turn on the lathe. Unfortunately, on the two blanks that I made, both of them cracked during the cure :( I haven't seen this happen with any of the other resins that I've used.
