TotalBoat 4-Minute Fast Setting Epoxy
- Clear, fast-setting 2-part epoxy adhesive
- Convenient syringe dispenses correct 1:1 ratio automatically
- Sets in 4 minutes, no clamping required
- Moisture- and solvent-resistant
- Resistant to diesel, oil, gasoline, and water
TotalBoat 4-Minute Fast Setting Epoxy is a clear, two-part epoxy adhesive that bonds metal, fiberglass, many plastics, ceramics, glass, and more. This moisture- and solvent-resistant epoxy system is suitable for use in all temperatures and cures quickly for fast repairs and larger projects alike. The calibrated syringe automatically dispenses the correct ratio of resin and hardener for reliable bonds and minimal waste.
Compatible Substrates
- Fabric
- Fiberglass
- Glass
- Metals
- Rubber
- Most plastics
- Wood
Note: Not for use with polyethylene or polypropylene.
Surface Preparation
- Abrade the surfaces that are to be bonded.
- Remove all surface contaminants such as dust, grease, oil, water, or wax.
Application
- Apply between 50°F and 90°F.
- Remove the mixing stick from between the black plungers.
- Point the syringe tip upward before removing the cap.
- Do not remove the cap until all air bubbles have risen to the top.
- Snap off the tip and save it for reuse as a cap.
- Dispense equal amounts of resin and hardener onto cardboard or plastic by slowly depressing the plunger.
- To stop flow, pull the plunger back slightly after dispensing.
- Mix thoroughly for 1–2 minutes using the provided mixing stick.
- Total working time is approximately 4 minutes, including mixing time.
- Hold bonded items in place for 8–10 minutes while the epoxy sets.
- Full cure is achieved in 24 hours.
- Wipe syringe tips clean and replace cap after use.
Exothermic Reaction!
Mixing the epoxy resin and hardener components together will create an exothermic reaction that generates heat. The more epoxy that is mixed, the hotter the mixture will get.
