Works with: Epoxy, Polyester or Vinyl Ester
Mix rate: 2–10% by weight
Cure speed: Yes, using this filler will change the cure time of your resin (making it faster)

Quick Tips:

  1. Mix resin and catalyst first (vinyl ester/polyester) or resin and hardener (epoxy)
  2. Add filler in scoops or handfuls, stirring as you go
  3. Stir smooth and steady.  Figure-eight with a stick or slow drill mixer
  4. Mix to a peanut butter consistency for fairing and filling
  5. Fill gaps just enough so a little would squeeze out if clamped
  6. Slightly overfill edges.  You’ll sand it back for a smooth finish

Things our customers have used this product for:

  • Boat fairing and hull smoothing
  • Fibreglass repairs

A few words on safety:

  • Wear gloves, eye protection, and a dust mask.  This stuff is fine powder and you don’t want it up your nose or in your eyes.
  • Work in a well-ventilated area.  It’s only fun until you’re in your forties and your lungs and ears don’t work right any more.
  • Mix in small batches.  Too much in a concentrated area can mean a smoking pot of resin.
