FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• What is the difference between Fast Hardener and Slow Hardener?

  Use the Fast Hardener in cooler temperature conditions to speed up curing time while still providing adequate working time. The Slow Hardener extends the working and cure times in warmer temperatures. Slow Hardener is not recommended for use in cool temperatures.
• Is TotalBoat 5:1 Epoxy UV-protected?

  All epoxies will discolor, turn brittle, and eventually disintegrate upon prolonged UV exposure unless topcoated with a UV-resistant varnish or polyurethane finish. Be sure to sand cured epoxy before topcoating.
• Should I sand epoxy between coats?

  When applying additional coats of resin to dried epoxy, sanding improves the mechanical bond. Before sanding, be sure to remove any amine blush. Once cured, this epoxy can be sanded and shaped.
• Is Traditional 5:1 Epoxy Resin Kits a non-blushing system?

  No, it will blush upon cure. Amine blush is a normal byproduct of curing and is easily removed.
• Can this epoxy resin be thinned?

  Do not thin TotalBoat 5:1 Epoxy; we recommend Penetrating Epoxy if you need a thin or low-viscosity epoxy.
• How should I apply this resin?

  You can apply epoxy resin with a brush, roller, or syringe. It can also be poured and spread with an epoxy spreader.
• Does TotalBoat Traditional Epoxy dry clear?

  TotalBoat 5:1 epoxy cures to a slight amber color. It is not intended for clear coat applications. We recommend High Performance 2:1 Epoxy for applications where the clearest possible finish is important
• How many square feet will a one-gallon system cover?

  Using typical 6 oz fiberglass cloth, a gallon of resin will cover about 10 sq yards or 90 sq ft of cloth.
• Is this resin compatible with fillers?

  Yes. All common fillers like cabosil, wood flour, milled glass fibers, microballoons, and others may be added to 5:1 Epoxy to create compounds used for fillets, fairing, bonding, and gap filling.
• What is the minimum temperature suggested for working with this product?

  The minimum recommended temperature for the Fast Hardener is 40°F. The minimum recommended temperature for the Slow Hardener is 60°F.
• Is TotalBoat Traditional 5:1 Epoxy compatible with other epoxy systems?

  Yes, TotalBoat 5:1 Epoxy can be used interchangeably with other traditional 5:1 marine epoxy systems. Important: Do not use TotalBoat pumps with other brands. Be sure to mix by volume only.
• What is the working time?

  Pot life ranges from 12 minutes at 75°F for Fast Hardener, to 20 minutes at 75°F for Slow Hardener. Set time ranges from 6 hours at 75°F for Fast Hardener, to 10 hours at 75°F for Slow Hardener. Cure time ranges from 1-4 days at 75°F for Fast Hardener and Slow Hardener. For extra long pot life and working time in hot weather, use TotalBoat Tropical Epoxy.
• Will epoxy still cure if mixed at an incorrect ratio?

  No, unlike polyester resin, epoxies require a very specific resin to hardener ratio in order to cure properly. You will need to remove the epoxy and start over. Solvents like acetone may be used to remove the uncured resin.
• How should I properly store TotalBoat epoxy?

  Store at 60-90°F in a dry place. After use, tightly reseal all containers. Store products on a raised surface off the floor during cold weather and avoid storing near outside walls or doors. Properly stored, this epoxy has no specific shelf life.
