Avoid using product in direct sunlight.

 The ideal temperature for use of this product is 77°F. Best results for this product can be obtained at temperatures between 70°F and 85°F, in a clean, dry, dust-free environment.

 It is generally not recommended to wet out fiberglass over 1/8 in thickness. Use of more than 1/8 may generate excessive heat. Allow layer to tack up, but not fully cure, prior to adding additional layers.

 General Purpose Polyester resin is a standard grade of a formulated product. This unsaturated polyester resin is designed to wet out the glass reinforcement rapidly without drainage. The rapid wetting will save time in laying up laminates.

 This is an economical resin, designed for hand lay up of boats, panels and other industrial fabrication of demanding quality.

 If sanding is required to apply more fiberglass, use 36, 24 or 16 grit. Low grits will create deeper scratches, allowing the new layer to adhere better to the existing one. Be sure to clean the surface before applying another layer.

 To apply gelcoat over the resin, prep the surface with 80 grit sandpaper. To apply primer, prep the surface with 220 grit sandpaper. To apply paint, prep the surface with 320 grit sandpaper.

Directions for Use:
Step 1: Choose the appropriate volume for your project. The type of fiberglass materials used will determine the amount of resin needed.
Step 2: Make sure to agitate or stir the product thoroughly before use.
Step 3: Mix in 1 to 2% MEKP. Please refer to Catalyst Concentration Chart for quantities.
Step 4: Thinner fiberglass can easily be wet through. To thoroughly wet out heavier materials, apply resin first to one side, then flip the glass over to wet out the other side. Use paint-style rollers to distribute resin quickly.
Step 5: Roll each layer with a glass roller to remove air. The fiberglass will go completely transparent when it is adequately wet.
Step 6: Add sanding aid (Product #123833) to the final coat to allow a full cure and a tack-free surface. Refer to Sanding Aid Chart for quantities.

 FGCI Superbond Epoxy Adhesive is a two-component, 100% solid system designed for adhesive bonding and the fitting and fairing of a wide variety of substrates.

 The material features a highly thixotropic, paste-like consistency, which hangs well in thick sections on vertical and overhead surfaces.

 The material cures to a hard, blush-free, amber- colored, high-strength, moisture-resistant plastic with excellent adhesive properties.

 Additional recoating of this material should be done before the material is thoroughly cured.

 If the material has cured hard and tack-free, a light sanding and solvent wash is advisable before recoating.

 Epoxy cures faster at higher temperatures and in thicker layered applications.


Directions for Use:
Step 1: Required prep will vary according to application surface:
Ceramics, Composites, Plastics & Wood  Must be oil free and sanded 80 grit or rougher.
Glass  Must be sanded with 220 grit or lower until shine is removed.
Metals  All metals must be carefully degreased with trisodium phosphate (TSP). Depending on the type of metal, prep work may vary.
Step 2: Be sure to clean the application site, removing all dust and debris.
Step 3: FGCIs Superbond Base Resin may be used with any of the three Activators, which differ in curing time:
Standard Activator
Medium Activator
Fast Activator
Please refer to Properties Chart for gel time.
Step 4: Mix at a 1:1 ratio by volume or weight, equal parts Base and Activator.
Step 5: Stir thoroughly, being sure to scrape sides and bottom of container. For best results, do not mix more than a quart at a time.

 Avoid using this product in direct sunlight.

 It is not recommended to wet out fiberglass over 1/8 in thickness. Use of more than 1/8 may generate excessive heat. Allow layer to tack up (but not fully cure) prior to pouring next layer.

 Boatyard Polyester Resin is a non-specified resin that contains different types of polyester resins and wax. Material may cure hard and tack-free due to wax. If so, product will need to be sanded prior to adding another layer in order to promote good bonding.

 This is an economical laminating resin for repairs on boats, small parts production, autos, etc. Not recommended for use below the waterline.

 If sanding is required to apply more fiberglass, use 36, 24, or 16 grit. Low grits will create deeper scratches to make the new layer adhere better to the existing one. Be sure to clean the surface before applying another layer.

 To apply gelcoat, prep the surface with 80 grit sandpaper. To apply primer, prep the surface with 220 grit sandpaper. To apply paint, prep the surface with 320 grit sandpaper.

Our 3 to 1 Epoxy Activator forms an easy to use 2 component 100 % solids epoxy system when mixed with either of our available epoxy resins in a ratio of three parts Resin ( A side ) to one part Activator (B side ) by volume. It Is significantly faster setting then our 2 to 1 system with improved chemical and solvent resistance and generally improved physical properties. When mixed with our Standard Epoxy Resin it forms a thicker high viscosity system more suited to adhesive bonding and casting applications as it will generally form a tougher stronger plastic with better adhesion and very good resistance to hydrocarbon fuels and ethanol. When used with our Laminating Epoxy Resin it will form a thinner liquid more appropriate for wetting out fiberglass and other reinforcements it will have a slightly longer Gel Time and form a plastic with more flexibility, slightly less solvent resistance and lower HDT. Both systems cure to a tough, hard, blush free, amber colored plastic, with good physical properties, chemical and solvent resistance, excellent resistance to water and good adhesion to wood, glass, metals, and most other plastics.

As with all adhesive compounds bonding surfaces should be clean and free dirt or grease.

  Our 5 to 1 Laminating system is a two component 100 % solids Epoxy resin system designed for coating, bonding, and the lamination of glass, carbon, or kevlar fibers as used in the production of composite plastic products. This material features an easy to use 5 to 1 by volume mix ratio that is (5 Parts Epoxy Resin to 1 Part of Activator by volume such as liquid ounces, pints, quarts, or liters). The material itself features easy wet out, rapid cure, and good adhesion to a variety of materials including wood, glass, metals and most other plastics. The material cures to a very rigid, hard, amber colored plastic, with a high Heat Distortion Temperature and will have good physical properties, good resistance to water, and excellent resistance to chemicals and solvents. Thin films cured in open air may blush . 
As with all adhesive type compounds proper surface preparation is essential for good bond strength, recoating of the material should be accomplished before the material is fully cured after which sanding and solvent wash may be necessary for good secondary bonding.
