EASY KNIFING & SANDING
Marine formulation, gap filling pre gelled epoxy structural adhesive for gluing clean, sound substrates. A long open time with cure overnight, even at low temperatures, aids quick turnaround. Particularly suitable for bonding dissimilar substrates. A smooth and creamy paste with excellent hold-up on vertical surfaces.
A versatile epoxy structural adhesive available in an easy to use one to one ratio, by volume or weight.
Once you have used a pre gelled easymix 1:1 epoxyglue,
it will be very hard to go back to messy, off ratio 3 part mixing.
(epoxy resin + hardener + glue powder)
BENEFITS
Not much dearer than mixing your own in material cost, but considerably
cheaper when ease and speed of application are considered.
Easymix, pre gelled similar consistency resin and hardener, 1:1 ratio by
volume or weight.
Throw away glue powder. Eliminate messy off ratio 3 part mixing. Eyeballing
is easier with Easymix 1:1. Only mix enough for the job.
Non-shrink, non-slump, high impact resistance.
Non staining, solventless.
Very high cohesive (internal) strength, essential in gap filling glues.
USE FOR
Timber boat building. Also steel, aluminium and GRP
As a construction epoxyglue
High strength coving (filleting) hole and gap filling
Fabrication of wooden chairs and furniture subject to high stress
When mixed, it is a similar shade to light coloured timbers. Varnish over without spoiling the natural timber effect.
Will cure within 12 hours to a reinstatement condition at temperatures down to 5°C. Full cure approx. 3-7 days. Ideally in winter, a cover and an external source of heat should be used to warm the immediate work vicinity.
Not designed as a stand alone product below the waterline, but will give exceptional water resistance. Overcoat with a pure epoxy, EPG 4:1 laminating system.
PREPARATION
Timber : DO NOT use on Boric treated timber. Partial loss of adhesion can result. Plane and sand surface to a fair condition. Degrease surface if necessary; this is important with oily timbers such as teak. Cross hatch sand with 100 grit paper.
Steel : Degrease surface if necessary. Abrasive blast clean to give a sharp profile. Vacuum away all blasting dust. Alternatively abrade with medium sandpaper. Alternatively, degrease and power wire brush or metal disc clean to bright steel or as best as possible.
Aluminium : Degrease and abrasive blast clean with sand to give a sharp profile. Alternatively use a proprietary aluminium etch cleaner as per the instructions on the bottle.
GRP : Degrease and cross hatch sand with 60-100 grit paper. Polyester must be fully cured. Take special care as surface wax may be present and must be removed. Can result in partial loss of adhesion.
Custom wood, Particle board : (Bench tops, etc) Sand as per timber.
Measure out equal quantities by volume or weight onto a flat board and mix thoroughly. Apply immediately to the clean, prepared substrate. Do not alter the ratio or you will experience a slower cure and lower physical strengths.
Apply with a clean spatula or notched trowel to both prepared surfaces and
clamp lightly together. DO NOT over clamp as glue starvation may result.
At 20oC, you will have 20 - 30 minutes working time.
Discard not required excess as it will polymerise. Never return mixed product
to the container.
Coverage is one square metre per litre at one millimetre film thickness.
Being inert once completely cured, will accept all top coat systems. Degrease and sand if necessary. Check top coat product instructions for suitability.

Use Epoxy solvent for clean up of uncured resin on brushes and rollers.
Use disposable containers and spatulae.
Never add solvent to EPOXYGLUE as this will become entrapped in the cure and considerably weaken it.
EPOXYGLUE will keep in excess of two years if stored in tightly sealed
original containers.
Keep in a cool place. Do not store near boilers or other sources of heat.
Do not store in direct sunlight.
CAUTION Because of its consistency, this is an unfiltered product. Whilst the raw materials conform to narrow specifications, some discreet particles may be evident. These will sand easily, and overcoating with a 2-component epoxy laminating resin or sanding sealer is recommended.
Contains no isocyanate. Epoxy resins and amine resin hardener constitute
the reactive components of this system. Use disposable plastic gloves to
avoid skin contamination. If resin comes into contact with skin, wash uncured
resin off with soap and water. Epoxy solvent should never be used to wash
hands. Wear safety glasses to avoid eye contamination.
Can cause topical dermatitis if in prolonged contact with skin. Wear safety
glasses to avoid eye contamination.

EASY TROWELLING & SANDING
EPOXYBOG Fairing Compounds are two unique and novel epoxy products for
marine and industrial fairing and filling.
The two grades are :-
EPOXYBOG xtra LITE a perfect low density,
easy trowelling fairing compound for large areas. Sands easily and retains
a feather edge. Designed for commercial fairing of large areas. It still
trowels & sands very easily. . Perfect for coving (filleting) also.
EPOXYBOG super CREAMY A medium density
epoxy fairing compound. Similar in consistency to automotive polyester filler.
Has very good trowelling characteristics, and when cured, sands easily and
has good strength They offer superior application properties and cured performance
to all fairing products currently available.
Designed for fine fairing of boat hulls with minimal slump, but may be
used in any filling or coving application. Have been formulated to exhibit
similar fairing characteristics to light weight polyester systems but to
have the cured superior adhesion, water resistance, and strengths of an epoxy.
Excellent bonding ability allows it to be used on most substrates. Will
cure in thick film with negligible exotherm and shrinkage to a hard, resilient
mass, which may be milled, sanded, filed or drilled with ease.
Once you have used a pre gelled easymix 1:1 EPOXYBOG, it will be very hard to go back to messy, off ratio 3 part mixing. (epoxy resin + hardener + filler powder)
BENEFITS
Very easy to mix and apply.
Not much dearer than mixing your own in material cost, but considerably
cheaper when ease and speed of application are considered.
Easymix, pre gelled similar consistency resin and hardener, 1:1 ratio by
volume or weight.
Throw away glue powder. Eliminate messy off ratio 3 part mixing. Eyeballing
is easier with Easymix 1:1.
Only mix enough for the job.
Non-shrink, non-slump, non staining, solventless
Excellent hydrophobic tendency. An inherent water repellency allows this
product to be used below the waterline when over coated with a pure epoxy.
Low amount of inorganic silica in the mixture means greater safety during sanding operations.
Planes and sands easily with little wear on blades and no clogging of sandpaper.
USE FOR
Purpose designed for fairing and filling in marine and industrial applications
Construction repair work
As a moulding material for applying shapes, coving's, (fillets) etc
NOTE
These systems do not cure like polyesters (5-10 minutes) but requires approximately
twelve hours to sandable state. This is necessary as the slowness is inherent
to control exotherm with negligible shrinkage, and allow a high degree of
adhesion to the substrate.
Not designed as a stand alone product below the waterline, but will give exceptional water resistance. Overcoat with a pure epoxy, EPG 4:1 laminating system. A good rule for below the waterline is:
Laminating resin onto hull first
Fair with EPG Fairing Cream
Laminating resin over Fairing Cream
PREPARATION
Timber : Plane and sand surface to a fair condition.
Degrease surface if necessary; this is important with oily timbers such
as teak. Cross hatch sand with 100 grit paper.
Steel : Degrease surface if necessary. Abrasive blast clean to give a sharp profile. Vacuum away all blasting dust. Alternatively abrade with medium sandpaper. Alternatively, degrease and power wire brush or metal disc clean to bright steel or as best as possible.
Aluminium : Degrease and abrasive blast clean with sand to give a sharp profile. Alternatively use a proprietary aluminium etch cleaner as per the instructions given with the product. Alodine is a well known brand.
GRP : Degrease and cross hatch sand with 60-100 grit paper. Polyester must be fully cured. Take special care as surface wax may be present and must be removed.
Custom wood, Particle board (Bench tops, etc) : Sand as per timber.
Measure out equal quantities by volume or weight onto a flat board and
mix thoroughly. Use a wide blade spatula and avoid entrapping air. Mix thoroughly
to an even colour.
Do not alter the ratio or you will experience a slower cure and lower physical
strengths.
Apply immediately to the clean, prepared substrate.
Use a polyethylene scraper to wipe the EPOXYBOG onto the surface in thin
layers. The wiping motion removes air bubbles.
The exceptional rheological properties allow the mixed material to be applied
to vertical and inverted surfaces in thick film.
Working time is excellent, so larger mixes are possible.

Do Not interchange super Creamy components
with xtra Lite and vise versa. Cure will not be as thorough.
Do Not add solvent to the mixed EPOXYBOG as
this will be entrapped in the cured system, and will weaken it.
CAUTION Because of its’ consistency, this is
an unfiltered product. Whilst the raw materials conform to narrow specifications,
some discreet particles may be evident. These will sand easily, and overcoating
with a 2-component epoxy sanding sealer is recommended.
EPOXYBOG is a technical system, and care must be exercised in its' use.
Use epoxy solvent thinners for clean up of uncured and partially cured resin on utensils.
Ideally, use disposable containers and spatulae.
Keep in tightly sealed original containers in a cool place.
Do not store near boilers or other sources of heat.
Do not store in direct sunlight.
Epoxy resins and their curing agents will cause skin sensitization if in
continuous contact. Use disposable plastic gloves to avoid skin contamination.
Epoxy solvent thinners should never be used to wash hands.
If resin comes into contact with skin, wash uncured resin off with soap and water.
Wear safety glasses to avoid eye contamination.
EPOXY MARINE
An ambient curing marine, laminating epoxy system for wet lay-up techniques
in wooden boat fibreglassing.
Two distinct hardeners, each combined with the one standard epoxy resin
provide differing open time and cure periods for most working situations.
BENEFITS
Very low viscosity, high functionality, for superior wet out on timber,
glass and exotic cloths
Low diluent levels in the resin ensure superior cured strengths
Can be combined with epoxy Glue Powder to form high strength epoxy glue
Can be combined with epoxy Fairing Powder to form an epoxy fairing compound
USE FOR
Timber boat building. Also steel, aluminium and GRP
Osmosis repair and barrier coating below the waterline
As a construction epoxy glue
Marine and construction coving (filleting) hole and gap filling
Note : For a clear bright finish on timber, use EPG's CLR 2:1 system.
The Fast (winter) hardener can be used during winter months, or when the
ambient temperature is below 15°C.
Not recommended for use below 8°C.
The Slow (summer) hardener is for use when the ambient temperature is above
15°C.
Ideally suited for use between 15°C - 25°C.
| Mixing ratio | Resin | Hardener | Gel time (100gm mass) | |
| Fast (winter) system | 100 | : | 25 by volume | 20minutes @ 15°C |
| Slow (summer) system | 100 | : | 25 by volume | 25 minutes @ 20°C |
Do not alter the ratios as both systems are optimised for this ratio. A weakening of all physical attributes will occur if altered.
Will cover approximately two and a quarter square metres when used with
6oz (200gm) glass cloth.
Will cover approximately six to seven square metres when applied without glass cloth.
Note! : Never thin with epoxy solvent as this will remain in the cured film
and weaken the coating.
PREPARATION
Timber : Plane and sand surface to a fair condition. Degrease surface if necessary; this is important with oily timbers such as teak. Cross hatch sand with 100 grit paper.
Steel : Degrease surface if necessary. Abrasive blast clean to give a sharp profile. Vacuum away all blasting dust. Alternatively abrade with medium sandpaper. Alternatively, degrease and power wire brush or metal disc clean to bright steel or as best as possible.
Aluminium : Degrease and abrasive blast clean with sand to give a sharp profile. Alternatively use a proprietary aluminium etch cleaner as per the instructions on the bottle.
GRP : Degrease and cross hatch sand with 60-100 grit paper. Polyester must be fully cured. Take special care as surface wax may be present, and must be removed.
Custom wood, Particle board : (Bench tops, etc) Sand as per timber.
Measure out the correct quantities by volume into a disposable container and mix thoroughly paying attention to combining the material on the sides and bottom.
Apply immediately to the clean, prepared substrate.
The mixed system will start an irreversible exothermic (heat producing)
reaction. This will become noticeable and uncontrollable within the container
for product not used within the stated time.
The thin film cure on the work piece, not being in mass, is dependant on
the ambient temperature and could take 6 - 24 hours.
Apply with clean tools
If gluing, clamp lightly together. DO NOT over clamp as glue starvation may result.
Discard not required excess as it will polymerise.
Coverage is one square metre per litre at one millimetre film thickness.
This laminating system, being inert once completely cured, will accept all topcoat systems. Degrease and sand if necessary. Check topcoat product instructions for suitability.
Pack Sizes
| 1lt resin | + | 250ml hardener | = | 1.25 litre pack |

and water. Epoxy cleaning solvent should never be used to wash hands. Wear
safety glasses to avoid eye contamination.
Can cause topical dermatitis if in prolonged contact with skin. Wear safety
glasses to avoid eye contamination.
EPOXY
TIMBER SEALERAn effective method of sealing & densifying timber, and stopping mould. Penetrates deeply into the timber then sets hard. Ideal for rotten areas that can be rebuilt rather than replaced.
An excellent barrier coating for all marine situations. Use
for sealing timber in home building areas where timber might rot.
Contains a broad-spectrum biocide which inhibits ALGAL, FUNGAL, and YEAST
micro organisms.
(A coatings specific biocide that is considered NOT eco toxic as it is biodegradable
below the minimum inhibitory concentration).
Overcoat with all paint systems after it is thoroughly dry, provided the
surface is sanded and degreased. It can be used as a top coat in interior
situations and saturates all clean dry timbers.
Exterior applications should be over coated with single pack alkyd or two
pack urethane systems to avoid ultra violet surface chalking.
APPEARANCE
Unfilled very low viscosity resin and hardener of clear honey colour.
MIXING RATIO
Use one part resin to one part hardener by volume. The correct ratios must
be adhered to. Varying these will not speed up or slow the mixture, but
will decrease the cured physical properties.
POT LIFE
100 gm mass at 20°C, 3 - 4 hours. Do not use below 12°C or in high
humidity. If applying in a confined area, ensure there is an adequate airflow
exhausting to the outdoors.
APPLICATION
Designed for multiple coating to achieve a full impermeable surface barrier.
Timber to be treated must be clean and dry. Degrease oily timbers such as
teak, if necessary. Check suitability of treated timbers with the timber
supplier. May be thinned for initial coating with epoxy solvent, up to 10%
by volume. This will assist penetration. Successive coats should be applied
“neat”. Allow each coat to “tack off” before next coat is applied. If previous
coat is completely cured, then thoroughly sand with 180-280 grit sandpaper
before re-application. Approximately three coats will be required for effective
sealing of the timber. Once cured, fill low areas and joints with EPOXYBOG,
sand smooth, fibreglass, if necessary, and top coat.
CAUTION: This is not a gap filling product. If over coating with a paint
system, priming is not required.
COVERAGE
When applied directly to bare timber, without diluting, coverage should
exceed ten square metres per litre. Subsequent coats will not soak in to
the same extent and will cover up to 50% greater area. (15 square metres.)
The diluted mixture will extend the coverage rate slightly per mixed litre.
Do not attempt to put on heavy coats as the mixture will sag.
CLEAN UP
Use epoxy solvent to remove uncured or partially cured resin mixture from
brushes and rollers. Use disposable containers and stirring spatulae.
STORAGE
Timber Sealer and Primer is flammable. Do not store near boilers or other
sources of heat. Do not store in direct sunlight. Shelf life is greater
than twelve months. Keep in tightly sealed original containers.
