Total Boat Crystal Clear Epoxy Kits are perfect for wooden boat, canoe, or kayak builders, as well as anyone looking for professional grade finishes that showcase the beauty of wood. Regular marine epoxy / hardener combinations often turn cloudy or cure with a layer of amine blush that must be scrubbed or washed off. Kits pair Total Boat traditional epoxy resin with new Crystal Clear hardener, for an extra clear natural wood finish that won’t cure cloudy or blush. Included mixing pumps ensure 1 pump of hardener and 1 pump of resin for the correct 3: 1 ratio. Its lower viscosity means easier, faster wet out. Crystal Clear has slightly longer pot life, work, set, and cure times compared to resin paired with slow hardener, ideal for boat building or other large projects. Combine with fillers to create a high-strength adhesive or a wood-colored fairing & filleting compound that sands easily. Exceptionally clear cure is also perfect for carbon fiber pieces. Looking for professional varnish results? Instead of ten, twelve, or more coats of varnish with tedious sanding between each coat, start with Crystal Clear. A few thin coats over bare wood seals and stabilizes exterior wood, minimizing the shrinking and swelling that leads to finish checking and rot. Crystal Clear under varnish provides a moisture-resistant barrier and the foundation for an incredibly durable finish. A few coats varnish over Crystal Clear will provide the finish depth and build thickness as 10+ coats of varnish alone. Special UV-inhibiting additives enhance varnish clarity and durability. Compare to West System 105 resin/207 special hardener, Fiber Glast 3500, Raka 350 Clear Coat Epoxy, and System Three Clear Coat. Available in quart and gallon kits. Quart kit includes 30 ounces of epoxy and 10 ounces of hardener. Gallon kit includes 127 oz of resin with 42. 3 oz of hardener. All Total Boat products are developed by boaters, for boaters.
