Description
Our Resin System is a high quality resin which is popular for lamination with fiberglass, carbon fiber, kevlar or any type of reinforcement. The syrup-like consistency will generate fast wet-out and easy application of any reinforcement. This Resin System will produce a low viscosity, semi-clear, low odor epoxy that is not only ideal for layup use, but also as a sealer of porous substrates such as wood because of its penetrating power. You can easily make an adhesive, fairing putty or filler when combining the Resin System with a product from our selection of powder fillers.Â

Description of Epoxy Hardeners
All working times(pot life) are based upon an optimum working temperature of about 80 degrees F. Temperatures variations will greatly affect curing times, and when below 65F can sometimes double curing times. Other factors that affect epoxy curing can be moisture and humidity, as well as the thickness of lamination.
Description of Times Shown
* Pot Life: Represents the maximum amount of time that the mixture can remain in your pot. Once applied to your working surface(usually in thin layers) this will greatly increase the time you have before the epoxy sets.
* Set Time: This is the amount of time after the epoxy is applied in a thin film that it will arrive at a gel state, still wet, but no longer a liquid. To recoat without sanding between coats you must reapply after this point but before the drying time has completed.
* Drying Time: At this point the epoxy will be ready to sand and has reached about 90% of its cured hardness. Epoxy still might remain a bit flexible at this point but will complete 100% curing over the following 1-5 days.

Epoxy worked great! I built a 16 foot canoe and epoxied the whole outside and had plenty left over.dries clear and hard,really strengthened the bottom and sealed it up nice.

I have been using this epoxy for over two years now laminating large spheres for my outdoor sculptures. It has met all my expectations for durability and strength.

To date, I’ve run over three gallons of your epoxy in various aspects of building a sailboat. Never a problem with the mixing ratio and the drying times; works like a charm; great value and prompt service (local pickup). I’ve recommended you to my neighbors for their epoxy needs. Thanks!

This is BY FAR the least expensive epoxy we could find.
Received several days prior to when it was supposed to arrive.

Top quality epoxy. Lays down well,nice and sticky on application so the fabric drapes properly. Dries nice and hard. Very thick resin so it takes a long time to fill a gallon jug. Definitely a pro level product. Price beats the other 5 suppliers I have used.

Great value low blush epoxy.

I love this epoxy and this is the best value IMO, I love the way it dries clear and the working time is longer than the other brands. I also love the video how to pour the resin from the 5gal container.

This epoxy is the best. I have used 2 gallons so far and for the price it can’t be beat. I will be getting more soon.

Great product and price is reasonable. Just found the pumps to be worthless.

This resin is easy to use. Flows well and finishes with a nice clear. Little or no tint visible. Have had no occurrence of yellowing since I first started using it 3 years ago. I highly recommend this for any laminating project.

I’ve used this epoxy on a number of boat projects, always with great results. A great value compared to epoxies for sale at the local West Marine.

I’ve been using this epoxy for compression molding carbon fiber parts that have 10 to 12 layers and am very happy with it. I get better results using this than the more expensive marine epoxies, probably due to this epoxy being designed for what I’m using it for. This epoxy cures clear and hard, sands well, wets out well and results in a rigid part.

Easy 2:1 epoxy that is very consistent.

Used with microballons to make a adhesive to bond foam to wood for cowl plug. This epoxy resin is fantastic. The next day ot was fully cured and ready for sanding. Temperature was around 70 degrees in shop. Great value will buy again.
rene b (verified owner) –
I’ve been using this resin and hardener for some time and it works very well in laminating carbon fiber cloth material. In my experience this product cures reasonably quickly and always stays clear….never turning yellowish. It’s also a great value for the money usually lasting me for several projects.

Easy to use. Works well with carbon for a bicycle frame repair.
Joe Barnes (verified owner) –
Great product. I think it out performs west system. Time will tell. I used to laminate a new deck and new gunwales on my southern skimmer a year ago. So far so good! Very strong!

Good system. Great value. Works for casting as well as laminating cloth and carbon fiber. Very clear. Illstreet service has been excellent.
Michael Milligan (verified owner) –
Good stuff, resin is pretty thick but the hardener thins it out. Great for laminating, making putty, etc. Great price.
David Allen (verified owner) –
Great product and value. Thickness makes mixing and measuring a challenge, but the hardener thins it out to a reasonable consistency for actual use.
