Hello! It’s holding up well. We’ve had a few scratches on the white where we’ve done touch up’s. We’ve waxed the boat each year which brings back a nice shine. Overall very happy with it’s progress.

Hi Dan, Can the West System epoxy be pressure infused into wood strips so it gets deep into the wood fibers for the ultimate waterproof and permanent protection against rot. I would be doing top coats of UV stabilized varnish or poly as this wood will be submerged in water for days to weeks at a time.
@chriscourey22865 ай бұрын
Hello! Thanks for your question. The way I would approach this is to heat up your wood prior to applying the epoxy so it’s absorbed deeper into the wood. That with multiple coats will give you a strong water resistant barrier. I think they will be fine to be submerged for extended periods as long as they are completely wrapped in epoxy. One of our other videos where we build an end table uses the heated wood method.

That looks horrible. Why wouldn't you get a $45 hvlp from Harbor Freight? Less work ( no sanding between coats) and would look pro.

Could the hull stay unpainted from then on? My boat has bottom paint but it’s very old. I trailer my boat and I don’t leave it in a marina, only when I fish.
@chriscourey22868 ай бұрын
You could but this method might be aggressive for what you want to do as it leaves the gelcoat pitted afterwards and it would be susceptible to absorbing water or having algae stick to it. If your objective is to remove the old paint and the trailer the boat I would recommend sanding it off starting with a low grit paper and working your way up to something higher once the paint is gone and you start to see the gelcoat. I would start with 40 or 60 grit and end with 180 or 200 once you reach the gel coat. As the paint is removed start to increase the grit so you don't dig into the gelcoat too much. If you're so inclined, you could wet sand and polish the bottom afterwards to bring some of the original shine back.

Would this stuff work to fill in like huge chunks taking out of a pine door? My dog crewed huge chucks out of corners of my pine doors and want to use something to reform corners and blend it back in with pine so it doesnt stand out.
@chriscourey22868 ай бұрын
I think it would be difficult to build it back up without it being noticeable. In theory it could work with enough layers and sanding to form it but you could notice the difference depending on the finish for the rest of the door as well as the depth of the chew marks.

I have some trim work on my companionway entrance that people have leaned against and it's cracked or broken. I wanted to glue it and then was thinking of using epoxy to make the repair stronger. Is this the method you would recommend for that type of application? I would then paint it with the same marine varnish I use on the rest of the teak. Thanks!
@chriscourey22868 ай бұрын
Yes that would work well. The epoxy doesn't like to be in the sun on its own so your varnish will provide a UV filter. We recommend the Epifanes 2-Part Clear Gloss but if you can't find that a comparable marine varnish should work well.
@sgaroutte Жыл бұрын
So, Sikkens states on their website not to sand in-between coats. They don't want you to remove the UV protection which requires thicker coats.

Looks like you were mixing the 105 to 207 at a 1:1 ratio. But the can specifies 3:1 . Why the difference? Also, you were stirring the mixture vigorously, how do you prevent bubbles in the allied resin?
@DansNauticalShop2 жыл бұрын
Hi Rick - the pumps we’re using are made by West System and they measure the ratio for us. So it’s 1 pump to 1 pump to get the proper mix ratio. I can’t measure for the life of me so I always use the pumps! I have a habit of mixing vigorously to make sure it’s mixed properly and I probably create extra bubbles. For the application I try to put it on as thin as possible and tip the bubbles out after with a brush.

@DansNauticalShop3 жыл бұрын
Hi Barbara - we recommend using a marine grade varnish if your epoxied surface will be outside as the epoxy on its own is strong but doesn’t have a UV filter, essentially a sunscreen. Without it, the sun will eventually discolour the epoxy and break it down. The varnish also has the added benefit of adding a smooth gloss or semi gloss finish to your project.
