Marine Tex Fiberglass Repair

[@UrjunkMygold]

Nice video. Love this stuff! I actually knew the man who originally invented and produced Marine Tex and worked summers in their factory in Chelsea MA when I was young.

I’ve been using Marine Tex for years for everything! But, I mix up small batches with a 5>1 ratio, 5 parts resin to 1 part hardener. So, you can mix very small batches and the jar will last a long time (for small fixes like your lag bolt here!) Nice and clear video, thanks.

We can use some of this on our boat. We have a loose rain on the bridge. Definitely going to give this a shot this spring.

another excellent how to / boat maintenance project at home & a excellent idea, on having a box or 2 available on your boat , in case of quick fix job , while out underway !!!! Excellent Tom , Keep em coming ..............

I think if you chopped up some fiber like a 1/2 long and mix real good then add harder and mix really good and I have done this many times to fix striped out lag bolts in wood. And have got fiber glass and resin and do the same thing and works great .

Very clear explanation thanks

Don't use carboard it soaks up to much of the hardener.

That’s a great point!

Someone thinking like me!

[@CaptainMike1965]

Nice job, good to know.

Next time don't mix on cardboard... it will absorb any type of liquid hardener and cream hardeners which can throw off your mix ratio

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Roger that. Didn’t think of it at the time. Better to use a waxed paper plate or plastic.

Can you buff and polish marine tex?

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

The white marine tex has a surprisingly glossy and smooth finish when dry. It can be sanded and shaped like fiberglass so I believe so.

Holy waste of an expensive product. 1/10th of the bottle would have been plenty.
