Submarine Underwater Epoxy Paste Adhesive, 8oz Kit

Submarine is a general use, epoxy paste compound that bonds to wet surfaces by displacing water from the substrate. Substrates include: concrete, stone, masonry, glass, wood, aluminum, stainless steel, high carbon, and mild steel, and can be used as a general-purpose adhesive or patching compound. Reinforcement materials such as fiberglass cloth work well for applications requiring additional strength, but is not intended for bonding to plastics, copper, brass, or galvanized metal. Easy to sand, fill, and drill, our epoxy paste also features a curing time temperature as low as 35 DegF and can even be applied to objects that are completely submerged in water. For dry substrates use T-88, G-2 or GelMagic structural epoxy adhesives from System Three. With an easy 1:1 mix ratio, this epoxy can be used to patch holes in wooden and aluminum boats or fill cracks in swimming pools. For maximum bond strength, the surface must be damp, wet, clean, and free from dirt, contaminants, and loose material. Coarse pads work well for abrading uneven surfaces, otherwise, use 60-80 grit sandpaper. When mixing, use disposable safety gloves, combine equal parts of Submarine Resin Part A with Hardener Part B and mix the components until they are uniform in color. If bonding two materials together, apply Submarine to both surfaces. Mate the objects together by gently moving them back and forth. If necessary, use a weighted object or support until Submarine has cured sufficiently. Rubber bands, string or elastic cordage can be used as well. For patching operations, apply Submarine to the wet substrate. Then on a flat surface, work Submarine into the reinforcement material. Press the reinforcement material evenly onto the substrate. If necessary, add more Submarine to the reinforcement material and surrounding patch area. Use lacquer thinner, denatured alcohol, or white vinegar for cleanup of uncured material.
