Epoxy System

Waterproof epoxy coating

Glue wooden parts together and then make a virtually maintenance free waterproof surface by epoxy coating it. This epoxy is used for gluing the wood, laminates and fillets as well as for coating wooden parts. We recommend the use of this solvent free epoxy for use at home.

It has a slow initial cure time that makes it ideal for unpractised workers. It does not rely on solvents for treating the surface or softening for further coats thus it is perfect for those whose workplace is within smelling distance of a living area. There is no need to use respirators or have an air extractor system.

Volatile Organic Compounds (V.O.C's) are virtually zero as there are no solvents in our epoxy system. Our epoxy is environmentally friendly because it is 100% reactive.
