Review: First, I'll discuss mix ratio - advertised as 5:1. That's confusing, because the bottles say 2:1 -- Here's the answer: Each stroke of the plunger in the hardener bottle will dispense one "unit" of hardener. The plunger in the resin bottle is larger - it dispenses 2 1/2 times as much per stroke. So 2 strokes from the resin bottle is 5 units, while one stroke from the hardener is one unit -- result: 5:1. Now to the performance issues I have: First, the hardener bottle is for "FAST" hardening, although the description on the desertcart posting shows and says "SLOW" hardener. I prefer FAST, so no complaint - but it doesn't match the advertisement. I"m repairing the engine hatch on my boat, which has edge damage due to water intrusion into the plywood around the edges. I removed the old gelcoat and the rotted plywood, applied a coat of mixed "Total Boat" epoxy to both the original fiberglass edge of the hatch and to the surface of the replacement new 1/8" marine plywood, which i had rough sanded to get good adhesion. I clamped the plywood against the original fiberglass edge using multiple clamps (see attached photos), and waited. The next step would be to cover the plywood strips with fiberglass cloth, then sand, add a fairing compound, smooth, and gelcoat. I haven't gotten that far. After 4 days at 70 degrees, the epoxy was still tacky, so I heated the area with two space heaters, to accelerate the hardening. 30 minutes later, the resin started dripping out onto the table! Removed the heaters. Now it has been 5 days, and the epoxy has returned to the tacky stage. The overall repair of my hatch will require a lot more epoxy, since i will be replacing all of the original plywood in the rest of the hatch. That will require 4 layers of fiberglass cloth, so I bought two "Total Boat" epoxy kits -- neither of them returnable. I've used a very small amount of the first kit. I cannot afford to wait a week or more between coats (assuming this stuff ever hardens) - so it's going on the shelf and I'll order a name brand replacement kit.
Review: plenty of pot life to lay this up into a mold and vacuum bag it. after 3 hours, excess resin in my cup was hardened solid. no issues with cutting the length for the spout supply tube. temp in my shop was 70°F.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a no blush epoxy?**
A: Unknown

**Q: Is this polyester resin**
A: No it is not polyester resin.  It is epoxy with a 5 to 1 ratio, and cures extremely hard.  Polyester should not be used on a repair below the water line.  Epoxy will not allow water to absorb into the repaired area.

**Q: can I use this to fix lamination on my RV side walls**
A: Worked great for me rebuilding the wall sandwich (fiberglass, thin ply, foam board,,,) after water delamination.

**Q: Can you do inside of bathtub with this?**
A: Good Afternoon, this product cures to a high strength, water resistant finish, so using within a bathtub should be fine. Thank you.

I had a broken French drain pipe. Used this kit and very easily repaired it. I had never tried using fiberglass before this project
