Marine Tex Epoxy Putty Repair Kit - Gray

Marine-Tex, the leading high-strength repair compound is designed to fill, bond and rebuild wood, fiberglass, ceramic, glass, metal, masonry and many plastics. Marine-Tex is manufactured to withstand the harsh demands of both marine and industrial environments, as well as to provide many repair solutions for home, auto and hobby applications. Marine-Tex handles like putty, dries to a rock-like hardness, yet sands as easily as wood.

Marine-Tex is a creamy paste consistency that can be applied on vertical or horizontal surfaces, easily fills gaps, and can be shaped to rebuild damaged components. Marine-Tex paste provides waterproof repairs that can be used with fiberglass tape or cloth to bridge holes and to reinforce structural repairs as required. Emergency and permanent repairs to machinery and equipment, hulls, decks, stripped fasteners, piping and tanks are all easily accomplished with this repair kit. Marine-Tex epoxy can be sanded or ground to shape, tapped and drilled, and finished with most common paints and coatings. Wholesale Marine recommends that you stow a kit on board for emergency repairs.
