Tropical Extra Slow Epoxy Kits

Extra long pot life and working time give you more time to do the job right

TotalBoat Tropical Epoxy Kits give you more time to work before the resin kicks, which is great when you’re coating large areas, covering a lot of joints, or assembling parts and need more time than a regular or slow cure rate epoxy provides. In fact, TotalBoat Tropical Kits give you twice the working time (46 minutes) at room temperature as our TotalBoat Slow Epoxy Kits (20 minutes).

So whether you’re completing larger, more intricate repairs, doing a deck job, glassing a hull, or need more time to prepare a T-Top hardtop for vacuum bagging, our extra slow cure TotalBoat Tropical Epoxy Kits offer the most desired working properties in normal to very warm temperatures, without heating up or tacking up on you.

Tropical Epoxy Kit Details

• Gives you twice as much working time at room temperature, compared to our Slow Epoxy Kits.
• Provides extra long pot life and working time in normal conditions.
• Ensures adequate working time in extremely warm, humid conditions.
• Ideal for bonding, layup, laminating, and coating applications.
• Viscosity wets out fiberglass and other composite fabrics easily.
• Provides smooth flow-out & self-leveling perfect for coating and laminating.
• Provides good moisture resistance for bonding and barrier coating applications.
• Creates a durable base for varnishes and paints.
• Combined with thickeners, creates a strong adhesive or filleting/fairing compound.
• Use on prepared wood, fiberglass, reinforcement fabrics, bare steel, etched aluminum, and lead.
• Easy to measure by weight or by volume.
• Mixed color: Clear amber (Traditional Epoxy Resin is clear, Tropical Hardener is light amber)
• System Sizes: Group Size A is the Quart Kit; Group Size B is the Gallon Kit
• IMPORTANT: This product cures to a clear amber color, so it is not intended for clear coating applications. For an ultra-clear, non-blushing epoxy we recommend TotalBoat High Performance Epoxy Kits.

Three easy ways to measure

• By Volume: Measure THREE parts TotalBoat Traditional Epoxy Resin to ONE part TotalBoat Tropical Hardener
• By Pumps: Use the TotalBoat 3:1 Epoxy Pumps (sold separately) to dispense the resin and hardener in the precise proportions, by volume. All you have to do is apply one full stroke of the hardener pump for every one full stroke of the resin pump. The 3:1 mix ratio is preset and is required for a proper cure.
• By Weight: Measure 100A:28B

After measuring, stir well for about two minutes to combine thoroughly, before adding fillers or applying.
