System Three Resin® is a 100% solids, unfilled, medium-modulus general purpose epoxy system suited to over 90% of all epoxy applications. It works great for new wood construction and repair, for gel coat blister repair and for general fiberglass boat repair. User friendly 2:1 volume ratio with any of the three hardeners. System Three Epoxy has excellent pot life and cure-time control. Use at temperatures as low as 35º F with no limitations on humidity. System Three Epoxy cures to a very tough, resilient, clear film. The medium to low viscosity of System Three Epoxy allow the use “as is” for coating and fiberglass work. Combine with different fillers to make excellent adhesive, filleting and fairing compounds. When selecting a hardener, consider the minimum temperature expected during application, and the required pot life. Combine the hardeners to provide a continuous range of cure times within the extremes of the Fast (#1) and Slow (#3). Refer to The Epoxy Book (2 Megs)to make proper selection. See Technical Data Sheet and MSDS for additional information. |

*** #3 Hardener is not recommended for coating applications unless cure temperatures exceed 75º F. |

Set time is approximate time it takes for a thin epoxy film to “set”. At this point it will no longer flow and is tack-free to the lightest touch but still tacky to a heavy touch. See Epoxy Book for more detailed information. |

System Three SilverTip Epoxy Products |
|
|
|
System Three SilverTip products are application specific epoxy solutions. The SilverTip product range encompasses a laminating resin, a sag resistant adhesive, a quik-curing fairing compound, and a pre-mixed filleting compound. This system is designed with ease of use in mind and is made from high quality components. |

SilverTip Laminating Resin is a med-low viscosity, liquid epoxy system that has been optimized for coating and reinforcing fabric saturation in wood-composite boatbuilding. It will outperform any other product in these applications. SilverTip Laminating Resin is designed for use with fiberglass, Kevlar, Dynel and graphite as well as on bare wood. It has superior wet-out characteristics with little tendency to foam or trap air. Both the resin and hardener are nearly colorless and are used in an easy 2:1 volumetric ratio. SilverTip Laminating Resin cures to a brilliant blush-free film with either the fast or slow hardener eliminating secondary bonding concerns as experienced with other epoxies. The working time is longer than most boat building epoxies without sacrificing cure time. The cured film is tough and resilient with better heat resistance than other room temperature cured epoxies. Fillers, wood flour, and bulking agents can be combined with SilverTip Laminating Resin, however we do not recommend this approach. Instead we suggest using the other members of the SilverTip Series for adhesive, filleting and fairing applications. |

GelMagic is a toughened, non-sagging, two component, structural epoxy adhesive designed for superior bonding to wood and most porous materials. It is unique in that it starts as two self-leveling liquids, which immediately form a soft, thixotropic, non-sagging paste when mixed. Measuring is easily accomplished by either volume or weight. GelMagic requires no additional modification with fillers and can be applied to vertical and overhead surfaces without running, eliminating the mess and waste associated with other epoxies. Gel-Magic exhibits exceptionally high peel strength and employs a state of the art, two-phase epoxy morphology, which creates an adhesive bond that is more tough, resilient, resistant to embrittlement and possess better elevated temperature properties than other room temperature cured epoxy adhesives. GelMagic can be post-cured up to 140 degrees for even greater performance. |

EZ Fillet is a wood flour-filled two-part putty specifically designed for stitch-and-glue wooden boat construction. Its ketchup-like, self-leveling consistency allows it to be measured by volume or weight. The resin (part A) is brick red in color while the hardener (part B) is a deep, dark green. A rich brown wood tone results when the two parts are combined indicating complete mixing. The putty thickens after mixing to form an easy to spread, thixotropic compound, which stays put and will not run or sag. EZ Fillet has been designed for superior strength and workability and can be used by itself to create smooth cosmetic fillets or as a structural fillet when combined with fiberglass cloth. EZ Fillet can be applied by spatula or caulking tube. A convenient pastry bag technique can be used by snipping off the corner of a plastic food storage bag and filling it with mixed EZ Fillet. Adjust the size of the hole to deliver just the right amount of EZ Fillet. |

QuikFair is a lightweight, microballoon-filled, fast-curing two-part epoxy fairing putty with excellent moisture resistance. The two color-coded parts have a non-sagging, butter-like consistency and are easily mixed to form a third color. At 70°F. QuikFair is sufficiently cure to be hand-sanded in 3 hours or machine sanded in 4 hours. This allows the user to apply three coats each 24 hours in a standard eight-hour shift or six in a round the clock basis. |
