Punch63 Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 Was wondering if anyone has tried or is using this epoxy, and their thoughts on it. Thanks Hokahey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Pulse Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 Yup I got it. Found it to be too soft for my liking. Talked to the guy. Going to give it another chance. It’s a 1 to 1 mix. I prefer 2 to 1 mixes. They to me are more durable. Going to give it another shot. Hokahey 1 what's the secret word for tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked to a guy today who said this is his all time favorite epoxy 8000lb tensile strength yada yada yada I’m wondering if it really is all that On 1/13/2021 at 0:24 PM, Punch63 said: I bought some today, will give it a try How’d it go ?

Punch63 Posted February 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) I personal love the stuff, air bubble are very minimal, and self popping, great finish, dry time around eight hours, full cure I leave over night Edited February 16, 2021 by Punch63 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Pulse Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) Can you stuck your nail into it? Does it leave an indent? Edited February 16, 2021 by Steel Pulse what's the secret word for tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
member_77807 Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 I’ve been using it for a year now. It’s the best out of the three epoxies I’ve used. It’s easy to work with, reliable work time, cures hard and doesn’t crack. 0 issues as of now. Steel Pulse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch63 Posted March 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Steel, if you press hard enough it does leave an indent, but in the description it say the product has some flex, and won't peel or crack, I'm think maybe that is the way it was made.

Steel Pulse Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 That was my findings and yes if it doesn’t peel or the dent doesn’t cause failure and cause it to delaminate then I’d say that is ok. I prefer something harder but some like it that way. So many options so Little time.

Kphresh Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 @Steel Pulse I also am working with this brand and I can say it's gotta be the best I've used. Mix by weight if you get some (I think its like a 1.26 multiplier). It has about a 30-45 min work time before it's beyond 'spreadable' with an acid brush. No air bubbles, no fish eyes, no craters or pull away... And if mixed by weight, after ~24hr it's rock hard. No indent if you press a finger nail in it. Good thickness on one coat as well.

I tried by volume 1:1. Turned out pretty soft. Kphresh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By weight is more accurate and gives the better finished results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ed morini Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 Kphresh: I'm asking because I don't have the product handy as yet I contacted the owner of Truecoat and got this reply From: Joe Peterson <trueglidelures@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2021 10:31 AM To: ed morini <edmorini@theshipscarpenter.net> Subject: Re: Mixing schedule Hi Ed. The weight ratio is included with the instructions on the inside lid of the box. Just in case though: 32grams of part B to 37grams part A. You can scale this up , ex 64g part B to 74g part A, 128g part B to 148g part A , etc. I do not recommend scaling it down though. It’s too easy to knock the ratio out of proportion in smaller amounts. I recommend using small measuring cups or syringes for small amounts Regardless of the amount: mix for one minute and let stand 5 mins before applying TrueGlide LLC Dividing 37by 32 = 1.1562 multiplier for a 1:1 mix Is that close to the multiplier you used. 1.6 would be more hardener and I wondering if that yielded a harder mix your coating.
