There is more to repair on fibreglass yachts and glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) classics than one might think. With good products and a little craftsmanship, necessary work on laminate or Gelcoat can be done well. Epoxy resin is a versatile product - of course also for repair and maintenance use on traditional ships or yachts. It is suitable for laminating, bonding or coating. Except for good adhesion properties on many materials, it can be used as an adhesive or filler. Due to its high water resistance and low water absorption, epoxy is well suited for underwater repairs, such as osmosis prevention or osmosis restoration. For repairs to the gelcoat on deck and in the area of the hull above the waterline, polyester resin can also be used, which is easier to process and cheaper than epoxy. Polyester filler or synthetic resin filler is used to fill and smooth unevenness. In addition to products from WEST SYSTEM, at Toplicht you will also find bio-epoxy, kneading epoxy, fiberglass mats and all the accessories, rollers and tools you need for resin processing.
