The Gougeon brothers have been using epoxy resins in boat building and repair for some 50 years. It makes structural bonds that can absorb the stresses of expansion, contraction, shock and vibration. G/flex works very well to bond hypalon to hypalon or wood. It does not work well on PVC or urethane fabrics. In addition to its superior bonding to many different materials and its ability to bond dissimilar materials, G/flex is much more flexible than other epoxies. This is an excellent property for boat building and repair. Polyethylene (HDPE) is a common kayak and canoe material. Its molecular structure resists gluing by most adhesives. G/flex solves the problem; it bonds well to polyethylene and ABS plastics. At 72F pot life is 45 minutes. Working time is 75 minutes. It cures to a solid in three hours and cures to its full strength in one to two days. It cures faster in warmer temperatures and slower in colder ones. Clean up is simple. Wipe up spills with absorbent materials. G/flex adheres tenaciously to difficult-to-glue hardwoods, both tropical and domestic varieties.
