Why Choose #206-B Slow Hardener for Your Boat?

Get the Perfect Cure: The #206-B Slow Hardener is designed to give you ample time to work your magic. When mixed with #105 Epoxy Resin at a 5:1 ratio, it offers a generous 20-25 minutes of pot life at 72°F, with a solid cure in 12-18 hours. Ideal for when you need to take things slow and steady, especially in warmer conditions starting from 60°F.

Ideal for Detailed Work: Whether you’re applying multiple layers or tackling intricate bonding tasks, the #206-B Slow Hardener gives you the flexibility to work without the pressure of a rapid cure. Perfect for laminating, bonding, or creating moisture barriers with epoxy, this hardener ensures a flawless finish every time.

Versatile and Reliable: This hardener isn’t just about slow curing—it's about superior performance. Use it for wetting out porous surfaces before bonding, applying fabrics, or even for clear fabric applications when combined with #105 Epoxy Resin and #207 Special Clear Hardener for that pristine, transparent finish.
