Extend working time in warmer temperatures

TotalBoat Tropical Hardener is ideal if you need more working time at room temperature in very warm, humid conditions at or above 70°F. It’s easy to measure the right mix, especially with the included pre-calibrated pump.

Combine Tropical Hardener with our Traditional Epoxy Resin, then mix thoroughly for about two minutes before use. Great for wetting out fiberglass and other fabrics, coating, and bonding. Cures to a high-strength, moisture-resistant solid.
