West System 206-B 206B Slow Hardener - .81.4l

Good Product, A++

Great Product

Nice to get it at home versus finding a West Marine supply store 2 hours away. As always, product does what it says it will and work s perfectly. Just you wish it was a little cheaper as the price seems a bit inflated but about the same that you would spend at a store.

I use this with the 105 resin to fill cracks and imperfections in solid wood. You can either dye it to a color you want or use it clear as is. You’re going to end up with a lot of bubbles as with any epoxy, but I use a small torch with indirect heat to pop those and get a perfect finish every time. It’s difficult to work with so if it’s your first time I would recommend watching some videos on YouTube or something to learn more before you dive in. But the product works exactly as intended. Don’t expect to fill a large crack all in one pour. Work in stages or you’ll end up with voids. Get the pumps that they sell as well in order to get the perfect mix and make it easier on yourself.

I have been using WS 206 Slow hardener for epoxy fiberglass work for years. I like the slow, because I'm generally not in that big a hurry to require a 'Fast' hardener. I think you end up with a finer, stronger epoxy cross linking using the Slow compared to the Fast. The Slow does not create amine blush, which must be washed off between applications or a poor bond will be created. I use only with metered pumps which allow a 'one pump' of hardener to 'one pump' of resin delivery.
