BoatLIFE Git Rot Kit - 4oz

$21.99 USD $25.99

Product Description

The Git Rot Kit - 4oz is a high-performance two-part epoxy formulated specifically for marine applications. It effectively penetrates and restores the structural integrity of rotted wood, ensuring your boat remains safe and seaworthy.

Product Features

  • Two-Part Liquid Epoxy: Saturates and reinforces wood by penetrating deep into the rot.
  • Versatile Restoration: Works with loose, rotted fibers to regain original wood strength.
  • Dry Wood Application: Essential for optimal penetration and curing.
  • Capillary Action: Injecting the epoxy allows it to soak deeply into the wood structure.
  • Quick Pot Life: 30-minute working time after mixing for efficient application.
  • Overnight Cure: Fully cures within 24 hours for prompt project continuation.
  • Finish Ready: Sandable and paintable surface, allowing for seamless integration with your boat's aesthetics.
  • Drill and Screw Compatible: Once cured, the epoxy can be securely drilled and screwed.
  • Compatibility: Works harmoniously with fiberglass resins, epoxies, and most sealants.

Ideal Applications

The Git Rot Kit is perfect for addressing rot in various parts of your boat, including:

  • Transoms
  • Stringers
  • Cabin Roofs
  • Other critical wooden components in both fiberglass and wooden boats

How to Use

  1. Preparation: Ensure the affected wood area is completely dry before application.
  2. Mixing: Combine the two components of the epoxy thoroughly.
  3. Application: Inject the mixed epoxy into the rotted wood. The capillary action will help the epoxy penetrate deeply.
  4. Working Time: Complete the application within the 30-minute pot life.
  5. Curing: Allow the epoxy to cure overnight for maximum strength.
  6. Finishing: Once cured, sand and paint as desired. The epoxy is ready to be drilled and screwed.
