Fiberglass Covering Kits
Clark Craft Fiberglass Covering Kits with our Epoxy Plus System resin, are available for
many marine plywood boat designs offered in this catalog. Only the finest materials are
included in the Clark Craft covering kits.
Every fiberglass covering kit comes as a
complete package, with the proper amount of Epoxy Plus resin and treated fiberglass cloth
to completely cover the bottom, sides and transom. This tough, durable covering will
greatly strengthen the hull and protect it from the elements almost indefinitely. it
reduces maintenance to a minimum, no annual repainting, and provides the sleek look of a
fiberglass boat at substantially less cost.
Epoxy Plus epoxy resin is far superior to
polyester resin for applying a fiberglass covering to wooden boats. Why? Because Epoxy
Plus epoxy resin is a powerful and flexible adhesive type coating, polyester resin is not.
Epoxy Plus resin with fiberglass cloth will last longer and adhere far better, with
greater impact resistance, for a long-term, low maintenance surface.
When you use our
Epoxy Plus System, you will be working with a premium epoxy resin obtained by drawing on
our years of experience in the boathuilding field and the technical experience of one of
the top compounders in epoxy coating formulations.
The Epoxy Plus System epoxy resin is
part of our complete system of premium epoxy resins, glues and surfacing compounds.
Unlike the older epoxy resins using a 5 to I mix, our new Epoxy Plus System incorporates
the latest 1 to 1 equal mix system, virtually eliminating errors and the waste found in
the older 5 to 1 systems.
This equal mix Epoxy Plus System forms a covering that is both
flexible and with unusually high bonding and impact strength. Being practically
indestructible makes this the peace of mind protective covering you will want for your
boat. Although the initial cost is higher, so too are the strength, durability and resale
factors.
While not offered in our kits, if you decide to use our Super XXX 29 polyester
resin, you will have chosen the highest quality polyester resin on the market today. A
thixotropic resin that contains wax that is recommended for boat covering, repairing and
building. Minimal drainout on vertical surfaces, good bonding and economically priced to
suit most budgets.
Fiberglass cloth supplied in our covering kits is of the latest
specially treated cloth, specifically designed for epoxy resins but works equally well for
polyester resins, Enough heavy duty cloth is included in the kit to cover the entire
exterior of the hull, the sides, bottom and transom.
