You have all seen them, a double barreled syringe for small repair jobs.

I've used them myself around the shop, rather than mess with the pumps, etc.
for simple jobs.

I'm putting together a fiberglass repair kit to keep on the boat while
cruising. Just for the small crack or ding or broken widget.

Not sure how good this stuff really is, compared to West System,etc.

Can I mix it with the fillers, etc.?, will it bond to polyester lay-up for
small hull repairs. I have boxes and bags of scrap cloth, etc. and more
fillers than I will ever use.

The biggest advantage, I see, is convenience and cost. ACE Hardware has
store brand for a couple bucks a tube.

I have also noticed that these tubes seem to survive for several years, even
after they have been opened. I use one the other day that was at least 5-6
years old and it still kicked over.

Thoughts??

I have seen stated that some of these Epoxies are not supposed to be
exposed to water. Read the label on the stuff to be sure, if it says
that it is not water proof it might break over time when submerged.

On a boat I would use stuff that are supposed to be used on a boat.
