Hi, is there a repair epoxy you can apply underwater for emergency
patches? There used to be a two part product called safe zone or
something but it costs $100 for two handfuls. Has anyone actually used
it? You mixed it on deck, grabbed a handful in your rubber glove, dove
in and smeared it on? Did it work?
Thanks as always.


Years ago we used Splash Zone.for under water hasty patches.
good stuff........ yes expensive. But when ya need it what else is
going to kick off and cure uderwater.

Marine Tex, a white epoxy putty packed in different size boxes is a good
product for this use.

Most epoxies will work underwater. I experimented with this
extensively to develop an anti-fouling compound that could be applied
underwater.
