I've heard a lot here concerning using Marine-Tex. But there are
several different package for several different applications. i was
wondering if this is the stuff to use.

A small package of it goes a long way. *If you only have to patch a
small area, just go with the smaller package - it's not complicated to
use which is its appeal.

Worked very well on the Halman.

Done deal.

Thanks!

I had forgotten about Marine-Tex, great stuff and they are right, it
does not run. *Basically it is epoxy with a thickener.
However, when making repairs, I like to use thin epoxy first to have
it soak into the surrounding area and then while it is still soft I
fill in with thicker stuff. *That way it is bonded all the way into
the surrounding area instead of relying on a mechanical bond to the
surface. That's my theory at least.

While the thinner stuff is still soft, do you put some fiber mesh over
it and work it in? I'd think it wold be hard to use the Marine-Ted on
top of the thinner material if it's still soft.
