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.
It's a good strategy but it is important to let the thin epoxy start
to cure before overcoating with the thickened top layer. *Otherwise
the thin epoxy will start to sag from the weight of the top coat and
take everything down with it.
OK, When Froggy posted what he does. I took 'soft' to be 'wet'.
Obviously not, though.
Excellent thought.
Thanks Wayne.
