Store PRO-SET Epoxy resins and hardeners at room temperature in sealed containers until shortly before use. As with many
high-performance epoxy resins, repeated exposure to low temperatures during storage may cause the resin to crystallize. If this
occurs, warm the resin to 125 F and stir to dissolve crystals. Hardeners may form carbamation when exposed to CO
2 and
moisture in the atmosphere for extended periods of time. Prevent carbamation by protecting hardeners from exposure until
immediately prior to processing.
Test specimens were neat epoxy (without fiber reinforcement).

COMBINED FEATURES

Shear thinning resins and hardeners are
thixotropic gels. The mixture fills gaps and
will not sag on vertical surfaces. The material
wets out the substrate, making priming or
pre-wetting unnecessary on most surfaces,
while ensuring a good bond.

Fast cure speed hardener provides
approximately 20 minutes of working time at
72 F (22 C).

Room temperature cure properties suitable
for many composite components and
structures.

High performance pre-thickened, two-part
epoxy adhesives for secondary bonding of
laminated composites, steel, aluminum, cast
iron, concrete, stone, and most wood
species. PRO-SET Adhesives will bond these
materials, to one another in any combination.

Coverage one cartridge set dispenses
approximately 47 ft of 1/4″ bead, or 17 ft of
1/2″ bead and will cover approximately 7 sq
ft when spread with a 1/8″ x 1/8″ notched
spreader, or 12 sq ft with a 1/16″ x 1/16″
notched spreader.

Shelf life is 18 months for resin and 18
months for hardener when properly stored

G/flex Epoxies are toughened, resilient two-part epoxies engineered for a superior grip to
metals, plastics, glass, masonry, fiberglass, and wet and difficult-to-bond woods. G/flex
Epoxies are available in two consistencies. G/flex 650 Epoxy is a liquid epoxy with a honey-
like consistency. G/flex 655 Epoxy Adhesive is pre-thickened with a consistency similar to
gel toothpaste. Both have an easy-to-use 1:1 mix ratio. G/flex provides a relatively long
open working time, yet it cures quickly and can be used in cool temperatures.
G/flex Epoxies are toughened to make them resilient and impact resistant, giving them the
ability to make structural bonds that can absorb the stresses of expansion, contraction,
shock, and vibration. With a modulus of elasticity of 150,000 psi, G/flex is more flexible
and can deflect further before breaking than WEST SYSTEM 105/205, while being much
stiffer than typical adhesive sealants.
G/flex adheres tenaciously to difficult-to-glue hardwoods, both tropical and domestic
varieties. It can be used to bond metals, plastics, glass, masonry, and fiberglass. G/flex is
ideal for repairs to aluminum boats and polyethylene and ABS canoes and kayaks. It can
also be used to wet out and bond fiberglass tapes and fabrics. G/flex 650 can be modified
with WEST SYSTEM fillers and additives and added to other WEST SYSTEM epoxies to
improve their toughness and flexibility.

105 Epoxy Resin

/ 209 Extra Slow Hardener

General Description
105/209 Epoxy is used for general coating and bonding applications in extremely warm
and/or humid conditions or when extended working time is desired at room temperature.
Provides approximately twice the working time of 206 Slow Hardener.
105/209 forms a high-strength, moisture-resistant solid with excellent bonding and
barrier coating properties. It will wet out and bond to wood fiber, fiberglass, reinforcing
fabrics, foam and other composite materials, and a variety of metals.
105/209 Epoxy can be thickened with W
EST SYSTEM fillers to bridge gaps and fill voids
and can be sanded and shaped when cured. With roller applications, it has excellent thin-
film characteristics, allowing it to flow out and self-level without fish-eyeing. Multiple
coats of 105/209 Epoxy creates a superior moisture barrier and a tough, stable base for
paints and varnishes. It is formulated without volatile solvents resulting in a very low
VOC content. It has a relatively high flash point, no strong solvent odor and does not
shrink after curing. It is not intended for clear coating natural finished wood.

105 Epoxy Resin

/ 207 Special Clear Hardener

General Description
105/207 Epoxy is used for coating and fiberglass cloth application where an exceptionally
clear, moisture-resistant, natural wood finish is desired. 105/207 is blush free and will not
turn cloudy in humid conditions. Thin film applications roll out and tip off smoothly,
requiring less sanding in preparation for finish coatings.
Three coats or more can be applied in one day without additional surface preparation.
Fewer coats are required to fill fiberglass weave and in most cases the final coating can be
sanded the following day.
105/207 forms a high- strength, moisture-resistant solid with excellent bonding and
barrier coating properties and is used as a structural adhesive for gluing and laminating.
It has excellent compatibility with paints and varnishes. An ultraviolet inhibitor in 207
helps provide a beautiful, long lasting finish when used with quality UV-filtering varnish.
It is formulated without volatile solvents resulting in a very low VOC content. It has a
relatively high flash point, no strong solvent odor and does not shrink after curing.
