ONE SYSTEM. MANY POSSIBILITIES.NOT JUST RESIN.
NOT JUST RESIN.
A COMPLETE
WORKING SYSTEM.
Start with 105 Epoxy Resin. Pair it with a hardener for the conditions and working time. Then add the filler or reinforcement your application needs.
The result is a system you can tailor for coating, bonding, laminating and fairing, with dedicated epoxies and kits for more specific repairs.
01 / Choose the resin system
105 for versatile coating and bonding, or a speciality epoxy for a particular repair.
02 / Match the hardener
Work to the temperature, cure profile and specified resin-to-hardener ratio.
03 / Complete the job
Add the right fillers, fabric, metering pumps and application tools.
START WITH THE APPLICATION.
WHAT’S THE JOB?
Four starting points. Explore the products behind each one, then check the complete specification for your project.
Coating & laminatingBUILD IT IN.

Use the 105 system for coating and laminating, with a hardener suited to the job and the reinforcement required by the repair specification.

Fairing & fillingGET THE

SURFACE RIGHT.
Use a fairing filler to create an epoxy mixture that can be shaped and sanded. Fairing and structural bonding need different filler properties.

Fibreglass damage, dissimilar materials and weakened timber call for different solutions. Start with the material and condition, then choose the relevant kit or epoxy.

105 EPOXY RESIN® / THE CORE OF THE SYSTEMONE RESIN.
ONE RESIN.
THE RIGHT
HARDENER.
105 is a low-viscosity resin for wetting out and bonding wood fibre, glass fibre and other reinforcement. Your hardener choice sets the working and curing profile.
Marathon offers 105 resin in 1kg and 5kg sizes, 205 and 206 hardeners, matched A and B packs, plus 207 and 209 A-size hardeners.
Slow Hardener
For more working time, including general coating and bonding in warmer conditions.
View 206 ASpecial Clear
For clear coating and glass cloth applications where appearance matters.
View 207 AExtra Slow
For the longest working time of these 105 hardeners in suitable warm conditions.

1kg 105 resin + 0.2kg 205 or 206 hardener.
B PACK / 6kg
5kg 105 resin + 1kg 205 or 206 hardener.
105/205 and 105/206 use 5:1 resin to hardener by weight or volume. The 207/209 combinations use a different ratio: follow their label and use the correct metering system. Never adjust the mix ratio to change cure speed. Clear epoxy still needs a suitable UV-protective finish for sunlight exposure.

DON’T WRITE IT OFF.
REPAIR IT.
A dedicated, solvent-free epoxy that penetrates damaged timber and consolidates weakened wood fibres. Its formulation accommodates natural wood movement, and compatible fillers can be used where the repair needs a thicker mixture.
Choose from Marathon’s 360ml, 1.5L and 6L kits. Establish the extent of the damage and follow the manufacturer’s preparation and repair instructions.

SPECIALITY EPOXIESDIFFERENT CHALLENGES.
DIFFERENT CHALLENGES.
DEDICATED SOLUTIONS.
G/FLEX® / TOUGHENED EPOXYBOND MATERIALS.
ABSORB THE STRESS.
G/flex is tougher and more flexible than a conventional rigid epoxy, while remaining much stiffer than an adhesive sealant. It is designed for bonds that experience expansion, contraction, shock and vibration.
Choose 650 liquid for versatile bonding and fabric wet-out, or 655 thickened adhesive where a non-sag mixture is useful. Prepare each material using the relevant instructions.
SIX10® / THICKENED ADHESIVESTRUCTURAL BONDING.
CARTRIDGE CONVENIENCE.
Six10 combines a gap-filling structural epoxy with a self-metering cartridge and static mixer. Apply a controlled bead for suitable bonding, filling and filleting work.
The cartridge fits a standard caulking gun. Complete the setup with the required dispensing gun and replacement static mixers from Marathon.

Adhesive fillers and fairing fillers do different jobs. Choose for bond strength, gap filling, handling or sanding, then add to resin and hardener that have already been correctly mixed.

BEFORE
YOU MIX.
Use WEST SYSTEM’s own guidance to plan preparation, mixing, application and cure.
Which WEST SYSTEM epoxy should I start with?
105 resin with the selected hardener is a versatile starting point for coating, laminating and bonding. G/flex, Six10 and Wood Rot Repair are dedicated alternatives for particular applications. Use the job selector above, then check the manufacturer’s instructions for the material and repair.
Can I change the ratio to make epoxy cure faster?
No. Use the specified ratio. Select the appropriate hardener and working conditions instead. Mixing temperature, batch size and film thickness affect cure, and mixed epoxy generates heat.
Does 207 replace a protective varnish or finish?
207 is the clear-coating hardener in the 105 system. For sunlight exposure, use a suitable UV-protective coating over the prepared epoxy. Check the finishing instructions and coating compatibility.
Is G/5 Five-Minute Adhesive suitable for every boat repair?
No. G/5 is for quick fixtures, low-loading repairs and general bonding. WEST SYSTEM does not recommend it for long-term bonds exposed to high loads or prolonged moisture. View the 25ml G/5 pack
Do you offer smaller repair packs?
Marathon lists the 101 Mini Pack, 104 Junior Pack and 105-K Glass Fibre Boat Repair Kit, as well as the G/flex 655-K kit. Choose by the repair type and required contents. Explore the 105-K repair kit
