Description
BoatLIFE Git Rot Kit - 4oz is a specialized two-part liquid epoxy designed to restore structural integrity to dry, rotted wood by deep capillary penetration. It bonds directly with loose, rotted wood fibers, eliminating the need to completely remove the damaged wood before treatment.
- Application Method: Injected directly into the wood to soak through capillary action.
- Working Timeline: Offers a 30-minute pot life after mixing and solidifies overnight.
- Cure Time: Reaches its ultimate structural strength in approximately one week.
- Post-Cure Flexibility: Sandable, paintable, and strong enough to be drilled or screwed.
- Compatibility: Works alongside fiberglass resins, epoxies, and common marine sealants.
- Best Use Cases: Ideal for restoring boat transoms, stringers, and cabin roofs.
- Important Constraints: The target wood must be completely dry before application.
- Mixing Ratio: Mix 3 parts "A" to 1 part "B" and shake vigorously for one full minute.
Application Pro-Tips
- Volume Estimation: For full saturation, you will need a volume of Git Rot roughly equal to half the volume of the rotted wood.
- Temperature Control: The ideal application range is between 50°F and 70°F. If you are working in temperatures above 70°F, chill the kit overnight to prevent the epoxy from curing too quickly.
- Batch Sizing: Avoid mixing more than 4 oz at a single time. Larger quantities trigger a faster thermal reaction, drastically reducing your working time.
