Hi-Bond Styrene Reducer, Quart - Thinner for Polyester Resin and Gel Coat
Hi-Bond Styrene Reducer, Quart - Thinner for Polyester Resin and Gel Coat
Hi-Bond Styrene is a liquid reducer formulated for thinning polyester resins and gel coats used in fiberglass boat repair. It is added to polyester resin or gel coat to adjust viscosity, making the material easier to spread, brush, or spray during small repairs, deck work, and gel coat touch-ups. Styrene is a standard companion product to polyester resin systems and is commonly kept on hand alongside resin, hardener, cloth, mat, and roving for fiberglass repair jobs.
This product is sold in a quart size, making it a convenient quantity for smaller repair jobs where only a portion of a resin or gel coat batch needs thinning. Because it is a reducer rather than a structural resin, Hi-Bond Styrene is used in combination with a polyester resin or gel coat product rather than on its own. It carries the Hi-Bond part number HIB-701930.
