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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hi-Bond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e HIB-701930\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hi-Bond Styrene\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reducer for polyester resins and gel coats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContainer Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions (L x W x H):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5 x 4.5 x 7.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 872687000709\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Boat Fiberglass Repair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Hi-Bond Styrene used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e Hi-Bond Styrene is a reducer added to polyester resins and gel coats to thin them for easier application during fiberglass repair work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size does Hi-Bond Styrene come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e Hi-Bond Styrene, part number HIB-701930, is sold in a quart container.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan Hi-Bond Styrene be used with gel coat as well as resin?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, this reducer is formulated for use with both polyester resins and gel coats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes Hi-Bond Styrene include hardener or catalyst?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, Hi-Bond Styrene is a reducer only; it is used to thin polyester resin or gel coat products and does not itself contain a hardener.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the quart of Hi-Bond Styrene weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The quart-size HIB-701930 weighs 2 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the Hi-Bond Styrene container?\u003c\/strong\u003e The quart container of Hi-Bond Styrene measures 2.5 x 4.5 x 7.5 inches (L x W x H).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy would I need to thin polyester resin or gel coat?\u003c\/strong\u003e Reducing the viscosity of polyester resin or gel coat with Hi-Bond Styrene makes the material easier to brush, spread, or spray, which helps during small fiberglass repairs and deck work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Hi-Bond Styrene a structural repair product on its own?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, it is a reducer, not a structural resin; it is intended to be mixed into a polyester resin or gel coat, not used by itself for repairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat category of product is Hi-Bond Styrene?\u003c\/strong\u003e Hi-Bond Styrene, part number HIB-701930, is classified under boat fiberglass repair products.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for Hi-Bond Styrene?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for the quart of Hi-Bond Styrene (HIB-701930) is 872687000709.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HI-Bond","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49028046553307,"sku":"HIB-701930","price":30.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/HIB-701930_lg__30911.1558116685.500.750.jpg?v=1785164425","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/hi-bond-styrene-reducer-quart-thinner-for-polyester-resin-and-gel-coat","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
