{"product_id":"marine-tex-gluvit-waterproof-epoxy-sealer-2-lb-quart-kit-amber","title":"Marine-Tex Gluvit Waterproof Epoxy Sealer, 2 lb Quart Kit, Amber","description":"\u003cp\u003eMarine-Tex Gluvit Waterproof Epoxy Sealer is a two-part epoxy barrier coat formulated to protect and repair hulls, decks, and structural wood on boats. It is designed for fiberglass, wood, aluminum, and steel, bridging and sealing hairline cracks, pinholes, and leaky seams while forming a protective barrier against water absorption and corrosion. On aluminum hulls it seals rivets and leaks around cabins or decks, and it can be applied to the outside of an aluminum gas tank as a corrosion barrier (it is not resistant to gasoline and should not be used to coat the inside of a fuel tank). Deteriorated wood on decks and hulls can be renewed as Gluvit penetrates into the material to add strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 2 lb quart-size kit is a 1:1 by-can, 5-parts-resin-to-1-part-hardener (by volume) epoxy system. Once mixed, it offers about 60 minutes of working time at 72 degrees Fahrenheit and is applied by brush or roller at 6-8 mils film thickness. The first coat cures in 12 hours at 72 degrees Fahrenheit, after which a second coat can be applied; full hardening occurs overnight, with 48 hours at 72 degrees Fahrenheit needed to reach maximum strength. Because Gluvit is not UV stable, it must be top-coated with a pigmented epoxy, urethane, latex, or alkyd paint after curing for lasting protection. The kit is amber in color and the resin container is intentionally slack-filled to leave room for thorough power mixing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marine-Tex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e RM330K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Line:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gluvit Waterproof Epoxy Sealer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Form:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two-part liquid epoxy (resin and hardener)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKit Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 lb quart kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25-35 square feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMix Ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 parts resin to 1 part hardener by volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePot Life \/ Working Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 minutes at 72 degrees Fahrenheit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Application Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6-8 mils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCure Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24-30 hours at 72 degrees Fahrenheit (48 hours for maximum strength)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Materials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fiberglass, wood, aluminum, steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.7 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 705643302008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Marine-Tex Gluvit used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e Gluvit Waterproof Epoxy Sealer (RM330K) is a two-part epoxy barrier coat used to seal and protect boat hulls and decks made of fiberglass, wood, aluminum, or steel, bridging hairline cracks and filling minor pinholes and leaky seams.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much surface area does the 2 lb kit cover?\u003c\/strong\u003e This 2 lb quart-size kit of Gluvit covers approximately 25-35 square feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the mix ratio for Gluvit epoxy?\u003c\/strong\u003e Gluvit is mixed at a ratio of 5 parts resin to 1 part hardener by volume, with the full kit contents combined and mixed thoroughly for 3-4 minutes if using the entire kit at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does Gluvit take to cure?\u003c\/strong\u003e At 72 degrees Fahrenheit, Gluvit's first coat cures in about 12 hours, hardens overnight, and reaches maximum strength after 48 hours; full cure of the barrier coat itself takes 24-30 hours at that temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the working time once Gluvit is mixed?\u003c\/strong\u003e Once the resin and hardener are combined, Gluvit RM330K offers about 60 minutes of working time (pot life) at 72 degrees Fahrenheit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes Gluvit need to be painted after it cures?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, Gluvit should be top-coated with a pigmented epoxy, urethane, latex, or alkyd-based marine paint after curing, since UV exposure will otherwise cause the epoxy to chalk and potentially crack over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan Gluvit be used to coat the inside of a fuel tank?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, Gluvit is not resistant to gasoline and should not be used inside a gas tank; it can, however, be applied to the outside of an aluminum gas tank as a corrosion barrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat materials can Gluvit be applied to?\u003c\/strong\u003e Gluvit RM330K bonds to fiberglass, wood, aluminum, and steel, making it suitable for sealing hulls, decks, seams, and rivets across most common boatbuilding materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is the resin container only partially full?\u003c\/strong\u003e The resin can for Gluvit RM330K is intentionally slack-filled because materials are packaged by weight, leaving room for a power mixer to fully blend the resin and hardener in one container.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan Gluvit be tinted with pigment?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, an epoxy-friendly pigment can be added to Gluvit, up to a maximum of 5 percent of the total epoxy volume; this will tint the amber epoxy but will not achieve a dark color.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow thick should Gluvit be applied?\u003c\/strong\u003e Gluvit RM330K is applied with a brush or roller at a film thickness of 6-8 mils per coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan Gluvit be applied at low temperatures?\u003c\/strong\u003e If ambient temperature is below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, the Gluvit product and work area should be pre-conditioned to at least 55 degrees Fahrenheit before application, since working time and cure both lengthen in cooler conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ITW Marine Tex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49027996745947,"sku":"ITW-RM330K","price":73.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/itw-rm330k_lg__04141.1558180257.500.750.jpg?v=1785164430","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/marine-tex-gluvit-waterproof-epoxy-sealer-2-lb-quart-kit-amber","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
