Pettit EZ-Fair 7050 Epoxy Fairing Compound, Quart
Pettit EZ-Fair 7050 Epoxy Fairing Compound, Quart
Pettit EZ-Fair 7050 is a lightweight, two-part epoxy putty engineered for fairing and smoothing surface imperfections both above and below the waterline. It is formulated for leveling uneven surfaces and filling gouges, scratches, and other surface damage on fiberglass, wood, or metal hulls. Because it is chemical and water resistant, EZ-Fair is a common choice for repairing blistered gelcoat and restoring a smooth, fair surface before painting.
The compound is waterproof once cured, and it is non-sagging and non-shrinking, which helps it hold its shape on vertical and overhead surfaces without slumping. It sands to a smooth finish and can be easily painted over once cured. Its fast-cure formula allows for quicker recoating compared to slower epoxy fillers, which helps keep a fairing or refinishing project moving.
EZ-Fair 7050 also plays a role in Pettit's recommended coating systems for lead, steel, and cast iron keels. After priming bare metal and applying Pettit Protect, EZ-Fair 7050 can be used to fair the surface where needed, then sanded smooth with 80 grit sandpaper before finish coats of Pettit Protect are applied. This quart size supplies enough compound for spot repairs and moderate fairing work.
