Sea Hawk F5-S Light Density Fairing Filler, 4 oz Epoxy Fairing Compound
Sea Hawk F5-S Light Density Fairing Filler, 4 oz Epoxy Fairing Compound
Sea Hawk F5-S is a light density fairing filler formulated to thicken epoxy into an easy to sand and carve fairing compound while remaining strong and lightweight. Once mixed and cured, the filler takes on a reddish brown color, making it simple to see coverage and sanding progress as you work a hull, deck, or repair area to a smooth, fair finish. Because it is a low-density formulation, it builds up fairing compound without adding excessive weight to the repaired surface, which is important on hulls and structures where keeping added mass to a minimum matters.
This filler is designed for boat builders, repairers, and DIY owners who need to fill, fair, and smooth surfaces before finish coating or painting. It sands and carves easily compared to heavier-bodied fillers, so shaping a fair curve or leveling a repair takes less labor. The 4 oz size is suited to smaller fairing jobs, touch-ups, and repairs where a full-size container of filler is more than what is needed.
