Sea Hawk F6-S MicroSphere Fairing Filler, 5.2 oz Lightweight Epoxy Additive
Sea Hawk F6-S MicroSphere Fairing Filler, 5.2 oz Lightweight Epoxy Additive
Sea Hawk F6-S MicroSphere Fairing Filler is a lightweight epoxy additive used to build fairing compounds for boat hulls, decks, and other fiberglass or wood surfaces. Blended into epoxy resin, the microsphere filler thickens the mix to a white-colored paste that is easy to spread over small repairs or large fairing sections alike. Its closed-cell structure keeps the cured compound light in weight while it holds a feathered edge cleanly, which makes blending repairs into surrounding surfaces simpler and reduces the amount of sanding needed afterward.
Because the filler sands easily once cured, it is well suited to finish work where a smooth, fair surface is the goal, such as pre-paint fairing or smoothing over fastener holes and low spots. The closed-cell microsphere structure also contributes a degree of acoustic and thermal insulating value where the compound is applied in larger volumes. F6-S is suitable for use on nearly every substrate encountered in boat repair and fabrication work. Sea Hawk supplies this filler in a 5.2 oz size, making it a convenient quantity for smaller fairing and repair jobs without committing to a larger container.
