TotalBoat382660 - Thixo (185ml Cartridge) | Thickened Epoxy Adhesive | for Bonding, Gluing, Sealing and Filling | Use on Wood, Fiberglass, Metals, Brick, Stone, Glass, Tile & More

Don’t be fooled. The product is greatBut it’s only half a tube of product.A little bit of epoxy for a big price

Used product 382660 to repair a major crack/ hole in my seadoo gtx. After proper grinding and feathering repair area I applied product not exceeding recommended 1/2” thickness and let cure. Within 24 hours it was rock hard and prepared area for second coat. This time adding a layer of carbon fiber wetting it out with thixo and shaping as needed. Let second application cure for 48 hours then doing the final sanding and shaping. Couldn’t be happier with the final results. I should mention I took a chance on this product over traditional resins because of the claim that it would adhere to damp surfaces. The styrofoam in the hull still had moisture trapped inside and this stuff cured no problem. Thank you thixo! Easy to apply. Didn’t drop or sag. Floats out and shapes like a dream. Wets chop strand or weave as well or better than traditional resins in my opinion. Sanding and shaping was a breeze. Used in temperatures between 55 and 65 degrees.

Great product. The open time is a big benefit. Very strong bond.

This is a pretty good epoxy, but it will not bond to ABS. I was using it to bond a flat, thin, ABS cutting board to the bottom of my RV sink covers. My RV has these hard plastic countertops that have and inner piece of particle board. It's a good, lightweight alternative to solid surface countertops, but at the bottom corner seam, water can get in and swell the inner particle board, which was beginning to happen to the sink covers. I was going to sand the bottom, add the ABS panels, and properly seal the edge. Not only did the ABS panels not stick, but this epoxy also did not stick to the surface of the sink covers. So I went with a thin layer of regular epoxy, attached the ABS panels, trimmed with a router, and sealed the edge with a thin layer of silicone. Looks great now.

I used this to repair the SMC hull of a Polaris PWC after some underwater object routered a groove down my keel. Some 3M structural adhesive was recommended by Polaris for the repair but the cost is equal to its weight in gold and generally not available to consumers. I did a lot of digging around for an alternative and came across Thixo and it was perfect for the job. It was very easy to spread on the underside of the hull without any sagging or dripping and had plenty of working time. After 24 hours I could sand and fill in any spots I missed. When compared to the 3M product, Thixo is definitely a lot more bang for your buck. When dealing with the hull of a PWC I figured the thicker the better and wasn't planning on painting so I left the last application unsanded.

Easy to use. Managed to fill in several small below waterline screw holes from a transom mounted transducer on my boat. Applied acetone on a rag, got rid of any old 5200 gunk that would interfere with the thickened epoxy, reamed the screwholes, screwed the mixing tip on, laid about a foot of the first mixed epoxy on a cardboard box to prime it, and then began filling the holes. Set in about a day. Great repair. Great product. Came with two tips in case I need to do another hull repair in the future. 10/10 would recommend.

I chose thixo as an alternative to panel bond to bond a fiberglass hood scoop to an aluminum hood. I purged the first 8” of product to ensure that I had a good mix. I applied to a clean ground 36 grit fiberglass surface. I attached scoop to a clean ground 36grit aluminum surface. Temperature was in the 70-80s. Screwed self tappers in along with a couple clamps. I left the piece alone for 52 hrs. Pulled clamps off and the back of it immediately popped loose. Pulled all screws out and all 4 corners were popped loose. The adhesive is well cured and sharp so be careful when handling it. The adhesive is stuck to the fiberglass piece but not at all to the aluminum. I cleaned the aluminum with acetone beforehand. I can’t give the product a bad score because it filled any cracks or cuts in fiberglass very well. Should I have used an etch primer or even epoxy primer on the aluminum before hand? I bought 2 tubes so I do have another tube to try again.

Nice thick epoxy. Did the job.
