Description of ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Versatile WEST SYSTEM Epoxy Resin Quart: Ideal for DIY Projects and Professional Applications

105 EPOXY RESIN is the base material on which all WEST SYSTEM 105 System epoxy compounds are built. It is a clear, pale yellow, low-viscosity liquid epoxy resin. Blended at the correct ratio with one of 4 WEST SYSTEM hardeners, it cures to a high-strength solid that is functionally waterproof, highly resistant to moisture vapor. Based on which hardener you choose, it cures at a wide range of temperatures. THIS EPOXY IS EASILY MODIFIED with WEST SYSTEM Fillers, Additives, and Pigments to create the necessary handling characteristics to suit the job at hand. Whether you need to create a pigmented coating, high-strength epoxy joints, a fairing compound, or low-friction surface, WEST SYSTEM 105 Resin is modifiable to meet your project's requirements. COMBINED WITH WEST SYSTEM 205 Fast Hardener or 206 Slow Hardener at a 5-parts resin to 1-part hardener ratio, 105 Resin cures, developing superior physical properties at room temperature. It has excellent structural bonding properties, can be modified with fillers and additives, and will easily coat fiberglass other porous substrates. COMBINED WITH BLUSH-FREE 207 Extra Clear Hardener at a 3-parts resin to 1-part hardener ratio, 105 Resin is excellent for coating and fiberglass cloth applications where an exceptionally clear, moisture-resistant, natural wood finish is desired. It will not blush or turn cloudy, even in humid conditions. Thin film applications roll out and tip off smoothly, requiring less sanding in preparation for finish coatings. COMBINED WITH 209 Extra Slow Hardener at a 3-parts resin to 1-part hardener ratio, 105 Resin is especially well suited for general coating and structural bonding applications in extremely warm and/or humid conditions or when working time is needed at room temperature. Forms a clear, amber-colored solid with excellent physical properties and moisture-vapor resistance.

Part of a great epoxy system

I have used West System epoxy for many years and have never been disappointed. If you are unfamiliar with this product I recommend checking out the excellent website that explains how the different products work together. They also have many repair manuals and are used as a protective varnish. This is the smallest of the 3 size options. Resin is available in correct size. Dosing pumps, which must be purchased separately, make it easy to dose resin and hardener in the ideal ratio. Pumps workโ€ฆ

Pros
  • IN COMBINATION WITH BLUSH-FREE 207 Extra Clear Hardener at a ratio of 3 parts resin to 1 part hardener. , Natural wood paneling is desirable. It does not stain or cloud even when wet. Thin film coatings roll out and finish smoothly, requiring less sanding in preparation for the final coating.
Cons
  • Available in white only

I used this for a rustic oak floor project where epoxy was injected into nail holes, work holes, cracks and loose knots. This is my first time using this system and I am very happy with the ease of use (especially with metered pumps!) and the results. I applied some black epoxy (chalk powder) and some clear (I used #207 hardener). In fact, I even made some big holes with a black layer and filled them with transparency for an interesting look. I used a colloidal thickener for the holes that went

Pros
  • THIS EPOXY LUBRICANT IS EASILY MODIFIED WITH WEST SYSTEM fillers, additives and pigments to achieve the right handling characteristics for the job at hand. Whether you need to create a pigmented finish, high strength epoxies, a flow bond, or a low-friction finish, WEST SYSTEM 105 resin can be customized to meet the needs of your project.

Works as it should

I was looking for a way to reinforce a 1" copper tubing feeder I made. Concrete would be cheaper, but trying to pour concrete into a 1 inch diameter pipe would be difficult and messy. The tensile and flexural strength of epoxy is also much higher than that of concrete. I simply put a funnel on top of the pipe and filled it with West System 105 and 205 hardener, which is what makes epoxy the strongest. The feeder is now much stiffer, probably like 1" galvanized pipe or better. It's filled justโ€ฆ

Pros
  • USED WITH WEST SYSTEM 205 Fast Hardener or 206 Slow Hardener at a ratio of 5 parts resin to 1 part hardener, 105 resin will cure to excellent physical properties at room temperature. It has excellent structural bonding properties, can be modified with fillers and additives, and easily coats glass fibers with other porous substrates.
Cons
  • Slightly dented
