Now available in three versions (standard, 'cold weather-winter' (fast), and 'hot weather-summer (slow)) - same low price for each! The summer version has twice the potlife of the regular version - for temps over 80 degrees.

VACUUM BAGGING - one of our customers regularly does Vacuum Bagging construction. He uses both our Basic No Blush with either the standard or slow cure (to give him time to set up the equipment). Sometimes he blends the two curing agents to adjust the work time.

The 1.5 gal units of Basic now come in one gallon plastic jugs. We offer pumps for these jugs. They are $11.50 a pair and one stroke of the pump dispenses about 1 oz. of product. The pumps do not work with the 3 quart kits of Basic No Blush. On our online, 3rd party storefront, you'll find the pumps listed with the Basic No Blush™ on the 'resins page'. Note: we don't really like the 'pump' approach to epoxies, but a majority of boatbuilders want the pumps and we've learned it is all about providing the customers with what they want and need and not about pushing my personal view on to the marketplace. I find their quality lacking, but we only get 1 or 2 complaints per 100 or so pumps we sell and we've not be able to find better alternatives to what we offer. So, pump away!

No Blush™ Product Philosophy:

Basic No Blush™ is our cornerstone product. It was designed and priced to "Knock the socks off the competition" in quality and price and thus steal enough of their business to --- read more, click here!

11/24/08 AUTHOR'S NOTE: I'm doing epoxy/fiberglass cloth boat building here in NH using the Basic No Blush with the Winter (fast) curing agent. The epoxy is stored in my basement at 50 degrees. The boat building is happening in my garage at temps in the mid 30s. The epoxy is hard the next day.

Our most popular and least expensive marine epoxy. This is our basic epoxy - (boat building - fiberglass repair, etc.). To get a similar non blushing epoxy from our competitors you have to 'upgrade' from their regular product at considerable additional cost. Yet Basic No Blush is still cheaper than even their 'regular' epoxy. We get lots of emails and telephone calls from users (including long time users) of the other major marine epoxy brands. They usually complain about issues they are having with 'their old brand' - amine blush, set times, price increases, etc. They are ready to try a replacement product. These folks have convinced me that we have the BEST marine epoxy in addition to being HALF the price of the other brands. Try our 12 oz sampler, 3 quart unit, or 1.5 gal unit and see if you don't agree with them.

Our upgrade from Basic No Blush™ is our Premium No Blush™ (see below) which contains superior Cycloaliphatic curing agents - CLICK HERE for more information. It also contains no Nonyl Phenol or Formaldehyde (formaldehyde in competitor's curing agent - click here). The competition don't have anything like it. Find out why we have a 2:1 mix ratio instead of the 5:1 ratio used by one of our competitors - click here). Enamel (oil based) paints applied over fresh epoxes with Nonyl Phenol (that is nearly all epoxies) have extremely slow drying.

We don't think you can beat our prices. Basic No Blush™ has been our most popular epoxy: super price, perfect viscosity (I think - one of our other major competitors sells a very thin marine epoxy - actually we do too - see Low V below). It has become a favorite with home builders of strip and stitch/glue boat hulls.

P22 built with Basic No Blush Epoxy

Most of the 25 gals of Basic No Blush Epoxy I used went into the Xynole polester sheathing I used instead of fiberglass. I haven't used glass much but my sense is polyester takes about twice the epoxy. The designer's estimate was 15-20 gals total, and I think only about 5 actually went into gluuing the boat together.

The thing I like most about the no blush (besides the price) is that you don't have to wash it down between coats. Sort of obvious from the name, but I found that to be a big plus since I only had an hour or two each night to work on the boat, so it was very convenient to be able to pick up in the middle of a filleting job for example one night to the next without having to worry about whether the epoxy would stick to last night's work, or whether the wood had throroughly dried in cases where I would have otherwise had to wash or wipe it.

paul-

My little company in upstate NY produces seaplane pontoons and an occasional racing sailboat. Loved your basic noblush.
you should mention that when mixing large batches (1/2 gallon) it doesn't do the exotherm thing as quickly as west. On a warm
day with west you almost can't finish mixing before it starts to get hothothot.

FYI..... I have used your epoxy on a lot of various applications, from thinning it for deeper penetration/sealing, to thickening for bonding multiple wood components and the stuff is great. All exterior wood gets one coat of thinned epoxy, then 2 coats full strength. then i have applied 10 coats of poly spar varnish. I have had a piece of hon. mahogany in a bucket of water for 3 months and the finish is still perfect and completely sealed. You guys are helping me restore a 35 yr. old wooden cutter, Thanks again.

I purchased a basic no blush sampler back in March to try and make some aquarium decorations. I used PVC pipe, epoxy coated aquarium rocks and your epoxy with a fair amount of thickener. I used your advice and waited a week before using to let the epoxy cure completely and put it in the aquarium. The pictures show the results. The blue one has been in the aquarium since the middle of May (the picture is from a week ago) and the pink one is for my daughter.

I take good care of my tanks, testing and maintaining the water quality and, making sure the fish are healthy. The blue one is in a 90 gallon with almost 30 fish and 2 frogs and I haven’t experienced a single problem.

I could probably use any epoxy but your customer service was exceptional. Understanding that epoxy is non toxic after it completely cures and to watch for any additives that may be toxic were key to a successful experiment.

Thank you,

Hi, I'm using your Basic No-Blush epoxy and Low V epoxy (mixed with 10% xylene as a penetrating epoxy) and its
great! Much nicer to work with than the Everstar epoxy I have worked with in the past. I'll be ordering more shortly.

THANKS FOR THE KIND WORDS.

I have two questions:1. Do you have a product you would recommend for painting the bilge and inner transom of
the fiberglass boat I'm restoring. I'm looking for something white and economical, that will go over epoxy repairs,
preferably without any fancy primer, and seal out water, grease, fuel, etc.

OUR WATERGARD 300 COMES IN WHITE AND CAN BE APPLIED UNDERWATER IF NECESSARY (OR
DAMP AREAS LIKE YOUR BILGE). IT IS ALSO OUR #1 BARRIER COAT EPOXY. NOTE IN SUNLIGHT THE
WHITE WILL YELLOW TO A GOLDEN COLOR (NOT A PROBLEM IN YOUR BILGE). OUR CM 15 EPOXY
PAINT (WHICH DOES CONTAIN SOME SOLVENT) IS CHEAPER AND EASIER TO WORK WITH BUT ONLY
COMES IN IVORY (FILE FOLDER COLOR) OR BLACK.

2. Does the Low V epoxy blush? I.e., should it be washed / sanded before other epoxy is applied over it?

IT DOESN'T SEEM TO. IT WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED FOR CONCRETE CRACK INJECTION AND SO IT
ACTUALLY CURES ETC ON WET OR DAMP SURFACES.

Thanks for the help and great, reasonably priced products!

Aaron R.

I have been using basic no blush (standard cure) on my plywood boat, and I have been impressed. I work on the boat when I have time and sometimes that means a dry 75-80 degrees, or a hot and humid 95. The epoxy seems to be very accommodating to temperature and even an accidental improper mixing a time or two. I am ready to fillet large areas and have been using no blush with wood flour and have been getting nice looking fillets. I need to place another order soon...

Basic No Blush (tm) Marine Epoxy and the Wind & Oar Boat School The Wind & Oar Boat School is located in Portland, OR (http://wind-and-oar-boatschool.org/). Currently (7/11) they are working on a St Ayles skiff, with a group of 10 completely novice women doing the build. Its the first all women build and the first on the west coast. The St Ayles Skiff is a Iain Oughtred design done for the Scottish Fisheries Museum and now the cornerstone of the Scottish Coastal Rowing Project (http://scottishcoastalrowing.org/). Last fall WoodenBoat Publications picked up the concept and got 5 high schools in Maine to start the boat and I am mirroring the idea for high schools in Portland. The first youth boat will start this fall but in the mean time a group of women approached me about building one too. The Wind & Oar Boat School is building communities through building boats. We encourage groups of all shapes and sizes to experience the camaraderie, team building, collaboration, and self confidence that arise from working towards a common goal. When it came time to decide about epoxies, the school turned to Michael Bogoger (Dory-man) for advice. He suggested your product and we've been extremely happy with it. The forgiving nature of the Basic No-Blush (tm) marine eopxy has been ideal for a school situation where many people are mixing and consistency is not necessarily high. Michael has covered our build on his blog several times and this link http://dory-man.blogspot.com/2011/06/wind-and-oar-boat-building-school.html) is to one of his posts where you can see us using the No Blush epoxy. product. Whether you want a group team building exercise or a grade school introduction to wood and water, the Wind & Oar Boat School will tailor a course to fit your needs. Our first build is a group of 10 women, of diverse ages, who without any woodworking experience are now building a 22 foot St Ayles Skiff.

Each piece then was about 32 feel long be about four ft. The Premium blend worked great even in 85 degrees temp.

--- and about 18 months later....

Hi Paul and co;

I just did a test with your Premium blend epoxy and a very highly recommended slow epoxy from a major competitor.

I work in a hot plastic tent with heavy biax fiberglass so exothermic reaction/pot life is very important! So I tested the Premium blend and your best competitor. The competitor 's epoxy and your Premium were pored about two inches deep in plastic containers about two inches deep. The other stuff heated up quite warm in about twenty-five minutes or so at 22C degrees ,not bad but yours lasted much longer ! I didn't need it as the plastic cup got only a little warm ,not as much as the other guys by far!

So send me 50 gallons more please! I'll get in touch for the details.
thanks
Jim (Canada)

NOTES FROM JIM ON SHIPPING TO CANADA

We have twice had two packs of twenty-five gallon Premium Blend Epoxy trucked across the border to the Canada Customs Bond Warehouse in Hamilton On.

We know roughly when the shipment is due and wait for the call to come pick up the goods. We then head over to the CC Bond warehouse and show our picture ID ,ie Drivers license. Then pay the GST/PST. No charges for the warehouse were asked for as we were there on the first day that they called.

The Customs agent acts as the Broker ,so they need to know what to classify the goods under ,in this case it's classified under glue. We then sign for the goods and pick up the 50 gallons of PREMIUM BLEND Epoxy in our case. It's best to be there at a quiet time as patience is required in this process, but it's worth it .

For proof of cost etc., Progressive Epoxy Polymers has the paper work on the boxes or the five gallon pails, so no problem there.

One way to avoid is having a Courier company just use their Broker.I've heard horror stories of Broker costs of $300. for small packages.So avoid that way by having it sent to CC Bond warehouse or picking it up at an address on the USA side.

Thought you might be interested in seeing a picture of my finished boat. I used exclusively your Premium No Blush epoxy on the hull with great results. Thanks for all your help and this great product. ---- Rick --- > Boat Builder/Happy Captain (9/09)

READ ABOUT IN OUR SEALER PAGE - CLICK HERE

Makes an outstanding Penetrating Epoxy - see our penetrating page

Read more about this product (and all our other 'sealers') on our "SEALER" page - CLICK HERE

A fast setting, very clear, very thin epoxy that is easy to apply by brush or roller. It is the product of choice if adding solvent to make a penetrating epoxy (thin 10% with xylene to make an outstanding penetrating epoxy. See our PENETRATING page) or copper powder to make an epoxy/copper paint. Bonds well to damp/wet surfaces.

A very thin epoxy. Very clear and no bubbles - only a trace of amber color. Simple 2:1 mix. Use to seal wood surfaces, especially inexpensive plywood. Can also be used with fiberglass cloth. Recommended epoxy for use with our copper powder additive. Also use as a primer on wood and other porous surfaces, especially under polyurethanes. Unlike our 'hard epoxies' (Basic No Blush, Premium No Blush, LTC 38) this epoxy has a bit of 'natural flex' when applied as a thin sealing coat.

Mix really well - with parts A and B so thin and clear it is very easy to mix poorly and have uneven mixing within the same batch. This will produce tacky sections that never get completely hard and tack free.

Note: We have seen this product fisheye on old wood surfaces that have been 'bleached' and then stained. The oils in the stain or 'teak oil' (perhaps something in the wood bleach, I don't know) seem to remain in the wood despite solvent washing, sanding etc. Old teak trim is a good example. We've seen Low V fisheye on old teak being refinished that seemed to be 'weathered down to just wood'. I think the fix would be (not tested) to 'seal' the wood from the epoxy, say with a coat of solvent thinned varnish which would not be as affected by residual oils.

EMAIL (FEB 06): Hello:

I just bought some of your Low V epoxy and it is superior in every way to the system 3 products I (formerly) used, their clear coat and mirror coat.

Less money, better adhesion, better flow, better release of trapped gas, clarity, speed of cure, and machineability. It's like night and day, and their product is nothing to laugh at!

Great Product, I will buy *whatever* I need from you in the future.....

GREG

EMAIL (March 09):

Remember me? I promised you a report on the results of using Low-V as an undercoat/sealer in a difficult exterior application (western red cedar porch steps). See email appended below. Here's an excerpt:

So I bought a gallon of Low-V, and I have started using it to treat my front steps. I have been thinning the Low-V with about 25% Xylene to increase penetration. I have to use 2 coats of latex to eliminate the brush marks and bare areas (as you advised earlier), and after 2 coats the coverage looks excellent and it appears to have bonded well. I'll let you know the results in about a year if you are interested in how well it stands up to the weather......

I thought you might like to hear a status update. Well it's been over 8 months, which included summer, fall, and winter weather, and the Low-V treated steps look great. There is NO blistering or peeling. The latex topcoat paint is adhering quite well. It hasn't endured rainy/warm/humid spring weather yet, but from what I'm seeing so far I am very optimistic. -- Russ

(Epoxy Sealer): USE AS PENETRATING EPOXY - WATERPROOF/SEALER

Read more about this product on our "SEALER' page - CLICK HERE

ESP 155 is a very thin, low viscosity, moisture tolerant, epoxy designed for priming and sealing. Use on wood and fiberglass to improve adhesion of urethanes and other paints. Firm up damaged wood. Unlike our competitor's penetrating epoxy, we pack 75% resin (vs. their 30%), enough to generally seal and prime in one coat (instead of several) yet with enough solvent (25%) to penetrate deeply. Also used as a concrete primer to reduce outgassing when top coating with solvent-free topcoats. A 1/2 gallon unit will probably cover about - 150- 200+ square feet of a fiberglass hull and about 100-125 square feet of porous wood. APPLY WITH BRUSH. Users report 1 1/2 gal kit enough to 'seal' the bottom (below the waterline) of a full keel 25-27 foot sailboat.

An example of just one application: priming glue lam layups prior to using regular unthinned epoxy. The thickened epoxy doesn't soak into the wood like solvent thinned epoxy. When regular epoxy is applied over solvent thinned epoxy like ESP 155 within a day or two of application, the two epoxies chemically bond to one another. This creates a two stage adhesion. The lower layer is the thinned epoxy soaked into the wood and the upper layer is the thicker 'regular' epoxy.

Generally epoxies used as primers use lots of solvents and the lowest quality epoxy available. ESP is an amazing exception, probably nothing else like it available. It uses a top of the line cycloaliphatic curing system as a starting point! The other 'penetrating/sealing' epoxies are very vague about the epoxy they use in their product - bottom of the line, el cheapo stuff I would imagine.

Alternative product: add solvent to our solvent free LOW V epoxy ALSO CM 15 - our solvent thinned epoxy paint!

Copper powder can be added to epoxies (including our ESP 155™ epoxy sealer), our traditional India Spar Varnish™, our clear water-based Water Prime™ epoxy, and our water-based acrylic sealer Bio Vee Gloss™ as a decorative pigment. Copper powder can be found in our Marine Catalog as well as in our Industrial/home Catalog.

A little bit of our brown and/or red pigment (marine link / res. link) added to our clear epoxy sealer - ESP 155™ (marine link / res. link), traditional India Spar Varnish™ (marine link / res. link), or our 2 part LPU clear polyurethane - Acrylic Poly UV Plus™ (marine link / res. link), works like a high end stain on wood surfaces without the issues of compatibility. Tinting a first coat of a clear product (with white pigment for example) can mean fewer fewer topcoats of white paint. Also it is much easier to brush or roll on an even, uniform layer of coating when that coating is slightly pigmented instead of clear. It is very hard to see what you are doing when applying a clear coating.

Use ESP 155 to 'seal/prime/smooth'

patched and repaired surfaces.
