BASIC NO BLUSH™ Marine Epoxy - The Professional's Choice when Price, Quality, Reputation, and Performance matter

Our most popular and least expensive marine epoxy. This is our basic epoxy. 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. 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. The competition don't have anything like it.

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.

This epoxy has a fast 'time to sand' (i.e. "Hard Set" very rigid, provides max strength and abrasion resistance ). Users report sanding the next day after application. Many epoxies take several days to become hard enough to sand (unless they are very brittle). No Blush has both quick sand time and not nearly the brittleness of many other marine epoxies. It also brushes out really nicely as a clear coat on a flat surface. Note: Allow 36 - 48 hours for enough curing time to provide a strong bond/adhesion to surfaces.


Now available with a "slow" summer curing agent and a "fast" winter time curing agent.

This is the industry's first epoxy to be offered at pennies above the raw material costs - with the savings going back to you. You're basically paying wholesale or less prices for this product (which would sell to you for about $75 per gallon if our competitors had this product)


A nice medium (I think perfect!) viscosity. Average/short potlife (about 30 - 50minutes - see potlife link below).

1/21/05 - How good is our No Blush Epoxy? I just saw a new ad in one of the boat building magazines by one of our competitors, a giant in the epoxy business. In the ad they compare themselves to "no blush" epoxies (they even include the quotation marks). The starndard term is non-blushing, not "no blush," so we are pretty certain they are referring to our epoxies. Imagine that. We, the little mouse has the giant moose on the run! - No names here, we don't want to hear from their lawyers (but we'll let you know if we do hear from them). What they don't mention in their ad are their prices, exotherm, and brittleness.

Hey there,

I finally finished my boat. It is covered one end to other with y'alls epoxy. I really like your Basic No Blush marine epoxy and still no rash!

Mike Fields

(Mike had suffered from Epoxy Sensativity and skin rashes from other epoxies. We don't know why he had no rash problem with our epoxy, but we're pleased that he didn't!)

“I started building Puffin in January of this year, and launched her in July. I have made a few changes to better meet my needs. Puffin is a joy to sail. She is fast and very forgiving. The pic I’m sending was taken in 25pmh plus wind on Greers Ferry Lake, AR. I plan to sail in the Gulf, and island hop along the Mississippi coast this summer.”

I bought a 3 gallon kit of basic no blush 2 last summer and have been very pleased with it. It's good stuff and I could afford
to make learning curve type mistakes at your price. The high cost of epoxy at the local West Marine store was just too
much and it kept me away from epoxy for too long.

I will be ordering more soon but I'm coming up short on the curing agent, I spilled some a while back. Would it be possible
to buy an additional quart when I make my next order?

Thanks, David

No problem, David. We can sell you an extra quart of curing agent.

Excellent web site!!! I have started testing your "Basic No Blush Epoxy". Wow! Good stuff and affordable too. I intentionally incorrectly mixed your product to test its sensitivity to mix ratio variations. Very, very forgiving. The pot life is very consistent even with some variation in ratio and set up is consistent as well. It also does not seem to flash as easily as other epoxies I have worked with. I got by working in the 16 oz. mixing cups without having to pour to a wider flat bottomed container. I usually wait till an epoxy starts to flash or just slightly heats up in the cup before I pour it into an ice cream bucket. That is of course not a summer time practice but my shop can get down to 60 F. in the winter. But your product did not seem to heat a lot. I was even a little nervous about it setting up but it cured like a champ! I am very happy with your Basic No Blush and I'll be back for more.

Sincerely yours -- J.A.

paul-

My little company in upstate NY produces seaplane pontoons and an occaisional 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.

Paul, throw in 4 bags of the "e-z thick". I think the last order I got was of the 1 gallon bags.also.

FYI..... I have used your epoxy on alot 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 strenght. 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 completly sealed. You guys are helping me restore a 35 yr. old wooden cutter, Thanks again.

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.


The Basic Blush exceeded my expectations. Customer service and the order process is exceptional. I'd recommend your products to others.
Thanks

Unlike our competitors, we like to develop a partnership with our customers by turning them into educated buyers. That means discussing not just the benefits and plus of our epoxies but also pointing out the weaknesses and possible problems. The other guys just don't do this. they either downplay or ignore any bit of important information that might risk losing your business. We don't think that is right. It is certainly not the fair and honest way to do business. Visit our competitors' sites and search for any information on: 1) amine blush, 2) shipping restrictions, 3) nonyl phenol/enamel paint drying issues, 3) potlife issues, 4) price gouging/markups, 5) UV yellowing, 6) formulated epoxies vs raw resin vendors, 7) customer comments and feedback.

We want to earn your business by being honest and upfront with you. You'll find our prices are good (too low to attrract distributors or agents), with honesty and service second to no one.
