The SilverTip Marine Epoxy Series from System Three Resins is made up of five, application specific products, designed to make wooden boat building easier and more enjoyable as well as perform better than any other epoxy available today.
Gone is the mess and inconsistency of repeated measuring and mixing of powdered fillers.
No more blushing and worries about secondary bonding.
Our SilverTip kits consist of four products; Laminating Resin, GelMagic adhesive, EZ fillet, and QuickFair.
Below are descriptions of each from System Three:

SilverTip Laminating Resin is a med-low viscosity, liquid epoxy system that has been optimized for coating and reinforcing fabric saturation in wood-composite boatbuilding. It will outperform any other product in these applications. SilverTip Laminating Resin is designed for use with fiberglass, Kevlar, Dynel and graphite as well as on bare wood. It has superior wet-out characteristics with little tendency to foam or trap air. Both the resin and hardener are nearly colorless and are used in an easy 2:1 volumetric ratio. SilverTip Laminating Resin cures to a brilliant blush-free film with either the fast or slow hardener eliminating secondary bonding concerns as experienced with other epoxies. The working time is longer than most boat building epoxies without sacrificing cure time. The cured film is tough and resilient with better heat resistance than other room temperature cured epoxies.

GelMagic is a toughened, non-sagging, two component, structural epoxy adhesive designed for superior bonding to wood and most porous materials. It is unique in that it starts as two self-leveling liquids, which immediately form a soft, thixotropic, non-sagging paste when mixed. Measuring is easily accomplished by either volume or weight. GelMagic requires no additional modification with fillers and can be applied to vertical and overhead surfaces without running, eliminating the mess and waste associated with other epoxies. Gel-Magic exhibits exceptionally high peel strength and employs a state of the art, two-phase epoxy morphology, which creates an adhesive bond that is more tough, resilient, resistant to embrittlement and possess better elevated temperature properties than other room temperature cured epoxy adhesives. GelMagic can be post-cured up to 140 degrees for even greater performance.

EZ Fillet is a wood flour-filled two-part putty specifically designed for stitch-and-glue wooden boat construction. Its ketchup-like, self-leveling consistency allows it to be measured by volume or weight. The resin (part A) is brick red in color while the hardener (part B) is a deep, dark green. A rich brown wood tone results when the two parts are combined indicating complete mixing. The putty thickens after mixing to form an easy to spread, thixotropic compound, which stays put and will not run or sag. EZ Fillet has been designed for superior strength and workability and can be used by itself to create smooth cosmetic fillets or as a structural fillet when combined with fiberglass cloth.

QuikFair is a lightweight, microballoon-filled, fast-curing two-part epoxy fairing putty with excellent moisture resistance. The two color-coded parts have a non-sagging, butter-like consistency and are easily mixed to form a third color. At 70°F. QuikFair is sufficiently cure to be hand-sanded in 3 hours or machine sanded in 4 hours. This allows the user to apply three coats each 24 hours in a standard eight-hour shift or six in a round the clock basis.
