Mixing 1 gallon of Part A with 1 gallon of Part B produces approximately 9 cubic feet of expanded 2-pound foam. That is roughly 34 times the combined starting liquid volume, although actual yield depends on temperature, mixing and application conditions.

A 4-pound density pour foam expands to roughly 4.5 cubic feet per mixed gallon set (1 gallon Part A + 1 gallon Part B).

Marine pour foam is a two-part expanding polyurethane foam mixed 1:1 by volume (equal parts Part A and Part B). Fiberglass Florida carries 2 lb and 4 lb density foams.

Divinycell is a high-density PVC core material widely used in marine, wind energy, and aerospace applications due to its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and thermal insulation properties.

Coosa Bluewater contains continuous-strand fiberglass and woven fiberglass reinforcement, making it generally stronger and stiffer than an equivalent-density Coosa Nautical panel. Bluewater is commonly selected for transoms, stringers and structural decks, while the lighter Nautical series is often used for cabinetry, interior panels and less demanding structural applications.

Closed cell polyester foam core, it is an economical alternative to other core materials.

For a standard 6'1" shortboard with a 6/4 oz deck and 4 oz bottom lamination, plan for approximately 3 yards of 6 oz cloth and 6 yards of 4 oz cloth, including waste.

Resin Research 2000CE is the top choice for surfboard building and repair. It’s a 2:1 mix epoxy system designed for clarity, strength, and UV resistance—ideal for both lamination and hot coats. Fiberglass Florida is your #1 source for Resin Research epoxy and surfboard building supplies.

Silmar 249A & 249-B Polyester Surfboard Resin is a premium surfboard laminating resin widely used by professional board builders. It offers excellent clarity, UV stability, and reliable cure performance when mixed with MEKP catalyst. Silmar 249A is the standard clear laminating resin. Silmar 249-B contains a UV inhibitor for improved color stability and reduced yellowing over time. Both are ideal for fiberglass surfboard lamination and are compatible with traditional surfboard construction methods.

How Do I Do a Hot Coat on a Surfboard Using Silmar 249A or 249-B? A surfboard hot coat, sometimes called sand resin, is the final resin layer applied before sanding and polishing. It’s made by mixing Silmar 249A or 249-B with Wax Solution (Mod C) before...

A lamination coat bonds fiberglass cloth to the blank, while a hot coat (sand resin) fills the weave, hardens the surface, and creates a smooth finish ready for sanding and polishing.

Reichhold Gloss Resin is used as a surfboard gloss coat resin to create a hard, tack-free, high-gloss finish over laminated polyester surfboards and fiberglass marine surfaces.

Fiberglass Florida sells Presta Products. Some options are, Super Cut Compound, Gelcoat Compound, Ultra Polish, Max Finishing Polish.

Gelcoat is a resin-based coating that is typically used as the outer layer of fiberglass composite structures. It provides a smooth, durable, and glossy finish. Awlgrip is a brand of polyurethane paint designed for marine applications. It is used as a topcoat to provide a durable, long-lasting finish.

For fresh gel coat: level with 400 (or 320 if heavy peel), then wet-sand 600 → 800 → 1000 → 1200/1500 → 2000, followed by compound (wool pad) and polish (foam pad). If the gel coat is thin or only lightly textured, start at 800–1000 to avoid cutting through. Don’t skip grits; keep the surface cool and lubricated with soapy water.

After finishing at 1500–2000 grit (or finer), compound with a wool cutting pad and a marine cutting compound, then polish with a foam pad and a finishing polish. We carry Buff and Shine® pads and Starke® and Presta® compounds/polishes to cover the full cut → finish workflow.

Use a 3/16" nap pink mohair roller cover—low-lint, solvent-resistant, and smooth-laying for gel coat. Avoid foam (adds bubbles). If you need extra build on rough/texture, a ¼" mohair can work but may leave more texture; tip off with a quality natural-bristle brush if needed.

Awlgrip 545 Epoxy Primer is a high-performance primer used to prepare surfaces for painting. It offers excellent adhesion and corrosion protection. To use it, clean and sand the surface, apply the primer in even coats, and allow it to cure according to the manufacturer’s instructions before topcoating.

Awlcraft 3000 is a premium, two-component acrylic urethane marine topcoat developed for professional spray application. It improves marine finishing with deeper, more accurate colors, high gloss, fast drying and a finish that can be buffed, polished and spot-repaired—making painted boat and yacht surfaces easier to maintain.

Yes, Awlcraft 3000 is fully repairable and can be blended and buffed for seamless repairs.

Most colors achieve full coverage in 2 coats, but some colors may require 3 or more coats.

Yes, Awlcraft 3000 can be buffed after curing to improve gloss and blend repairs.

Awlcraft 3000 must be mixed 2:1 by volume (Base to Awlcat #2 G3010 Converter) before reducer is added.

Use an air-atomized spray gun with a 1.0–1.2 mm fluid tip and 29–36 psi air pressure.

Minimum recoat time is 30–60 minutes depending on temperature, with full cure at 21 days.

Awlcraft 3000 is considered the upgraded system with improved color depth and modern pigment technology.

Structural repairs restore strength, while cosmetic repairs focus on appearance and surface finish

Structural repairs use biaxial or woven fiberglass like 1708, while cosmetic repairs typically use chopped strand mat or lightweight cloth.

Chopped strand mat is commonly used with polyester and vinyl ester resins to build thickness and improve bonding.

Because each layer relies on a controlled secondary bond, and over-curing between layers can weaken adhesion and cause defects.

Isophthalic gel coats provide the best gloss, while vinyl ester gel coats offer higher strength and heat resistance.

Barrier coats reduce print-through, strengthen the gel coat, and improve mold surface cosmetics.

Most fiberglass boat repairs require resin, fiberglass reinforcement, surface-preparation abrasives, fillers, fairing compound, application tools and a compatible gelcoat or marine-paint finish. The exact materials depend on whether the repair is cosmetic or structural and whether the damaged area contains a core material.

Awlgrip 545 Epoxy Primer is a high-performance primer used to prepare surfaces for painting. It offers excellent adhesion and corrosion protection. To use it, clean and sand the surface, apply the primer in even coats, and allow it to cure according to the manufacturer’s instructions before topcoating.

Before primer, sand to 180 grit. After applying Awlgrip 545, sand to 320–400 grit before the topcoat; lightly scuff 320–400 between topcoats for best finish.

Aerosil is a fine powder used to thicken resin and prevent it from running or sagging. It is commonly added to bonding mixtures, repair pastes and fillets.

Milled fibers are short fiberglass strands mixed with resin to create a stronger, reinforced repair compound. They are commonly used for filling small gaps, chips, holes, joints and damaged fiberglass areas.

P-14 – Best all-around marine filler and top seller; fast set, easy sanding, bonds to fiberglass, metals, and more. P-11 / AP112 – Fiber-filled bond & fill; strong adhesion for deep repairs before fairing. P-17 – High-heat filler; handles up to ~446°F for tooling or engine areas. P-77 / AP077 – Styrene-free, easy-sanding filler; heat resistant to ~392°F.

Catalyze F 206 LF/LM with MEKP at about 1% at 77°F (25°C) (keep within 1–2%). Expect gel time of 3–6 min for LF and 8–12 min for LM (100 g mass). Adjust MEKP for temperature (slightly more in cooler temps, less when warmer). Do not use below 65°F (18°C). The LM version has a color indicator to confirm a thorough mix. Apply with a spatula/trowel; allow to cure fully before sanding. Use PPE and good ventilation.

Use Aerosil to thicken resin, Q-Cell for lightweight fairing, milled fibers or chopped strand for added reinforcement, bonding putty for joining parts, and fairing putty for smoothing surfaces. The correct choice depends on whether the repair requires strength, bonding or easy sanding.

Micron CSC uses a self-polishing ablative formula that continuously exposes fresh biocide, preventing marine growth without paint build-up.
