PC-11 Two-Part Marine Grade Epoxy
Just found this while looking around for some new epoxy. After reading some reviews it sounds like an easy to use, super strong epoxy and easy to mix with 1:1 ration. Has anyone on here ever used it?

I've used PC7 for stuff. Much like jb weld.

That stuff is not for building skis. Repairs maybe.

Agreed, I doubt you'll find a 1-1 ratio epoxy at a big box store, if that's what you're looking for. I would say West epoxy is probably the most readily available epoxy for our application. I've used QCM and use Resin Research now, all which are ordered by mail.knightsofnii wrote:if its easy to buy in stores, chances are it's weak and dumbed down for small jobs.
qcm/forrest. I doubt there's a 1/1 out there that will perform like the epoxies that were designed for ski/board building!!!

I'm curious why you have a desire for a 1:1 ratio? Even if it's 1:1 you should still be measuring accurately with a scale. And if that's the case, what difference does the ratio make? (if you don't have a scale, buy a cheap digital scale from harbor freight, and then use cheap plastic cups for mixing, don't waste your money on expensive measuring cups).
And the big red flag is that this doesn't bond to polyethylene. So... like most of your ski. QCM/Forrest, and Entropy SuperSap are often favorites amongst builders, and have epoxies designed specifically for compression molded laminates. I use the SuperSap CPM and I love it.
The way this describes being mixed on a flat surface makes it sound like bondo or JB weld. I don't think this stuff is meant to go in a composite, it's just a repair or bonding agent.

I also wonder why 1:1 ratio important.twizzstyle wrote:I'm curious why you have a desire for a 1:1 ratio? Even if it's 1:1 you should still be measuring accurately with a scale. .
Entopy sell pump kit it makes perfect 1:2. Cost about $10 iirc didn't find need to used scale to measure epoxy
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
