Perfect
This product worked perfectly for filling voids in the soft spots of my boat floor. Thank you for sending me to free mixing cups with five to one ratio on them. I bought 200 cc syringes mix the epoxy first put in the syringe inject into a hole you put over the soft spot Perfect

Easy to work with when you follow the mixing instructions
I am building a wooden boat and I chose to use the TotalBoat Epoxy Resin Kit (Gallon size, Slow Hardener) to fiberglass the wooden hull. This is a 5 part epoxy to 1 part hardener. The kit includes pumps for the epoxy and the hardener along with some disposable gloves and two mixing/graduated plastic cups. The cups have markings for several mixing ratios. I used the 5 to 1. Fill the cup up to the level you think you need and add the hardener up to the hardener line. Stir for at least one minute to 2 minutes and go to work. When it is properly mixed it will look clear as water. I have been pleased with the working time of the epoxy. If you are working in direct sun and/or hot weather, you may find that it starts to set/harden quicker. I am working outside in the shade and I have plenty of time to apply epoxy, fiberglass and more epoxy over the fiberglass before it even begins to harden...hardens overnight.

Superb wood filler
Rather than replacing more than a dozen rotted deck boards. I decided to try to fill the "ravines." I tried many wood putties: n'yet . Bondo? n'yet (Became unworkable too fast for my application). This kit with its slow hardening was perfect. Beyond being simple to use, with the two attached pumps pre-measuring the correct amounts of the resin and hardener. I decided to WILDLY experiment with "additives." First, I added a couple of scoops of Durham's Water Bingo! Mixed easily and perfectly increased the amount of the glop and was easy to spread into the ravines. Dried hard as a rock but it must be abraded hard for painting. Next, I stuffed steel wool into craters, which are deeper than ravines. Then I infused the steel wool with the mixed epoxy. Why? Epoxy bonds with steel and throws off heat to boot. The gaps I filled with steel wool and epoxy are clearly stronger than the original wood fibers because solid steel....Btw: you can perform microsurgery on the "treated" steel wool if you have a competent grinder with attachments. Finally, I mixed grout with sand into the epoxy. Why? Because the sand in this concoction, when used to fill shallower gaps, provided a surface onto which coating would better adhere. Success.Moral of the story: I would have been far, far better off, prying up the deck boards, purchasing new ones, and installing them. Why didn't I do it? I am a retired desk jockey and when I started the project more than a year ago, I did not have the carpentry skills to cut and replace the boards. I have them now. Absolutely no regrets even though the filled-in boards are less than cosmetically perfect.Two warnings: you should absolutely not experiments with epoxy additives. Use only those that the manufacturer prescribes. My outcomes were fine but yours may be disastrous. Second, I could care less about bubbles in the epoxy. Accordingly, my recommendations are expressly limited to the use to which I put the product.

Easy to work with. Dried to a sold clear finish.
Our travel trailer had bad delamination spots on the side walls from our roof leaking. I watched a bunch of videos of others using total boat to fix the areas. We ended up using clamps and a spray gun to spray the total boat into the bad spots and let them sit overnight. If I did it again I would just use a syringe and inject the total boat into the area as the spray goes everywhere and you cant build it up in the real bad areas.Some spots we used a brush to get a good coat on. It worked very well and when looking at the areas they look just as good as when we bought the trailer. Next I want to try and use it and do a flood coat on a table of some sort.

Easiest Dispensing Ever
The pump system makes this the easiest epoxy to measure and dispense. No guessing as to correct ratios.

Yes yes yes!!
Really like this, the pump fill setup is great, no guessing if the mixture is hot enough or cold enough. Definitely worth every penny

Product worked very well.
I had never used Total Boat fiberglass epoxy before. I usually use the West System. I bought the kit that had a gallon of epoxy because I needed sufficient quantity to do 4 crowder/herding boards. My spouse and I volunteer at the National Marine Life Center in Buzzards Bay, MA. I was requested by NMLC' animal care team to produce 4 additional crowder boards because we were to release 6 seals at Scusset Beach the following week. We had only released a maximum of 3 seals at one time previously. NMLC rehabs injured and stranded seals and endangered Kemps Ridley Sea Turtles. The boards are used to move the seals towards a crate or in this case to encourage the rehabbed seals to go towards the ocean instead of towards the bystanders or the parking lot. NMLC is a non-profit so cost is very critical. I bought the gallon size kit because then NMLC could use what remained to fix the two fiberglass pods we have that are always in need of repair. I used the pump system included in the kit to measure out epoxy. Product worked well and the seals have been released without incident. I mixed the product in the deep part of roller pan, applied the epoxy and used a small squeegee to return the excess to the roller pan. I then repeated the process on the remaining 3 crowder/herding boards. I used the slow hardener because of concern that I needed to do four sides of the 24" x 44" boards and did not want it to cure while applying it. It was extremely humid the week I used the epoxy and it required about 30 hours to fully cure. Worked great and product was delivered the day after I ordered it.

Total Boat 5-1 slow cure epoxy
The media could not be loaded. Total boat 5-1 epoxy is great to work with. Used it with carbon fiber sleeve on my flagpole project.
