Product Description

WEST SYSTEM 105 EPOXY RESIN is used as the base material for the system epoxy compounds. A clear, pale yellow, low-viscous liquid epoxy resin, it is the base material for all epoxy compounds. It builds to a high-strength solid that is functionally waterproof, vapor-resistant and highly resistant to moisture vapor when properly blended with one of the WEST SYSTEM hardeners. It can cure at a wide range of temperatures depending on the hardener you choose.
If you need an epoxy surface coating that is pigmented, an epoxy joint with high strength, a fairing compound, or a low friction surface, WEST SYSTEM 105 Resin is easily modified to match your project's needs.
WHEN 105 Resin is cured at room temperature and combined with WEST SYSTEM 205 Fast Hardener or 206 Slow Hardener at a ratio of 5 parts resin to 1 part hardener, superior physical properties are developed. Using it as a coating for fiberglass or porous substrates is easily accomplished, since it has excellent structural bonding properties, can be further modified, and is easy to apply.
If combined with Blush-Free BLUSH-FREE 207 Extra Clear Hardener, 105 Resin generates an exceptionally clear, moisture-resistant, natural wood finish. This resin can also be applied as a coating on fiberglass cloth and other substrates. No blush will appear on it or any cloudiness will result even under Application of thin films rolls out smoothly and tips off without requiring very much sanding in preparation for the final finish.
Combining 105 Resin with 209 Extra Slow Hardener in a 3 parts resin to 1 parts hardener mix ratio is most suitable for general coating and structural bonding applications in extremely humid and warm climates as well as when working time at room temperature is required. The solid forms a clear, amber-colored solid with excellent physical properties and a resistance to moisture and vapor.

Questions & Answers

Could this and the hardner cover a significant amount of ground?

Add 1 quart resin to 1 ounce of water. The user manual for the 2 qt hardener at www states that it covers 90 to 135 square feet. The West System. Please visit www.com. Due to its volume, it doesn't change significantly when it cures, so you can calculate everything, for instance. The first line must be A quart is equal to 69 cubic inches 100 square feet is equal to one cubic inch. The thickness of the sheet is 005".

Is the surface likely to become hazy after I sand it? Would it be possible to clear it up again if it were buffed out?

If you sand the finish, especially with an 80 grit sandpaper, it will get hazy. However, you can polish it and then sand it with 600 grit paper to make it clear again.

The hardener is not included in the package. ?

In short, yes. A great hardener I use is 206 hardener. This pot has a life of 45 minutes, cures in about 14 hours, and is ready to use after 24 hours. Try curing epoxy with 205 if you want it to cure faster.

Are 3D prints easier to smooth with this method?

It is possible for you to do that. Though it will be thick, it will be warm. Furthermore, if the 3D printing material is too much exposed to UV, it becomes yellowish overtime, so consider that when deciding what to use as the base color.

Selected User Reviews For West System 105-A Epoxy Resin,Clear

Everything went according to plan
5/5

In order to stiffen the birdfeeder I made from 1" copper pipe, I went looking for ways to do it. Concreting the pipe would have been cheaper, but it would be hard and messy to get concrete down a 1" pipe. As well as the tensile and flex strength of epoxy, it is much higher than concrete. To make the strongest set epoxy, I simply topped the pipe off with a funnel and filled it with West System 105 and 205 hardener. There is a lot more stiffness to the feeder now, probably 1" galvanized pipe or something of that nature. Currently the epoxy is filled just up to the lower feeder arms, but I plan on filling the rest soon after drilling weep holes on the highest parts of the arms, which I will temporarily seal with tape once the epoxy leaks Now I have to do some math in order to figure out how much mix to put in each cup.

This is the first time I have used Thanks for the wonderful pumps you put in my rustic flooring project! I am thrilled! The epoxy was injected into nail holes, work holes, cracks, and loose knots in a rustic oak floor project that I was working on
5/5

For the first time I have used this system, and I have been very satisfied with the ease of use (especially the measured pumps). A sentence describing the conditions (and results). My epoxy was black with chalk line powder (chalk line powder) and clear (I used hardener #207). As a matter of fact, I even filled some larger holes with black, then topped it with clear for a more When I used the colloid thickener for those holes that went through the boards, the thin epoxy ran through easily. Before laying down the floor, I sealed the most of these holes with caulk or liquid nails. However, there were a few that I missed.

It is one of the BEST EPOXY SYSTEMS on the market today
5/5

Mixed with the West System 205 Hardner, this resin works exceptionally well. Other hardeners are made with different cure times, used for a variety of My experience with it was expansive in the Marine Industry, where it was extensively used for indoor and outdoor projects. There are many pricey pieces of equipment, but they work. Lamination of wood projects such as building a transom plate for an outboard motor can also be done using this product. Getting the easy/fill spouts which go on the various containers of West System products would be a good idea. The mixing is made. This is a foolproof and easy method.

The wood crack filler is perfect for filling cracks
5/5

epoxy is used for filling cracks in wood so that it will last through time. In my case, I use Trans Tint dyes to tint epoxy. The 105 and the 205 hardener I use are both effective. I can't think of anything wrong with this. He is like a rock when it comes to hardness.

An epoxy system that is the best
5/5

As far as professional epoxy goes, this is the best It is impossible to compare this to anything else on the market. Usually, this can also be obtained from auto body and paint suppliers, however, the price is much higher. You can visit the West System website for a complete line of West System products and information about the company the website is very informative. I use the 105 for general home renovations. Use of this product must be in accordance with the directions provided.

An Epoxy Component is a great part of a great system
5/5

West System epoxy has never disappointed me in all the years I have used it. It would be useful for you to visit their excellent website to learn how all of the products work together if you are unclear about this product. As well as tutorials on how to make repairs, they provide how-tos on how to complete One of the three options available in this size is the smallest. The resin size corresponds to the resin size. In addition to the metered pumps, which must be purchased separately, the proportionate measurement of resin and hardener is possible with them. All of the pumps work with all of the sizes.

If you are purchasing resin and hardener, make sure to match them by group letter
5/5

For more details on the product's performance, I'll let other reviews speak for themselves. There is a lot to look forward to. Just to make sure that first-time buyers know something that may not be obvious It is important to buy resin/hardner according to the letter of the group. In this case, the hardner to buy is "105A", so what you buy should be "205A", "207A", etc. A product's volume is correctly matched to that of products in the same group. A pump kit can be purchased in the same way. Make sure you check the product groups, since they are made specifically for those products.

This is horrible
3/5

I need to rewind my 8 foot slab of redwood since the product never set. My disappointment continued when I contacted the manufacturer and was told to scrape it off and increase the heat. An hour of prep later, we still didn't get the desired results, after almost a WEEK AND A HALF it continues to not.
