TotalBoat Thixo Epoxy Adhesive

Easy to use. Managed to fill in several small below waterline screw holes from a transom mounted transducer on my boat. Applied acetone on a rag, got rid of any old 5200 gunk that would interfere with the thickened epoxy, reamed the screwholes, screwed the mixing tip on, laid about a foot of the first mixed epoxy on a cardboard box to prime it, and then began filling the holes. Set in about a day. Great repair. Great product. Came with two tips in case I need to do another hull repair in the future. 10/10 would recommend.

I needed an adhesive for a R/C crane barge project that I am working on. The bottom and the deck are very large, so I needed something to glue 1/8th inch plywood down to the frame, that was not going to set up on me while applying the glue and it had to be applied to the frame stiles with accuracy. I found out about this stuff at Jamestown Marine and it sounded like just what I was looking for. It is applied with a caulk gun and the mixing tips allow pin point accuracy to apply however much glue you need. It is slow to cure, is thick enough so it does not run all over the place, and it sands ease when cured. PERFECT!!!

Don’t be fooled. The product is great But it’s only half a tube of product. A little bit of epoxy for a big price

works great! very expensive and maybe deceiving ? thought i was buying full size caulk tube, ends up these are only 185ml where as a standard caulk tube is 300ml. didnt make halfway through a tube and she was already empty! shocker until i read label! shame on me... wont buy again because of cost. There are other suitable brands for better value.

Second time to purchase. Used to fill voids, old screw holes and attach top cap to hull. Does not sag, sandable when dried and easy to use. Only down side is when using a regular caulk gun you really have to apply pressure so it mixes in the tips provided.

I chose thixo as an alternative to panel bond to bond a fiberglass hood scoop to an aluminum hood. I purged the first 8” of product to ensure that I had a good mix. I applied to a clean ground 36 grit fiberglass surface. I attached scoop to a clean ground 36grit aluminum surface. Temperature was in the 70-80s. Screwed self tappers in along with a couple clamps. I left the piece alone for 52 hrs. Pulled clamps off and the back of it immediately popped loose. Pulled all screws out and all 4 corners were popped loose. The adhesive is well cured and sharp so be careful when handling it. The adhesive is stuck to the fiberglass piece but not at all to the aluminum. I cleaned the aluminum with acetone beforehand. I can’t give the product a bad score because it filled any cracks or cuts in fiberglass very well. Should I have used an etch primer or even epoxy primer on the aluminum before hand? I bought 2 tubes so I do have another tube to try again.

If you do work with epoxy it's messy stuff especially when you need to add filler to get it thick enough. This stuff simply works like a caulking gun and mixes in the nozzle. You can get replacement nozzles so no job is too small and material wasted. The consistency is just right for gluing, bonding, filleting, permanent caulking. You can even brush it to get a thick coat on wood endgrain and ply. I strongly recommend this product.

So I’m using this tube of thixo and partly way through my gun stops, but I’ve barely used any of this tube. After cutting it apart, I find out they have a plastic stopper that only lets you use a 1/4 of the tube. Like when You’re buying this you’re getting a 1/4 of the tube. Not a full tube of thixo very disappointing and my project is half completed with thixo on half of it.
