To Fair or to Bond, That is the Question….

FAIRING(verb): To make the connection or junctions of surfaces smooth and even by filling low spots to achieve a fair and smooth surface.

Example of Fairing:

To fair and smooth the hull of a boat with LBI 340 or 940 to remove hollows and waves to create a perfect surface for a high gloss finish.

“Many of us have seen that a high gloss finish will show every imperfection”

340 FAIR-SO-LITE

940 VINYLESTER FAIRING COMPOUND

Marine grade lightweight vinylester fairing compound.
Made with non-water absorbing fillers.
Can be used on fiberglass laminate, wood and metal.
Vinylester compounds have higher bonding & structural strength than polyester compounds.
Has better water resistance than polyester compounds.
Excellent adhesion to sand blasted steel and aluminum or chemically etched aluminum.

BONDING(verb): to connect or bind.

Examples of Bonding:

To bond a deck to a hull with LBI 345 or 945 Bonding Compound.
To bond coring of balsa, honeycomb, PVC foam (Divynicell), plywood or any other material to a fiberglass or composite laminate.
To fill larger voids (up to 3” thick for 345 and 1.5” thick for 945) for bonding and base fairing that require a thick glass reinforced filler that will resist cracking.

345 BOND-A-LITE

Marine grade, glass reinforced polyester bonding and large void filling compound.
Hull to deck bonding.

945 VINYLESTER BONDING COMPOUND

Marine grade, glass reinforced polyester bonding and large void filling compound.
Hull to deck bonding
Core bonding
An excellent “trowel in place” core.
