Why it works

six reasons makers use Industrial Clear epoxy resin on marine

  1. Waterproof Protection

    Water has a way of finding its way into even the smallest gaps. Industrial Clear creates a seamless, non-porous barrier that keeps moisture out of wood and fiberglass surfaces, reducing the risk of rot, warping, and waterlogging over time.

  2. Built for Wood and Fiberglass

    From cedar-strip canoes and paddles to surfboards and boat repairs, Industrial Clear bonds with wood and fiberglass materials to create a tough, long-lasting finish built to handle demanding marine environments.

  3. Crystal Clear Results

    Your craftsmanship deserves to be seen. Industrial Clear allows wood grain, colors and details to shine through while creating a smooth, glossy finish.

  4. Ready for the Outdoors

    Sun, water, and changing temperatures are all part of life on the water. Industrial Clear contains UV stabilizers to help slow yellowing and is designed to withstand outdoor conditions once fully cured.

  5. Built to Take a Beating

    Marine projects face impacts, vibration, changing temperatures, and everyday wear. Industrial Clear cures to a tough Shore D hardness rating of 83 while maintaining enough flexibility to help resist cracking, creating a finish that’s built for real-world use on the water.

  6. Built for Repairs and Restorations

    Whether you’re repairing damage, restoring an older watercraft, or building something from scratch, Industrial Clear helps create a durable, waterproof finish that keeps your project looking and performing its best.

Will Industrial Clear fade in the sun?

Industrial Clear contains UV resistant additives that absorb and dissipate UV energy, helping slow the damaging effects of sun exposure including yellowing, fading, and loss of gloss.
