Shock resistant epoxy?

[stadiumyamaha]

Anyone know of a good shock resistant epoxy that is easily found.
Adding a battery tray that will bridge the v in the bottom of a revolt. I'm afraid the standard 15 min epoxy will fail over time due to being to hard. The revolt hull is pretty thin and flexes a lot.

G-force epoxy from West Marine or
Permatex Ultra Blue Sensor Safe Silicone from your local auto parts store
Gforce is formulated to be flexible and bond well - be sure to rough up the areas to be joined

use shoe goo strong as epoxy and flexible

Cool. Thanks
I going to go by a marine dealer tomorrow to see if I can find the marine tex.

[stadiumyamaha]

Or the ones you mentioned. Thanks again.

Very flexible bond and ultra strong Best sealant I've ever used (and I lived aboard a 40' wood boat for 15 years)

West System epoxy is one of the best on the market jason. If you have already used something, sorry for the delay, if not, i wouldnt use anything else! Bank on er!!

I agree that G-Flex is the best/strongest epoxy - I use it exclusively on all my builds BUT the OP asked for a FLEXIBLE bond - G-Flex cures rock hard, 3M 5200 is very flexible and will answer the requirements requested; " The Revolt hull is pretty thin and flexes a lot"

Thanks guys. I'm going to go to the marine dealer tomorrow to find it.

Jay,

Here's a blob of 3M 5200 showing its flexibility (crappy vid but it does the trick) - And it makes a VERY STRONG bond - It does just what your after- I've used it in similar situations and it worked perfectly

That is what I'm looking for. Any retailers sell it or is it mostly an online thing?

I've seen 5200 at Wal Mart in the boat area here in WA. Was cheaper than West Marine. Ace Hardware might also carry it.

West Marine stores, or likely any marine supply house. A little "googling" should help you locate it

[iamandrew]

you could just use Poylester resin as well, it dosent set AS hard as west system, commonly used in full fibrelgass canoes to get a bit of flex
