Solarrez’s tried & proven formula for over 20 years has saved many a kayak or surfboard from the perils of water ingress in countries all over the Globe. Simple to use: sand-prep (60 grit included) the surface around the ding, crack or small hole, squeeze out enough Solarez to fill the ding, cover the wet resin with a piece of plastic baggie, smooth it out (this is to aid the surface finish quality), and EXPOSE TO SUNLIGHT FOR A MINUTE OR TWO. Now, peel off the baggie and do some minor touch-up sanding with the 240 grit side (included) and GO SURF!
This is a LOW EXOTHERM formula that will not melt delicate EPS (Surfboard Foam) like other products. They don’t melt at first, but while curing, they exothermically create so much heat, they melt the foam and actually create a more cavernous ding than you had!
Solarez has glass and ceramic fibres in it which provides better adhesion, and impact resistance. That, coupled with a flexible resin gives Solarez Epoxy Ding Repair a tough, resilient finish. – IN LESS THAN THREE MINUTES

USER PRECAUTION:
It is always prudent to wear gloves, respirator and eye protection.
PRODUCT PRECAUTION:
Do not open container near indirect sunlight. Sunlight will cause the resin to begin the curing process.
UV CURE:
Natural mid-day sunlight in temperate latitudes is ample for good curing. Cure times are influenced by many factors; UV index (time of day, daily and seasonal arc-path of the sun, latitude, cloud cover, smog, altitude (higher altitudes cure faster). For indoor curing, UV LED flashlights lights are extremely effective but need to be 385nm type. Solarez makes 3 different size flashlights that function very well for curing this resin.
