Specifications:

• Brand: Protite
• Weight: 1 kg
• Type: Large Fibreglass Kit

Features:

1. Fibreglass Material: The kit includes fibreglass cloth or mat, which is used to reinforce and repair surfaces. Fibreglass is known for its strength and durability, making it suitable for a variety of repair tasks.
2. Resin: The kit contains resin, which is used to bond the fibreglass cloth to the surface being repaired. The resin hardens to create a strong, durable finish.
3. Hardener: Along with the resin, the kit includes a hardener that is mixed with the resin to activate the curing process. The combination of resin and hardener forms a solid, hardened layer.
4. Application Tools: Often, kits like this include essential tools for application, such as brushes or rollers for applying the resin, and possibly a spatula for smoothing.

Applications:

• Repairs: Ideal for repairing and reinforcing damaged surfaces, such as boat hulls, car body panels, or other fibreglass structures.
• Construction: Useful for building or modifying fibreglass items, including creating custom shapes or reinforcing existing structures.
• DIY Projects: Suitable for various DIY projects that require fibreglass reinforcement or repair, including home and automotive applications.

Application Tips:

1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface to be repaired is clean, dry, and free of grease, dust, or loose material. Sanding the area may help the resin adhere better.
2. Mixing: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for mixing the resin and hardener. The correct ratio is crucial for achieving proper curing and strength.
3. Applying: Cut the fibreglass cloth or mat to the desired size. Apply a layer of resin to the surface, place the fibreglass cloth on top, and then apply additional resin over the cloth. Smooth out any bubbles or wrinkles using a brush or roller.
4. Curing: Allow the fibreglass to cure according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Curing time can vary based on temperature and humidity.
5. Finishing: Once cured, you may need to sand the surface to achieve a smooth finish, and then paint or coat as desired.

Storage and Safety:

• Storage: Store the kit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prolong shelf life.
• Safety: Use the fibreglass kit in a well-ventilated area. Wear protective gear, including gloves and a mask, to avoid contact with resin and fibreglass particles, which can be irritating to the skin and respiratory system.
