Should I use the fast set Mercury adhesive 5 minute epoxy?

[ultrakook]

Can I use the Mercury adhesive fast set epoxy for repairing dings on a expiry board? It looks like this.

Depending on what type / construction of Epoxy that you have to fix.

[ultrakook]

I do not know but it says repair with epoxy resin.
I am a complete noob when it comes to repairing boards so can you also tell me what ratio of epoxy and hardener?

[waikikikichan]

Is your board that you want to fix:
1) Molded-epoxy ( some call pop outs ) or Sandwhich construction
2) Traditionally glassed but with EPS blank and Epoxy resin
3) Firewire timbertek

It’s a surftech tufflite. I don’t think it’s a pop out board size the quality is very good. It is traditionally glassed with epoxy. And it is not made of wood.

Best for those is to use a 2 part putty ding stick. ( some say it’s the same as plumber’s putty ). Inner layer is white, outer layer is blue. You cut off a piece and knead it until it becomes uniform in color. Push it into the ding area. Keep a cup of water ready and with a wet finger, smooth out the putty. It usually gets hard in 10 minutes. After fully cured you can sand it and rattle can spray the area.

I see, can you please give me a name for the putty ding stick? There are several brands.

[waikikikichan]

Surftech's Ding Dough and Surfco's Quik Fix putty is the puttys I've used in the past. I recently tried a Plumbers putty from the hardware store, and it didn't come out the same.

Thanks, you really helped me there

This is another 2part epoxy that works like Waikiki described. I’ve been using it for years and works great. Smooth it with a wet finger after applying and will sand smooth with a few passes of fine grit paper.

I got the pc-11, I just mix it on a 1/1 ratio right?

[Geezer]

Yeah….half n half, 1 to 1. Really easy.
