The revolution has begun!

The Epoxical 574 epoxy system is taking over the hovercraft market.  Why?  Simple. The product is almost too good to be true.

• The strength numbers are approximately DOUBLE that of competing products.
• There is NO amine blush (the greasy film you sometimes get on cured epoxy)
• It dries quickly, yet has an excellent pot life
• The price to performance ratio is outstanding

Slipstream is proud to be the first and only to offer this epoxy to the hovercraft community.  We’re confident that once you try Epoxical 574, you’ll never go back to any other resin.

Epoxical is now available with your choice of three different hardeners; SLOW, MEDIUM, and FAST. The strength characteristics are exceptional regardless of hardener, so all you have to do is choose the cure and pot life you're looking for. We recommend MEDIUM for the majority of applications. Fast generally works better if you're always in a cool environment (<60 deg F) and slow is good for hot environments (>85 deg F). As with most epoxies, around 75 deg F is the optimal working temp.

Epoxical 574 is sold as a 2 part kit which includes 8 pounds (apx. 1 gallon volume) of resin and 2 pounds (apx. 1/4 gallon) of hardener. The mix ratio is 4 parts resin to 1 part hardener by weight, or 3.5 parts resin to 1 part hardener by volume. As with all epoxy resins, accurate measurement and mixing is critical to achieve top performance!
