AN EPOXY ADHESIVE THAT STAYS FLEXIBLE AND COPES WITH STRESS
It’s always a challenge to choose the right glue that will stick stuff together and keep it that way in watery, windy, wavy marine conditions. Especially when the stuff you’re sticking together doesn’t hold still and moves continually due to temperature and humidity fluctuations, flexing, and vibration.

TotalBoat Thixo Flex is a thickened, flexible epoxy adhesive that cures fairly quickly to form permanent structural bonds resilient enough to flex and hold strongly when subjected to the expansion, contraction, vibration, and shock stresses that can affect boats and boat parts. For this reason, Thixo Flex is the perfect adhesive for building and repairing wooden boats.
 
STICKS TO A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS, EVEN WHEN THEY’RE DAMP OR JUST PLAIN DIFFICULT
Sorting through the multitude of adhesive products is enough to make you come unglued. Some work only on wood, others are better for bonding plastics. Thixo Flex can bond several different types of materials, as long as they’re prepared properly. Besides wood — even oily hardwoods like teak that are typically difficult to glue — Thixo Flex bonds fiberglass, aluminum and other metals, glass and ceramics, and most plastics, including ABS, PVC, HDPE, LDPE, and polycarbonate. Considering all the materials that make up a boat and its parts, Thixo Flex is the one adhesive that no complete marine toolkit should be without.
 
NO MIXING NEEDED, AND EASIER TO USE THAN OTHER THICKENED 2-PART FLEXIBLE EPOXIES
Some two-part pre-thickened flexible epoxy adhesives come with the resin and hardener in separate tubes. You have to squeeze out the right amount of each, mix thoroughly by hand, and hope for good results. Thixo Flex has the resin and hardener inside a single cartridge that fits most standard caulking guns (sold separately). Just twist a static mixing tip onto the cartridge, insert the cartridge into the caulking gun, and squeeze the handle. There’s no measuring. No mixing. No mess. Just point and pull the trigger to dispense a bead of adhesive measured to the exact ratio of 1 part resin to 1 part hardener and mixed thoroughly to get the perfect, reliable cure for gluing every job. Every time.
 
THIXO FLEX DETAILS
Pre-thickened, two-part epoxy adhesive cures to a flexible solid that forms permanent structural bonds.
High-strength bonds hold firmly when subjected to stresses from contraction, expansion, vibration, and shock.
Sag-resistant, easy to spread flexible epoxy is automatically measured, mixed, and dispensed through the included static mixing tip so it’s easy to get the exact ratio and a perfect cure.
Works on wood, fiberglass, metals, glass, ceramics, and some plastics.
Also bonds firmly to domestic and tropical hardwoods that are oily and typically hard to glue.
Ideal for use in building wooden boats such as kayaks and canoes, and for bonding parts that are prone to flexing.
Can be applied to dry, damp, or wet surfaces surfaces.
Long working time and easy cleanup.
Cured epoxy is waterproof, and can be sanded and painted.
Use above or below the waterline.
In addition to boat building and repair, you’ll find dozens of uses for fixing broken household items, sports equipment, and much more!
