VC Performance Epoxy
New Rollerable formula!
VC Performance Epoxy is a
two-part Teflon® bearing epoxy that has a hard, slick finish ideal for
use on the underwater surfaces of high performance powerboats and racing
sailboats. Teflon® adds lubricity and eases wet sanding and burnishing.
VC Performance Epoxy's hard, stain-resistant finish is also ideal for
rack-stored and trailered boats or boats that are kept in the water not
requiring antifouling protection. VC Performance Epoxy has no antifouling
or foul release properties. |
