SUNPOWERED DURA RESIN – DING REPAIR KIT

 Important Note : Cover sheet required before exposing resin to direct sunlight for these products:
SunPowered Dura Resin  / Universal SunPowered Kits  / Universal SunPowered Bulk Resin

1. Work in a shaded area and wear proper dust mask when sanding.
2. Sand surrounding area and rough or loose pieces to provide good adhesion of the new resin.
3. IN THE SHADE:  Apply fiber filled Dura Resin to the damaged area.
4. MUST USE COVER SHEET before exposing wet resin to direct sun.   Thin Saran style plastic or tape works great to go around hard to cover areas, any clear plastic works.  Use the clear cover sheet to contour the resin and remove any air bubbles before moving to direct sunlight.
Full sun cures in 1 to 2 minutes. See the Phix Doctor Cure Clock for curing times in your area.

Frequently asked Questions…

1.) How fast does it cure? Very fast with the cover sheet applied before exposing to sun.  Full sun Dura Resin cures in 1 to 2 minutes, cloudy days take longer – Check out The Phix Doctor Cure Clock to learn more about cure times anywhere in the world.

2.) Does Dura Resin have fiber? Yes, Dura Resin is strong!

3.) Will it work on my epoxy surfboard? Yes, and cost less than other uv epoxy resins while cleaning up with soap and water!

4.) What is the shelf life? Endless…Guaranteed.

5.) Can I buy it in my local surf shop? Click here to see a growing list of retailers in your area, or drop us an email at info@phixdoctor.net, and we’ll find one.

6.) Is it safe for all surfboards? Yes, Dura Resin is the safest resin made for use on both epoxy and polyurethane foam cores.

7.) Is it necessary to use the clear plastic smoothy sheet? Yes,  to cure really fast you’ll want to use the clear cover sheet or tape or for hard to cover areas a thinner saran style plastic works well  to cover Dura Resin before moving direct sun. If a plastic cover sheet is not used, curing will still occur up to the very surface, this will leave a sticky film that is not preferable, but  can be wiped away.  We recommend always using a plastic covering for ultra fast one to two minute curing.

8.) I have a ding that’s longer than the smoothy /magnifier sheet, what can I use as an alternative? We haven’t found a clear piece of plastic that doesn’t work, but you can also order back ups of our premium cover sheets on our website.

9.) Is the clear smoothy sheet re-usable? Yes, and  claer tape or any clear sandwich bag, plastic or the clear wrap from just about anything works fine.

Dura Resin is VOC FREE = No Volatile Organic Compounds….no nasty fumes!!

SUNPOWERED UNIVERSAL (EPOXY/POLY) – DING REPAIR KIT

INSTRUCTIONS

MUST USE CLEAR COVER SHEET ON WET RESIN BEFORE EXPOSING TO DIRECT SUN!!

1. Work in a shaded area and wear a dust mask when sanding.
2. Sand away loose pieces and rough up the immediate surrounding area to create a solid bond to repair area.
3. Pre-fill deep holes with a mixture of Q-Cell (Dry white powder) and resin. Mix the Q-Cell with the resin in the mix cup to create a thick, pourable mixture and fill deep holes to within 1/8th inch from surface. Add mixture in 1/4 inch layers to allow sunlight to penetrate and harden then repeating the buildup process until the hole is properly filled leaving room for one final top sealing coat or resin and fiberglass.
4. If ding is over 1/2 inch in diameter it is recommended to cover with fiberglass patch that over laps the ding by about an inch for the final layer. For Fin Repairs please refer to our website (below) for “how to” videos since they require detailed instructions.
5. In the shade apply SunPowered universal resin with the mix stick to the fiberglass patch saturating the fiberglass (if used) and making sure there are no air bubbles.

NOTE: Use the clear smoothy cover sheet to cover the wet resin and remove the air bubbles and contour the resin to the surrounding repair area before moving to the sun for faster curing.

SUNPOWERED POLYESTER - DING REPAIR KITSUNPOWERED POLYESTER – DING REPAIR KIT

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Use the sand paper to rough up, clean and dry repair area to create good adhesion of resin.
2. Deep holes should be pre-filled by mixing the white powder (micro balloons) with the resin in the cup provided. Work in the shade to create a thick, but pourable mixture and apply to voids in quarter inch layers exposing each layer to sun until hardened. Repeat this process until the void is nearly filled.
3. If the ding is more than a half inch across its best to overlay a piece of fiberglass by about one inch, larger dings require a larger overlap.
4. In the shade apply resin to the repair. Optional step: Lay the clear smoothy sheet over the resin working out the air bubbles as you contour the resin to its desired form.
5. Expose the repair to full sunlight or an ultra violet lamp. High sun cures in 2-3 minutes, low light takes longer.
6. After resin is hard remove the smoothy sheet and finish sanding if needed.

1. Use the sand paper to rough up, clean and dry repair area to create good adhesion of the new resin.

1. Use the sand paper to rough up and clean the dry repair area for good adhesion of the new resin.

2. Deep holes should be pre-filled. If this step is not needed then refer to step 4. In separate cups provided pre-mix the epoxy resin and hardener at 2 parts epoxy, 1 part hardener in separate cups very thoroughly making sure to mix along the bottom of the cups as well, then combine the resin and hardener into a third cup, and mix for an additional 1 minute, then add the white powder (Q-Cell) mixing until a thick, but pourable liquid is achieved. Fill the void to nearly level height leaving room to add a final coat of clear epoxy resin and fiberglass if needed.

4. Mix the desired amount of epoxy resin and hardener in separate cups in a ratio of 2 parts epoxy resin and 1 part hardener very thoroughly and then combine them in a third cup and mix again for 1 minute.  Apply mixture to the ding saturating the fiberglass (step 3 if needed) and filling any voids.

Frequently asked Questions…

1.) My Super Sap Resin feels like it hardened in the packaging. Answer:  Because of Super Saps high bio content, it will solidify at temperatures around 73f / 22c.  A Remedy for this is to place the closed resin container in a warm room until it re-liqufies, or placing the closed container in warm water for about 10 minutes, or until the resin has re-liquified.

2.) I can’t get the resin to harden. Answer: Our most common issue here is pre-measuring and pre-mixing.  This is overcome by precisely measuring Part A (resin) and Part B (hardener) into separate cups, mixing them SEPARATELY and then combining them and mixing them THOROUGHLY.   Even the bottom corners of the the mixing cup need to be mixed!

3.) The hardener (Part B) turned a yellow or amber color, will this effect the clarity of the finished repair?  Answer: No

4.) What types of surfboards can I use this epoxy kit to fix? Answer: Super Sap Epoxy is safe to use on both styrofoam /EPS foam cores, this includes most stand up paddleboards, and polyurethane foam core surfboards.
