Marine
In our magazine ads we quote our founder and CEO, Kern Hendricks
when he said, "Boatbuilding Launched our Company".
We go on to say that this was indeed the case because in 1979
when he was building a boat Kern didn’t feel that the
available boatbuilding products measured up. He was inspired
to create a better marine epoxy resin. Since then, we’ve
spent over 20 years creating products and literature specifically
for wood/epoxy boat construction. Using the latest composites
technology System Three Resins has developed the next generation
of epoxy products – The
SilverTip Marine Epoxy Series.
Until now the approach to using marine epoxy was to combine
one general-purpose resin with a variety of hardeners and obnoxious
fillers to produce the various adhesives, coatings, putties
and compounds needed in boat construction and repair. This "chemistry
set" approach could give good results but was all too
often messy, inconsistent and unpredictable. With the SilverTip
Marine Epoxy Series, System Three has eliminated the use of
a general-purpose resin, and instead designed a separate resin
system for each specific application found in boatbuilding
and repair. This makes sense since the performance requirements
of an adhesive are not the same as those for a coating or compound.
All of the fillers have been properly selected and correctly
combined with the resin, eliminating guesswork and trial and
error mixing.
The results are products that are consistent
and exceptionally easy to use. Plus the performance of each
product in the SilverTip Series is optimized for its specific
application. There are 5 products in the SilverTip Marine
Epoxy Series: SilverTip Laminating
Resin, EZ-Fillet, GelMagic,
QuikFair and MetlWeld. The SilverTip Marine Epoxy Series Products
make wooden boat building quicker, easier, and more enjoyable
than ever before.
In addition to wooden boat construction, the SilverTip series
products are being widely used in composite boat construction.
We have provided products to hydroplane racing teams and manufacturers
of large ferry and fishing boats.
