Quick Guide: G/flex Epoxy Adhesive

G/flex is an excellent boat repair material. It’s a two-part epoxy that adheres to and bonds well on many different materials, including Hypalon®, PVC, urethane, most metals, wood, fiberglass and many plastics—even ones that are hard to glue, like polyethylene.

It makes a tough, waterproof repair that is more flexible than other epoxies. Bonds can absorb the stresses of expansion, contraction, shock, and vibration without separating.
