WEST SYSTEM Epoxy was created in 1969 by the Gougeon Brothers—sailors, builders and formulators who know the engineering and chemistry required for high-performance composite structures. As of 2025, Gougeon Brothers, Inc. now operates as part of the PRO-SET Formulated Resin Systems® portfolio. Our epoxy continues to be the best choice all these years later, serving the new generations to come just as we have in the past.

Your surface looks clean. But is it? 🤔
Surface contamination is one of the most common causes of epoxy adhesion failure, and it`s especially tricky because most of it is invisible.
Skin oils, mold release wax, silicone from the wrong rag, and even your compressed air line are some of the leading causes of epoxy adhesion failure. And sometimes, the cleaning process itself is the culprit.
If you`ve ever had an epoxy repair fail and couldn`t figure out why, this article is worth your time.

🧼 Strong bonds start with clean surfaces.
Before bonding the new stringer:
✔️ Clean with a degreaser to remove oil & grease
✔️ Wipe until the towel comes up clean
✔️ Follow with acetone or lacquer thinner in bilges & engine areas
⚠️ Always clean before grinding (don’t grind contaminants in!)

In this video, we walk through two real wood rot repairs: a rotted gable trim and a worn-down post end, both repaired using our Wood Rot Repair Kit and 407 Low-Density Filler.
This same technique works on fascia, exterior trim, posts, decorative wood... basically anything that`s rotted but still has good bones.

What do you do when you have a big idea but no rulebook to follow? If you`re Robin Benjamin, you just build it anyway.
The Hoopy is a fully rideable bicycle made almost entirely from plywood and WEST SYSTEM® 105/205-- zero fasteners in the frame. Nearly ten years later, the frame is still intact (even after a YouTuber tried his best to destroy it!)
If you love what`s possible when craftsmanship meets epoxy, this one`s worth a read.

Rotted wooden trim? 😬
Don`t sweat it. Rotted wood doesn`t have to mean full-on replacement.
We took a split and rotted section of gable trim and brought it back to its original shape using WEST SYSTEM Wood Rot Repair Epoxy. Neat epoxy goes in first to saturate the fibers, then a thickened batch using 407 Low-Density Filler sculpts it back into profile.
