Know your fillers: 403 vs 407

403 Microfibres Adhesive Filler: The structural filler. A blend of cellulose cotton fibers used to thicken epoxy for bonding. Add 4–16% by weight for good wetting-out of the substrate and excellent gap-filling properties.

407 Low-Density Filler: The fairing filler. A microballoon-based filler built for fairing putties that stay strong on a strength-to-weight basis but sand easily. Add 20–40% by weight for a smooth, workable compound.

➡️ Rule for wooden boats: bonding a joint or seam into the structure → 403. Fairing a hull or deck smooth before varnish or paint → 407.

Our 105 system is compatible with all WEST SYSTEM® fillers. You can purchase online or through a local retailer: https://bit.ly/3KZRjTq

Know your fillers: 406 vs 409

406 Colloidal Silica Filler: The structural filler. General-purpose thickener for bonding, filleting, and gap-filling. Add 3–8% by weight to prevent resin sagging on vertical or overhead repairs. Ideal for hull-side patches or filleting a repair into the laminate.

409 Microsphere Blend Filler: The fairing filler. A pure white, hollow-glass-bubble filler purpose-built for filling and fairing GRP. Add 10–25% by weight for a smooth, creamy paste that sands easily, and because it's white, it disappears behind paint or gelcoat.

➡️ Rule for GRP repairs: filleting or bonding into the laminate → 406. Fairing the repair smooth before gelcoat or paint → 409.

WS Marine has been the exclusive distributor in Italy for WEST SYSTEM® Epoxy for decades, a partnership that has stood the test of time in one of the world's most demanding markets.

Account Manager for WS Marine, John Watson: "I have been working alongside them for a few months, but what immediately stood out to me is how their technical expertise is equal to, if not greater than, their commercial knowledge."

WS Marine thrives on being present in shipyards and stores throughout Italy, bringing extensive experience in boatbuilding, laminating, and repair processes. We evaluate not only the most suitable product, but also the production process and the environment in which the boat will be repaired and/or built, even before ordering a single drum of resin.

Whenever a question arises that requires our technical input, and not just a recommendation about which product to use, WS Marine is able to provide all the support needed to find the right solution.

If you are building or repairing boats in wood, fiberglass, or carbon anywhere in Italy, you can contact WS Marine directly.

WS Marine will be waiting for you at the Genoa Boat Show.
➡️ 1st - 6th October 2026, 
➡️ Pavilion B, Superior Stand TB19. 

See you there!

Accessories for every epoxy job 💪 

A perfect mix means nothing if it's applied wrong. From mixing pots and spreaders to brushes, syringes, and roller covers, every tool in the WEST SYSTEM® range is built to work with our epoxy system, not against it. The right tool changes how easily epoxy goes on, how well it wets into a surface, and how much time you spend on your project.
