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!)

When performing structural fiberglass repairs on your boat, matching the original laminate thickness is key to restoring the strength the designer intended.
👇
This simple measuring step removes the guesswork and ensures your repair is structural, not just cosmetic. See the full stringer repair video on YouTube for the complete process!

How much strength are you leaving on the table when installing fasteners? 🤔
In our latest long-format video, WEST SYSTEM® Technical Advisor Don load-tests multiple fastener installation methods to show what actually holds and what fails when moisture gets involved.
We compare: 👇
🔹 Dry fasteners
🔹 Fasteners in wet wood
🔹 Epoxy-soaked holes
🔹 Oversized holes filled with thickened epoxy
🔹 Removable fasteners with embedded nuts
🔹 Solid wood vs. composite core panels
Sealants alone don’t last forever. Epoxy-based installation methods dramatically improve holding power and protect against moisture intrusion that leads to rot and delamination.
If you’re installing deck hardware, motor mounts, or winches, this video shows how to do it right the first time.
