Product Details

TotalBoat TotalFair is a lightweight two-component epoxy fairing compound used for fairing, filling, shaping, and repair. With an improved formula for mixing, application, and sanding, TotalFair is the ideal solution for marine repairs and boat restoration. The simple 1 to 1 mix ratio by volume of epoxy resin and hardener changes to a green color when the individual blue and yellow components are mixed properly. This boat fairing compound has excellent sag resistance on vertical, inclined, and overhead surfaces and is even easier to sand when cured properly. At 80F, TotalFair epoxy has up to 25 minute working time and is sandable in just 4 hours.

Provides excellent moisture resistance and can be used above or below the waterline on a variety of substrates. You can apply the fairing compound to fiberglass, wood, steel, and aluminum with proper surface prep. Quickly dries to create a hard yet flexible finish that flexes to minimize stress and prevent cracks or breaks. Use this epoxy putty for filling holes, repairing minor cracks, reshaping contours, and other boatbuilding and boat restoration projects. Available in pint, quart, and gallon kits.

2-PINT KIT: includes one pint Part A & one pint Part B.

2-QUART KIT: includes one quart Part A & one quart Part B.

GALLON KIT: includes half-gallon Part A & half-gallon Part B.

Note: Gelcoat should not be applied directly over TotalFair marine epoxy fairing compound or the gelcoat will not cure properly. Use an epoxy barrier coat primer like TotalProtect to coat over TotalFair before applying gelcoat.

Info & Guides

IMPORTANT!

Gelcoat should not be applied directly over TotalFair or the gelcoat will not cure properly. Instead, apply TotalBoat 2-Part Epoxy Primer or TotalBoat TotalProtect Epoxy Barrier Coat Primer over TotalFair, before applying Gelcoat. Primers are sold separately.

Additional Application Notes

  • When filling holes or gouges: Filling holes up to 3/4" thick may need a second pass, once cured. When fairing a large gouge (maximum depth fill), a 6:1 width to depth ratio is recommended per application. For deep/narrow areas that exceed 6:1, just apply TotalFair in stages, building up each time.
  • Do not apply TotalFair over 1-component previously painted surfaces. If you are not sure what the previous coating is, remove it before applying TotalFair.
  • If TotalFair crystallizes, simply close the containers completely and set them in a sealed plastic bag, with no air. Place the bag in a bowl of warm water (130-140 degrees F) for a couple of hours. This action will undo the crystallization, and the product will be the proper consistency for use.
  • When storing TotalFair for more than 1 month, cover the remaining material in each container with plastic sheeting before securing the lid tightly.

Total Fair VS West System 407

6 years ago
I may have to edit the cost comment. ""By my estimation, it also costs less than W.S. With W.S. at $89-99 for a gallon or resin, by the time you buy the resin, the various hardeners, and the fillers, you are probably at $125-145 per usable gallon."" When using W.S. and adding hardener and filers you obviously get more than a gallon of usable product. So as to cost, I'm not sure of the comparison but as to ease of use, sanding feathering and pinholes, I stand by my earlier review. robj

Q: null Can Totalboat Total Fairing compound be used to fill cracks in the gelcoat of a kevlar canoe. The hull is quite flexible will the fairing compound flex a little with the hull or will it crack? Thanks T

A: It does retain some flexibility when applied in thin layers. For a more flexible material to fill the cracks, you could also try TotalBoat ThixoFlex.

Q: null I am trying to fill pinholes in the gelcoat following sandblasting of my bottom to remove the existing layers of bottom paint. I plan to excavate the pin holes slightly with a Dremel tool to open them up to permit them to be filled more readily. I am considering using Totalfair as the filler before applying multiple coats of Interlux 2000e epoxy barrier coating. I have 2 questions: 1. Do I need to wet out the excavated pin holes with epoxy (I use West System 105) prior to applying Totalfair? 2. If I should wet-out the pin holes with epoxy, to avoid amine blush and the work involved in removing it, can I apply the Totalfair when the West System 105 epoxy is partially cured? Thankyou for your help!

A: You can not apply Total Fair over uncured West System. I would fill the pinholes with Total Fair first, sand it then apply epoxy. Using the epoxy first may weaken the adhesion of the fairing compound.

Q: null What is the coverage of TotalFair Fairing compound? I found an article by Eric Boudreau that lists the coverage for TotalBoat's Polyester Fairing Compound but I could not find an article or any information on TotalBoat's TotalFair Fairing compound. The dilemma: should I buy the 2-pint or the 2-quart sized package?

2 Answers

A: Coverage is determined by how thickly it is applied. Total fair and polyester fairing compound so the coverage would be basically the same.

A: Application temperature is 50-100 degrees, so likely you should be fine. Thinner coats will be best. Feel free to give us at a call 1-800-497-0010. Here is the URL to the tech data sheet. https://doc.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/pdfs/TotalBoat/TotalBoat_TotalFair_TDS_4.24.18.pdf
