PRODUCT GUIDE
Which Evermend epoxy do I need?
The right Evermend product depends on the size of the repair and how you want to apply it. Answer two quick questions, or compare the range below.
Which product for which job
1 Hour Cure Cartridge – for small surface repairs and same-day jobs. It has a 5-minute working time and cures in 50–60 minutes, so you can sand, prime and paint the same day. Needs a twin-cartridge dispensing gun.
4 Hour Cure Cartridge – for larger, deeper repairs from 5 to 50 mm, such as cut-out rot, rebuilt profiles, splices and window joints. It gives you 25–30 minutes of working time and is non-slump, so it holds its shape on vertical and overhead work. Needs a twin-cartridge dispensing gun.
4 Hour Self-Mix Pot – the same 4 Hour resin in pots you measure and mix by hand. The best choice if you don't have, or don't want to use, a dispensing gun.
Epoxy Wood Stabiliser – use it before every repair, whichever resin you choose. Brush it on generously and leave at least 20 minutes for it to soak into the fibres, consolidate soft timber and give the epoxy a strong key.
Common questions
Can I use 1 Hour Cure on a large repair?
It's designed for small surface repairs. With a 5-minute working time, larger or deeper repairs are easier with 4 Hour Cure, which gives you 25–30 minutes to work.
Do I need a gun for the cartridges?
Yes. Both cartridges need a twin-cartridge dispensing gun, which mixes the resin automatically as you dispense. If you'd rather not use a gun, choose the 4 Hour Self-Mix Pot.
Do I really need the Stabiliser?
Yes. Stabiliser soaks into the timber, consolidates soft fibres and gives the epoxy a strong key. Apply it before every repair and leave at least 20 minutes before the resin goes on.
Can I use Evermend on vertical or overhead surfaces?
Yes. Both the 1 Hour and 4 Hour resins are non-slump pastes, so they hold their shape on vertical faces and overhead work.
What temperature can I apply it in?
Apply 1 Hour Cure between 5 and 25°C, and 4 Hour Cure and Stabiliser between 5 and 30°C. Cold slows the cure and heat speeds it up.
