Dura-Plate 235





Dura-Plate 235 Multi-Purpose Epoxy is a modified epoxy phenalkamine, formulated specifically for immersion and atmospheric service in marine and industrial environments. Dura- Plate 235 provides exceptional performance in corrosive environment, and can be applied at temperatures as low as 0°F.

  Self-priming, Low temperature applicationSurface tolerant - damp surfaces, Provides salt water and fresh water immersion resistance, Cures at temperatures as low as 0°F


This stuff covers great.  These images are just 1 coat.  I will put on a second coat after a cure of 48 hours.  Very forgiving, cures a little slower below 32 degrees but nothing that will throw you off.  Bonds well, hard as nails. The only down side is it is VERY expensive.  Almost $80/gallon.  I have gone through 3 gallons in this refit.  But as a primer coat I don't know if it can be beat.  We will see in the coming years if it holds up well.
