International Watertite boat filler
At a glance
- Epoxy boat putty
- Extremely water resistant
- Quick-drying and 1:1 ratio
Product description
International Watertite is a fast drying 2-component epoxy putty suitable for use on polyester, metal and stable wood constructions. This epoxy boat filler is extremely water resistant, making this product very suitable for osmosis repairs. In addition, Watertite boat filler has a simple 1:1 mixing ratio (volume) and can be applied up to 20 mm thick without sagging.
Apply the shrink-proof Watertite epoxy putty easily to various surfaces with a putty knife. After application, Watertite can be overcoated quickly with products such as Gelshield 200, Interprotect and Primocon. For overcoating times, see the properties and technical documentation.

-
The materials, substrates or tasks a product is intended for. A general claim such as 'suitable for plastics' does not mean it works with every type of plastic; the specific substrate and its preparation still matter.
- Polyester boten, Stalen-boten, Aluminium boten, Houten boten
-
The technical product category, such as primer, resin, hardener or cleaner. It explains the product's purpose and helps you find other products with a similar function.
- Putty
-
The recommended number of coats needed to achieve the intended coverage, thickness or protection. Highly absorbent substrates or different application methods may require additional coats. Allow for the specified time between coats.
- 1-2 coats
-
The period for which an unopened product remains usable under the specified storage conditions. Check whether the period starts from the manufacturing date or another date. Shelf life may be shorter after opening, especially for products sensitive to air or moisture.
- 24 months
-
Mixing ratio indicates how much of each component is needed, for example resin (A) and hardener (B). A ratio of 100:50 by weight means 100 grams of A to 50 grams of B; by volume you might use millilitres. Weight and volume ratios are not necessarily the same because the components may have different densities. Accurate measuring is important for proper curing.
- 1:1 (by volume)
-
The waiting time before an applied layer is dry or hard enough to sand without smearing or damage. Sanding too early can also clog the abrasive quickly. Layer thickness and temperature affect this time.
- 4.5 hours (23 °C)
-
Solids content is the proportion of material remaining after volatile components have evaporated from a coating. It is stated as a percentage by weight or by volume (%); these are not interchangeable. Volume solids content helps estimate dry film thickness: with 60% volume solids, a 100 µm wet film will theoretically produce approximately 60 µm of dry film.
- Approximately: 100%
-
Consumption or coverage describes how much product is needed for a given surface area. Consumption may be stated in g/m² or kg/m², while coverage is often given in m²/L or m²/kg. A consumption of 0.2 kg/m² means a theoretical 200 grams per square metre. Actual use depends on film thickness, substrate absorbency, application method and waste.
- Theoretical: 0.2 m²/L
- Net contents
- 1 L, 250 ml
-
The application or processing methods specified by the manufacturer, such as brushing, rolling, spraying, casting or hand laminating. The chosen method can affect consumption, layer thickness and finish.

Working time is the period during which a product remains workable after mixing or activation, usually given in minutes at a specified temperature, often 20 °C. With reactive resins, the chemical reaction also continues in the mixing container, and larger quantities or higher temperatures can shorten this time. Working time is different from gel time and full curing time.
- Approximately 25 minutes
