Product
EPAR 802
EPAR 802 is a soft, smooth epoxy paste which is solventless and non-shrink. EPAR 802 can be applied up to 5mm thick on vertical surfaces without slumping and can easily be feathered out or sanded.
EPAR 802 is recommended for applications requiring finer tolerances than achievable with EPAR epoxy mortars or EPAR HPN epoxy paste.

EPAR 802 can be applied to concrete, cement fibre board, timber, tiles, metal, etc.
Limitations
For optimal performance with any epoxy system it is important to:
Proportion the hardener and resin accurately.
Thoroughly mix together until of an even colour and consistency.
Use the correct product for the conditions, especially during cold weather.
If potable water contact is required, then refer to EPAR EM Epoxy Mortar.

Product
FAIRFILL
FAIRFILL is a two-part, light and sandable epoxy fairing and filling compound. FAIRFILL is non-shrinking, nonporous and cold curing thereby allowing application in all temperatures. FAIRFILL is easily sanded using sandpaper, a power sander or other woodworking/finishing tools.
What's it used for?
The excellent finishing properties of FAIRFILL combined with ease of use make it an extremely versatile product for smoothing or filling surfaces before the application of a subsequent coating or paint. FAIRFILL is non-shrink and is easily sanded and finished.
As FAIRFILL is a cold-curing epoxy, curing will take place at temperatures down to 0 °C. There is no need to ensure that the ambient temperature or substrate temperature is above 15°C as is common with most other epoxy products.
What can it be applied to?
Common uses for FAIRFILL are:
Filling screw holes in fibre cement sheet.
Boats – smoothing hulls and other surfaces.
Repairing formwork.
Housing applications (timber poles, weatherboards, wallboards, etc.
Model making.
FAIRFILL is particularly suitable for filling gaps and holes in fibre cement sheets.
Limitations
FAIRFILL is not suitable for application to plastic substrates. FAIRFILL should not be used in applications subject to wear as, being sandable, it will be damaged by trafficking.
FAIRFILL may be used as an adhesive in appropriate applications (such as gluing timber back into weatherboards, etc), but a more suitable EPAR epoxy system should be used for more demanding applications.
