Cleaning epoxy sealer // Rigger

[Albert Marroquin]

I seal my riggers with West System Epoxy 105, 205 I apply a coat let it sit for 15 minutes then wipe off the excessive epoxy with paper towel .Once it dries I sand it and

repeat the process three times. Seals great and keeps the boat light my question is I noticed after awhile the epoxy beings to get dirty and not easy to clean off .

Anyone have any suggestions on how to clean with ease ?

Thanks Al !

After sealing with epoxy, spray with urethane automotive clear,,,, much harder surface that epoxy

Agreed, but after sealing, give the epoxy at least a week so that you know it's fully cured. After that, scuff sand and shoot your clear

I'm not sure I really would want to take apart the boat and shoot it with clear the west system has lasted pretty clean for awhile just figured there

may be a cleaning solution out there to clean the oil and dirt stains off the sealer

Epoxy sealer must be coated or it will not last nearly as long. Epoxy has low UV tolerance. It needs to be top coated. Leaving it bare epoxy it will degrade.
