Info E.A.S.T. System Epoxy EAST System Epoxy is ideal for virtually all marine construction, repair and finishing applications. Developed in Canada by Epoxy tech M.C.S. Inc., Quebec, and Covey Island Boatworks , Nova Scotia, it was introduced to the market in 1988 after more than four years of research and testing. EAST System Epoxy has been specifically formulated to offer superior flexibility combined with exceptional strength, wet out and clarity. Traditional or High Tech Wood, the oldest boat building material, remains one of the best. EAST System Epoxy is designed to strengthen and preserve the desirable features of wood, while protecting it from the problems associated with the marine environment.
Wood is light, strong and stiff yet flexible and resilient.
Unprotected, however, wood can become wet, heavy, less resilient and rotten. EAST System Epoxy encapsulates the wood, effectively stabilizing and preserving it. Dry rot is eliminated as moisture and oxygen levels are below that required for the growth of rot spores. Composite Construction Using EAST System Epoxy provides one of the highest strength to weight ratios you can get, excellent thermal and acoustic insulation and minimal maintenance. EAST System Epoxy permanently bonds with wood.
