About This Tool
The Marine Adhesive Calculator helps you estimate the quantity and cost of two-part epoxies and other adhesives for your boat building projects. It accounts for area, desired thickness, and even adjusts the working time (pot life) based on ambient temperature.

Key Concepts:

Pot Life: The workable time of mixed adhesive before it cures.
Bondline Control: Maintaining a consistent adhesive thickness for maximum strength.
Exothermic Reaction: The chemical process of curing which generates heat.
Surface Preparation: The most critical step for a strong, lasting bond.
