The
105 Epoxy Resin is the base material of the WEST SYSTEM family. A clear, pale yellow, low-viscosity resin, 105 forms a high-strength solid with excellent moisture resistance, and is designed specifically for wood fiber, fiberglass, reinforcing fabrics and a variety of metals.
105 Resin
- 105 Resin viscosity is approximately 1000 cP (centipoise) at 72°F (22°C).
- Coverage for “A” resin containers: Porous surfaces: 90–105 sq. ft. (8.5–10m2)Non-porous surfaces: 120–135 sq. ft. (11–12.5 m2)
- Coverage for “B” resin containers: Porous surfaces: 350–430 sq. ft. (32–40 m2)Non-porous surfaces: 462–550 sq. ft. (43–50 m2)
Combined with 205 Fast, 206 Slow and 209 Extra-Slow Hardeners, the cure time of 105 can be fine-tuned and adjusted for a wide range of temperatures. For coating and roller applications, it can be combined with 207 Coating Hardener, which provides excellent thin-film characteristics to flow out and self-level without "fisheyeing." Cures clear to light amber, so you can achieve a natural wood finish when coating with varnish.

- Minimum recommended temperature – 60°F (16°C).
When combined with 404 High Density Filler (optimum strength) 407 Low Density Filler (optimum volume) or 406 Colloidal Silica Filler (optimum versatility), WEST SYSTEM epoxy will bridge large gaps and voids and can be easily sanded and shaped when cured. It has no strong solvent odor, making it far safer and more pleasant to work with.
For small repairs, get the 101 Handy Repair Pack, which includes two WEST SYSTEM 105 Resin/205 Hardener packets, and enough high-density filler for a variety of applications. Also includes a brush, mixing stick, pipe cleaner, two cleaning pads and complete instructions.
Round out your set with the 300 Mini Pump Set, which includes one resin and two hardener pumps calibrated to dispense perfect ratios every time. Pumps mount directly on the resin and hardener containers, eliminating mess, and include extension tubes for various container sizes. NOTE: “A” and “B” sized resin containers correspond with “A” and “B” sized hardener containers. The 300 Mini Pumps can be configured to fit any size.
