Yes! The Solarez Epoxy Weenie excels at repairing damaged fins, especially those made of fiberglass. Simply clean the area thoroughly, apply the putty, and allow it to cure under UV light or sunlight.

While you can technically use Solarez on harnesses (particularly nylon/polyester areas), we recommend using a dedicated harness repair kit specifically designed for this purpose as they are often more durable and flexible for the unique stresses involved in kitesurfing.

The curing time depends on the thickness of the applied putty, UV light intensity, and temperature. Generally, a thin layer will cure within 15-30 minutes under direct sunlight or UV lamp. Thicker layers may take longer.

Absolutely! Once cured, Solarez Epoxy Weenie is completely waterproof and can withstand the harsh conditions of kitesurfing environments, including saltwater exposure.

Yes, you can sand down cured Solarez after it's fully hardened for a smoother finish. This allows for further shaping or blending with the surrounding material. Be sure to wear a dust mask when sanding as epoxy dust is harmful to inhale.

Clean the surface thoroughly using isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) or acetone to remove any dirt, grease, wax, or residue. This ensures proper adhesion of the putty and prevents air bubbles from forming during curing.

You'll need a few basic tools: mixing stick, sandpaper (various grits), isopropyl alcohol/acetone, UV flashlight (optional but recommended), gloves, and a dust mask when sanding.

While it can be used for small tears or punctures in your kite leading edge fabric, we recommend using a dedicated ripstop repair kit designed specifically for kitesurfing kites as they are more flexible and durable under extreme wind conditions.

No, Solarez Epoxy Weenie is formulated not to yellow when exposed to sunlight or UV light. This ensures that your repaired equipment maintains its original appearance over time.

If the repair fails under pressure, it likely means you didn't clean the surface properly before application or the damage was too severe for a small putty stick to handle effectively. In this case, consider using a larger quantity of Solarez Epoxy and/or contacting a professional kitesurfing gear technician.

We strongly advise against applying Solarez inside your kite as it can affect the airflow and potentially compromise its performance. Stick to external repairs only.

The lifespan of a 0.5 oz Weenie depends on the size and number of repairs you need to make. On average, it can handle several small-to-medium sized repairs or one larger repair.

While Solarez is non-toxic once fully cured, we recommend keeping it out of reach of children and pets during the application process. Wear gloves and avoid prolonged skin contact with uncured putty.
