It bonds to fiberglass, aluminum, steel, wood and cast iron and is formulated to tolerate flex without cracking — making it suitable for hulls, decks, keels, topsides, and non-marine repairs like cars, RVs and motorcycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I mix and apply TotalFair so it cures correctly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMix equal parts of the blue and yellow components by volume until the material turns a uniform green, typically after 3–5 minutes of thorough mixing.
