Seacast™ is formulated to bond to fiberglass. It will bond to small amounts of pre-existing wood that may remain after extraction, but the bond to fiberglass will be weakened and the remaining wood will continue to rot.
What is Seacast made from?
Seacast™ is a synthetic material made from a mix of proprietary ingredients and recycled fiberglass fibers. Seacast™ uses chopped reinforcement recycled fiberglass that provides superior tensile strength in comparison to ceramic spheres.
How long does Seacast take to cure?
Seacast™ will set in approximately 25-45 minutes. The hotter the temperature is the faster it will set. later at night. Seacast™ will take longer to cure if the temperature is below 76°F, heat lamps may be used to compensate for the lower ambient temperature.
