Can this be applied to wood underwater?

Marine Tex is a staple repair item on my boat. I have used it to make many repairs over the year and it is great stuff. However, it needs to air cure and is not meant for underwater repairs on wood.

My understanding is NO. This is superb for repair of even fairly large holes/tears in aluminum boats but does require some drying/curing time. It does set rather quickly and is very tough when completely dry. Really doubt its effectiveness on wood. Underwater...NO....

I have used this product for over thirty yrs. I am pretty. sure that the area to be repaired should be dry.

I have only used it on a dry surface, but in the comment section, I saw a this: By CaptJack on January 14, 2013 Verified PurchaseThis stuff has been around for years....... and it works. I keep a kit on the boat. Weather the white or the gray it will always stick and harden. I have used it under water and on water jackets with 100% confidence. Once hardened you can file it and even drill and tap it. For emergency repairs and long term renovations I trust it.

i dont think it would do much good as the laquer has sealed the wood.I think it would just smear as it couldnt soak in.

Yes, it can. But, for wood I would first recommend the use of a sanding sealer. Then a Testors clear or gray wood primer. The acrylic primer does not tend to adhere to wood as well as it does to plastics and, in time, you might find some chipping and scaling.

I have not had the chance to use this product yet but I would assume since the product is solvent based, it may not be wise to use on a greasey surface- Im not sure the product would cure properly, but if the surface is finished and not slick, it shouldnt corrode the finish on the wood. Maybe do a test on a small area like underside something and dip a q tip into a throw away plastic cup that has some of the material sprayed into it before applying it allover.

Hi, I don't know. I would contact the company. I use lime away on hard surfaces for water marks, but wouldn't use it on wood. On wood, I've used mayonnaise.

I have never tried to use this tape on wood, but I think it can work as well. And it does not work on rubber surface.

No, I don't think it makes it water resistant, just conditions and protects the wood as you continue to use it. It's a process you have to repeat regularly.

Only if the wood was coated with a finish-like poly. If not the removal would be difficult. I comes of metal and plastic but when I used it on wood it was not very cooperative. Good product and very good color and flexible. Like this product a lot.

Don't really know. But its mineral oil-based, so I doubt it. Its meant to be absorbed into the wood, rather than removing something from the wood.

I am not an expert, but in order for the product to saturate the wood, it would be good to be as dry as possible. Gary

I never tried. I don't see why you could not. It is true that it's wood but it's pretty thick. There are plenty of wooden stuff that I put in water (my kitchen wooden spoons...). The only thing is: I don't know whether the finish would hold under water. There was no notice with comb saying that you could not.

Yes. It won't be water proof, but if you are just sealing it, this stuff will work. If you need water proof, look for a water proof varnish.

I would not recommend it depending on how long "a while" is. Water will leave a ring on wood and this is wood. You could treat it with a sealer of some sort, but be careful. It can discolor or warp easily.

I've used it only on wood, but it seems like it would work on metal when wet.

For best results it needs to be died out as much as possible. The drier the wood is, the more material will be absorbed. If the wood is wet on application the wood can't absorb the material and the treatment will not be effective.

I used it underwater on the tile grout and sealed it without a problem. It was quite quick to adhere. It most likely would work.

that wouldnt be a good idea. its meant for unfished wood (mix with water and paint or spray on) and youd be exposing yourelf to direct contact with poison and it probably wouldnt be very effective because it wouldnt penetrate the finish.
