Hambys Adhesive Epoxy

[JBIGUNS]

I had a Hambys installed last summer and used the epoxy Basscat included (bought the Hambys from Basscat). It is starting to come up at the furthest point from the bow. Looking for recommendations on best type of epoxy. The installer and myself figured what was provided by Basscat would be best but he did have some initial hesitation about using it. I should note that he is one of the best marine restoration guys in our area who specializes in bass boats.

Hambys uses the West System epoxy

I've been looking for a real informative video to install it. Can't find one that I thought was really helpful. Also have the epoxy that came with the Hambys. May end up taking it to the pros unless covinced other wise.

Did you prep the area proper? Biggest thing is you can’t just put it on a smooth surface. I’ve never seen them come off if installed properly and strapped up for it to set.

I will pick the installers brain on how he prepped it. He is as meticulous as they come and can’t speak highly enough of the other work he has done on my boat and friends. His Facebook page is worth a follow. JCS Marine Restoration.

just a thought. Because when they do a hambya it has to be roughed up (where the hambys goes) and the straps have to be on there for I think a minimum of 8hours? Normally we leave them on overnight

Good info thanks. I had a Hambys installed on my Old Champion and the thing never budged. That was done by an installer I found on the Hambys website.

We do use Euroflex on the installs at BCB.

West marine Hamby told me I believe its called 10-Six epoxy fixed mine used ratchet straps to go around boat snuged up just enough to keep it in place and a work light to keep warm no issue since.
