For craftspeople working with wood and composite materials, the challenge is to balance resin flow, cure speed and final structural strength. The MAS low-viscosity epoxy system is formulated to address those variables with even wet-out, deep penetration and predictable handling. Its 2:1 mixing ratio and non-blushing chemistry are intended to make consistent results easier to achieve.

The system’s low viscosity allows it to wet out fiberglass cloth and penetrate wood surfaces evenly. That flow characteristic simplifies coating and lamination, reducing the need for extensive cleanup after application. The resin is mixed at a simple 2:1 volume ratio, a specification that supports repeatable batches and controlled work.

As a non-blushing formula, the resin is designed to avoid the oily surface that can sometimes remain after cure, creating a sound base for sanding and finishing. The system is also described as low-odor, a consideration for enclosed workshops and extended sessions.

Users can select fast-, medium- or slow-curing hardeners to match ambient temperature, project scale and working time. The options allow gel time to be adjusted without changing the base resin, giving builders more control over application. LV resin is also compatible with FLAG resin, so viscosity can be tailored by blending the two products.

The system accepts phenolic microballoons, colloidal silica and wood flour, additives that convert the liquid resin into compounds for bonding, fairing and filling. Those fillers extend the resin’s use from lamination to structural repair and surface preparation.

The resin was originally developed for high-end wooden boat construction. Its strength and finish made it a standard component in Chesapeake Light Craft kits and a material favored by designer Sam Devlin. Its use has since extended beyond marine applications.

In furniture making, joinery and wood art, the resin provides durable protection and structural reinforcement. With the appropriate filler, it can be turned into a formulated adhesive, fairing compound or gap-filling mixture for tasks ranging from structural repair to surface finishing.
