Hi Bond
About Hi Bond: Marine-Grade Repair Products Built to Last
Hi Bond is a trusted name in marine fiberglass and gel-coat repair, offering a focused lineup of products engineered for boat owners, marine technicians, and DIY enthusiasts who demand professional-grade results. Backed by the expertise of Evercoat — a Cincinnati, Ohio-based innovator in repair products since 1953 — Hi Bond brings decades of material science and hands-on repair knowledge to every product in its catalog.
Whether you're restoring the hull of a weekend cruiser or patching up a fiberglass deck that's seen one too many seasons on the water, Hi Bond gives you the right materials to do the job correctly. The brand's emphasis on quality raw materials and system-level compatibility means its products are designed to work together seamlessly, reducing the guesswork that often trips up even experienced repair technicians.
Gel-Coat Repair: Restoring That Factory Finish
The cornerstone of the Hi Bond lineup is its Gel-Coat & Gel-Coat Repair Kits. Gel coat is the outermost layer of a fiberglass boat — the surface that takes the brunt of UV exposure, impact, and weathering. When it chips, cracks, or fades, restoring it properly requires matched chemistry and the right application technique. Hi Bond's gel-coat products are formulated to bond durably to existing fiberglass substrates, delivering a smooth, glossy finish that holds up to the harsh marine environment.
Everything You Need for a Complete Repair
A successful fiberglass repair is never just one product — it's a system. Hi Bond supports that system with a range of Resin Additives, Rollers, Spreaders, and Related Tools that help ensure proper resin wet-out, bubble-free lamination, and clean, even application. Having the right spreader or roller on hand can be the difference between a professional result and a repair that needs to be redone.
Equally important is proper viscosity control. Hi Bond's Resin Reducer allows technicians and hobbyists to fine-tune resin consistency for specific applications and ambient conditions — a small but critical detail that significantly impacts cure quality and final appearance.
Structural Integrity Below the Surface
Beyond cosmetic repairs, Hi Bond also addresses structural marine concerns with its Foam Sealants and Flotation products. Marine-grade foam sealants play a vital role in maintaining watertight integrity and, in some applications, contributing to a vessel's built-in buoyancy. These products are essential for anyone performing serious hull repairs or restoration work.
