Kwikie™ Duct Plugs
Kwikie Plug - Blank Duct Plugs from Cal Am - The original Kwikie brand mechanical plug is one of Cal Am Manufacturing's most popular products. Trusted by contractors world-wide to secure their conduit systems from the costly and often damaging incursion of water sedimentation and nesting animals, these high quality plugs are manufactured from a trio of hi-impact chemically inert resins that will also confine volatile and hazardous vapors to their source.
The Kwikie plug functions by compressing a thermo-plastic elastomer seal between two U.V., ozone and chemically resistant compression plates through the hand-tightening of a loop or wing nut; the compressed seal expanding into full contact with the inside pipe walls thereby providing an effective, permanent, positive seal to your conduit system in seconds. Once in place the Kwikie plug will not move until you decide to remove it.
All Kwikie plugs that are designed for conduit pipe larger than two inches are hollow-stemmed and may be used for feeding or bleeding fluids from your lines (1/2" hose thread adaptor available). Other options include wing nuts or eye nuts for tightening the compression plates, flush-fit vs. inside-fit (the outside compression plate on flush-fit Kwikies will not enter the conduit) and schedule 40 and schedule 80 sizing. All Kwikie plugs come with a 1/2" rope tie for sealing and securing excess rope within the conduit system for future use.

Marine Fairing Compounds
Marine Fairing Compounds - ADTECH Marine Epoxy Fairing compounds are convenient, trowelable fillers developed for fairing large or small surface imperfections on aluminum, steel, fiberglass or wooden marine vessels, above or below the waterline. When cured, these systems feature excellent sanding and finishing characteristics and accept virtually all types of primers and coatings.
Marine 861 UltraFair is a convenient trowelable filler developed for fairing large surface imperfections on aluminum, steel, fiberglass or wooden marine vessels. The white resin and brown hardener, when mixed together at the convenient 1:1 volumetric mix ratio, yield a smooth, creamy paste which can be easily applied up to 1" thick without sagging or shrinking during the curing process.
865 FinalFair Resin is a convenient, easy-to-use sprayable fairing compound to be used in conjunction with UltraFair 861. This two step process was developed to assist today's boat builders in fairing large areas of aluminum, steel, wood or fiberglass yachts. FinalFair 865 was developed for use as a final surface fairing over ADTECHâÇ™s UltraFair 861. The white resin and pink hardener, when mixed together, create a positive mix indication when no streaks are observed. It exhibits excellent air release and is especially well suited to fairing porosity or minor surface imperfections.
P-17 SMCR HIGH HEAT RESISTANT FILLER set-fast system has uses in aerospace, aircraft, automotive, tooling, manufacturing and final fabrication where potential exposure to elevated temperatures up to 230°C/446°F have to be tolerated either for short term or continuous periods. P- 17 SMCR offers the user a smooth workable paste with set-fast cure to expedite those applications for repair or finish.
P-32 FIBER FILLED MARINE BOND & FILL PUTTY is a trowelable non-sag fiber filled polyester bonding/filler putty developed for use in the marine industry for the original manufacture of boats and other structures. The unique handling properties of P-32 make it a very desirable system over other putty types currently being used.

P-78 high-heat polyester filler and fairing compound offers the user a smooth workable paste with a 40 to 50 minute work life for larger fairing and repair jobs. This material can be applied with a squeegee, spatula, or flat tool, and once cured can be filed or sanded to a feather-edge. P-78 can withstand temperatures up to 446°F to eliminate the âÇœprint-throughâÇ¥ that is associated with conventional polyester fillers. P-78 has excellent adhesive and bond strength to fiberglass, SMC, FRP, epoxy, graphite, and Kevlar® composites as well as aluminum, wood, and other substrates. Once cured this material accepts virtually all types of coatings and decorative films with no âÇœbleed outâÇ¥.
ProFair Epoxy Fairing Compound and Adhesive is a thixotropic compound specially formulated for applications above or below the waterline. ProFairâÇ™s convenient mix ratio of 1:1 by weight or volume and moderate work life make this material very adaptable to production surface fairing or bonding applications. ProFair is best used as a surface fairing compound for skimmed balsa, lead keels, or fiberglass, a keel to fiberglass hull adhesive, a joint filler or for general repair and bonding applications.
ProSeal EZ Resin is a white epoxy coating system developed for use in the manufacture of composite and wooden boats. This two component resin system will fill in and seal surface fabric textures in FRP reinforced structures, leaving a porosity free sandable surface, replacing the conventional method of blending resin, hardener and thickening additives. Typically, one application applied with brush, roller or squeegee, is all that is required to fill in the texture or weave in cloth fabric. ProSeal EZ is chemically resistant to refined petroleum fuels and water immersion, making it an ideal choice for sealing exterior and interior marine structures, above or below-the-waterline.
