Epoxy recommendations, my sidewall on my Line Blends blew out. Looking for what people think is the best for sidewall repairs!

There's only one choice...West Systems G-Flex Epoxy.

G/FLEX 650 TOUGHENED EPOXY

G/flex® 650 is a toughened, versatile, liquid epoxy for permanent waterproof bonding of fiberglass, ceramics, metals, plastics, and damp and difficult-to-bond woods. It is a bit more flexible than standard epoxies and polyester but much stiffer than adhesive sealants. This gives it the ability to make structural bonds that can absorb the stress of expansion, contraction, shock, and vibration. It is ideal for bonding dissimilar materials. It can be modified with WEST SYSTEM® fillers and additives and used to wet out fiberglass tapes and fabrics. This system is simple to use with its 1:1 mix ratio by volume.

G/flex 650 Toughened Epoxy Adhesive is designed to bond to:

Plastics

Metals

Glass

Masonry

Fiberglass

You can get it at good hardware stores, marine/boat supply shops, or online.

Make sure you drill/ dreamer out all the loose stuff. Epoxy is only as strong as what it bonds to

Try to sand/rough up any surfaces you'll be putting epoxy on, vacuum, wipe with an alcohol rag, then let it dry completely. Surface prep is huge for getting a repair to hold.
