Epoxy Putty 57g

DESCRIPTION:

Chemtools® Rapidstick™ 8-145 Epoxy Putty is an impact-resistant kneadable putty with high bond strength. It consists of two parts in a 1:1 mix ratio and can be easily applied by hand or trowel. Part A (Resin - outer part) and Part B (Hardener - inner part) are separated by a thin film of plastic, and once removed and thoroughly kneaded to combine, the putty sets into an extremely tough, permanent substance, equal to the hardness of metal, in just 15 minutes at room temperature. 8-145 is used as a moldable space-filler for any shaped space, wet or dry, and can be used as a sealant, gap filler,
adhesive, putty, or cement. It can be easily applied by hand or trowel, and bonds to a wide range of surfaces, with excellent adhesion to most substrates. Upon cure, Epoxy Putty can be sanded, drilled, tapped, machined, filed, and painted. It is ideal for the permanent repair of cracks, holes, dents, and leaks, plus the reshaping of damaged surfaces (chipped railings, dented skirting boards, etc.) and the long-term mounting of signs to walls.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

• Ensure surfaces are clean and free of grease and oil. Surfaces should be lightly abraded to achieve the best results.
• Cut Epoxy Putty stick to the desired size. Mix well, kneading the putty until a uniform grey color is achieved.
• Apply immediately, or within 4 to 5 minutes, whilst the putty is still pliable. Push well into holes, cracks, etc, to completely fill the gap or create a tight seal.
• Epoxy Putty will begin to harden approx. 5 minutes after mixing, and will set within 15 to 20 mins.
