Milliput Superfine Epoxy Putty

Milliput Superfine Epoxy Putty - 113.4g pack

A two part, cold setting, non-shrinking epoxy putty consisting of a low molecular weight liquid epoxy resin and a polyamide curing agent both containing titanium dioxide, colouring pigment, and inert fillers.

Milliput will set under water and is heat resistant to 130°C. An excellent epoxy putty adhesive for adhering porcelain, ceramics and a wide variety of materials including plastic, wood, and metal.

The two sticks have a long shelf life but once mixed the resultant putty is at first soft and highly adhesive and then gradually hardens. Speed of hardening is dependant on temperature and at normal temperatures (20-25ºC) Milliput becomes rock hard in three to four hours. By the application of heat the setting time can be reduced to a few minutes.

After setting hard Milliput continues to cure and is fully cured after an elapse of time equal to the setting time at the same temperature. Once fully cured Milliput can be machined, drilled, tapped, turned, filed, sawn, sandpapered and painted. Milliput can be sandpapered and painted immediately it has set.

Available in Superfine White and Yellow-grey. Supplied as a two stick, 113 gm pack.

Shelf Life

Milliput should be stored in cool, dry conditions. Please reseal bags after use. Stored correctly this product should remain workable for about 2 years.

Instructions for use (for information)

Mix together equal parts of each stick from the pack. Knead and roll in the hands for at least 5 minutes until the colours merge and become uniform and no streaks can be seen and then mix for another minute.

The surfaces to which the putty is applied should be free from grease and dirt. Smooth surfaces should be cleaned with a suitable solvent or with soap and warm water to remove dirt and grease. Abrading the surface will improve adhesion; the putty may now be applied and will set hard in three to four hours without shrinking.
Using Milliput for the first Time?

If you have never used Milliput before we suggest you make yourself familiar with its behaviour before attempting a repair.

Take a small slice, say 1/4", from each part, mix them together for 4-5 minutes and roll into a small ball. Flatten it to shape of a coin and observe it over 2 to 3 hours. Note how sticky and adhesive it is when first mixed. After an hour it becomes rubbery and less tacky. In 3-4 hours it becomes quite hard and tack free. Overnight it becomes rock hard.

At all stages from initial mixing to final setting, Milliput responds to the use of water. To aid manipulation and avoid sticking, fingers and tools should be kept moistened with water. There are certain instances when work may be carried out in a gentle stream of water under a tap. To obtain a smooth finish, mould or apply Milliput and then immediately wipe and smooth gently with wet finger or with a fine textured moist cloth.

When tools have been used for applying or contouring Milliput they should be cleaned immediately after use with a wet rag or paper. If the putty is allowed to harden on it will be almost impossible to remove.

In the putty state (ie before setting) Milliput, like most chemicals in domestic use, may cause irritation to sensitive skins. When mixing the two components it is advisable to use rubber gloves or throw-away polythene gloves. When rubber gloves have been used wash them immediately after use, and whilst still on the hands, using running water. If the hands have been used for mixing or manipulating Milliput wash them immediately after use with toilet soap and warm water. Milliput should be stored in a cool place.

Instructions for Superfine White Milliput

It is very important when using this grade of Milliput, because the sticks are virtually the same colour that you mix the two parts for at least five minutes.
