Mixing and Application

Prior to mixing please ensure the following:
1. The ambient & surface temperature is above 5°C (41F°).
2. The product is supplied in stick form and therefore the base and activator component are premeasured.
3. Simply break off the required amount of material from the stick and using gloved hands knead the product until the
black and grey components become a consistent mid grey.
4. The product once fully mixed has a usable life of 3-5mins at 20°C (68F°).
5. Once a consistent mix has been achieved apply the material by pressing the putty onto the prepared surface.

Cure Times
At 20°C (68F°) the applied materials should be allowed to harden for the times indicated below before being subjected to
the conditions indicated. These times will be extended at lower temperatures and reduced at higher temperatures:
Usable Life 5 mins
Machining and light loading 30 mins
Full cure 1 hour

Pack Sizes
This product is available in the following pack sizes –
125gm

Colour
Mixed material – Mid grey
Base component – dark grey
Activator component – Light grey

Over-coating times
Minimum - the applied material can be over-coated as soon as it is touch dry.
