HOW THEY WORK
When using any of the putty sticks , start by assessing how much you think you might need . Then simply cut a small piece off and remove its outer wrapping . Begin to work the putty together in your hands – it ’ s ready to be used once it ’ s fully mixed .
While each of the putty sticks have different applications , their contents can be moulded into any shape to meet your needs . The curing time for the putty varies , with the SteelStik and WaterWeld requiring one hour . The PlasticWeld takes a little longer at three hours .
With the job done it ’ s now time to wait for the curing process to complete .
Getting ready to repair this broken plastic pipe .
Cutting enough putty to do the job .
After waiting the required curing time , the putty can then be drilled , tapped , sanded , filed , or painted , depending on the putty type .
At the completion of the repair , you simply return any unused putty back into the tube so it ’ s ready for the next repair .
The two tubes in the pack for the two-part epoxy cold weld system require a mix of 50 / 50 , so it ’ s just a case of squeezing out what you need from both tubes and mixing them together well . This product provides a permanent bond on a range of surfaces and takes between four and six hours to completely cure . And similar to the other products in the pack , the cold weld system can also be tapped , filed , sanded and drilled after curing .
