Full details
Milliput Terracotta Epoxy Putty is a versatile two-part putty designed for reliable repairs, restoration, and creative projects on various materials like ceramic, pottery, brick, and stone. Its key benefit lies in its ability to cure into a hard, durable, and paintable finish that can be shaped, sanded, and drilled, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications where a terracotta blend is desired. A potential caveat is its two-part mixing requirement, which needs careful attention for optimal results.

Troubleshooting
Putty not hardening or remaining sticky
Ensure that equal lengths of both Part A and Part B were used and mixed thoroughly until a uniform color was achieved. Incomplete mixing is the most common cause of failure to cure.
Putty curing too quickly
Work in a cooler environment if possible. Mix only the amount of putty that can be used within the working time (approx. 3-4 hours). Larger batches cure faster.
Difficulty shaping or smoothing
Wet your tools or fingers slightly with water to help smooth the putty during application. For fine details, use sculpting tools.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use Milliput Terracotta Epoxy Putty, cut equal lengths from both parts (Part A and Part B) of the putty. Knead them together thoroughly until a uniform color is achieved. This indicates that the two components are fully mixed and the putty is ready for application. The working time is approximately 3-4 hours at room temperature.
Compatibility: This epoxy putty is highly compatible with ceramic, pottery, brick, stone, and other masonry-like garden surfaces. It can also adhere to a range of other materials, though its primary design is for the aforementioned.
Care: Store unused putty in its original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the packaging is resealed tightly after each use to maintain its integrity. Once cured, the repaired area is permanent and can be treated like the original material.
