Troubleshooting
Putty not hardening or remaining sticky
Ensure equal lengths of both components were used and mixed thoroughly until a uniform color was achieved. Temperature can also affect curing; ensure it's within the recommended range.
Putty hardening too quickly
Work in smaller batches if a longer working time is needed. Ensure the temperature is not excessively high, as this accelerates the curing process.
Putty is difficult to sand
Allow the putty to cure fully. If it's still slightly pliable, it may be too soon. If it has fully cured and is excessively hard, use coarser grit sandpaper initially.
Poor adhesion to surface
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or dust before applying the putty. Lightly abrading the surface can also improve adhesion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use Milliput Black Epoxy Putty, cut equal lengths of the two different colored components (usually white and black). Mix them thoroughly by hand until a uniform black color is achieved. This indicates the components are fully combined and the curing process has begun. The putty remains workable for approximately 3-4 hours at room temperature. It is compatible with a wide range of materials including most plastics, metals, ceramics, wood, glass, and even concrete.
Care:
- Store unused putty in its original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
- Ensure the packaging is sealed to prevent the putty from drying out.
- Clean up any uncured residue with water or a damp cloth before it hardens.
- Once cured, cleaning is best done by mechanical means (sanding, scraping).
