Troubleshooting
Putty not hardening
Ensure equal lengths of both parts were used and thoroughly mixed until a uniform color was achieved. Insufficient mixing or incorrect ratios will prevent proper curing.
Putty curing too quickly
Work in smaller batches or in a cooler environment. Avoid mixing larger quantities at once, as the chemical reaction generates heat and accelerates curing.
Putty sticking to hands or tools
Lightly dampen hands or tools with water before mixing and applying. Alternatively, use disposable gloves and tools. Clean any excess immediately with water before it cures.
Surface is sticky after curing
Ensure the putty was mixed correctly and completely. Residual tackiness might indicate incomplete curing. Allow more time in a warm environment or ensure proper mixing ratios were used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Cut equal lengths of both parts (Part A and Part B) from the Milliput pack.
- Thoroughly mix the two parts together on a clean, non-porous surface until a uniform color is achieved. This indicates the epoxy has activated.
- Apply the mixed putty to the desired area. Work quickly as the putty will begin to cure.
Compatibility:
Milliput adheres well to most common materials including plastics, metals, wood, ceramics, concrete, and glass. It is not recommended for use on very flexible plastics or silicone.
Care:
- Store unused putty in its original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
- Once cured, the putty is permanent and cannot be removed without mechanical means (sanding, grinding).
- Clean tools and hands with soap and water before the putty fully cures.
