What if the ding is very large?

How do I store the kit?

Can I use this kit indoors?

Is the repair waterproof?

What kind of sandpaper should I use?

The kit includes a 60/240 Grit Sand Pad, which is suitable for smoothing the repair. Use the appropriate grit sand paper for best results.

What is the shelf life of the repair putty?

Store the kit properly, and the repair putty should last for several years. Avoid extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Putty is not curing.

Ensure the repair is exposed to direct sunlight. If it is cloudy, the curing time will be longer. Inadequate sunlight can prevent curing.

Putty is not adhering properly.

Clean the surface thoroughly with the acetone prep-pad before applying the putty. Make sure all wax and debris are removed for proper adhesion.

The repair is not smooth.

Use the spreader to smooth the putty before curing. After curing, use the sand pad to sand the repair flush with the board's surface.
