FAQs
What is the working time for Milliput Superfine White?
The working time is approximately 3-4 hours at room temperature (20-25°C or 68-77°F). This can vary depending on ambient temperature; it will cure faster in warmer conditions and slower in cooler conditions.
How long does it take to fully cure?
It achieves a hard cure in approximately 24 hours, but it can be sanded, drilled, and painted after about 6 hours.
Can I use this putty on painted surfaces?
Yes, as long as the painted surface is clean, dry, and free from loose paint. For best adhesion, lightly scuffing the painted surface beforehand is recommended.
Can I mix different colors of Milliput together?
Yes, different colors of Milliput can be mixed together to achieve intermediate shades. However, the Superfine White is specifically formulated for a smooth finish.
What is the shelf life of the product?
When stored correctly in its original packaging in a cool, dry place, Milliput has a long shelf life, typically several years.
Can I use this for gap filling in electronics?
While it can fill gaps, it is not conductive and cures very hard. Ensure it is suitable for the specific electronic application and does not interfere with heat dissipation or component function.
Does it shrink as it cures?
Milliput has very low shrinkage upon curing, making it ideal for detailed work where minimal dimensional change is critical.
Troubleshooting
Putty not hardening or remains sticky
Ensure both parts of the putty were mixed in equal proportions and thoroughly combined until a uniform color was achieved. Incomplete mixing is the most common cause of poor curing.
Putty curing too quickly
Try to work in a cooler environment. Mix only small amounts of putty at a time, as you will need.
Difficulty in sanding or shaping
Ensure the putty has fully cured before attempting to sand or shape. If it's too early, it will be gummy. If it's fully cured and still difficult, you may have over-hardened the putty by mixing too much or exposing it to excessive heat during curing.
Poor adhesion to surface
Make sure the surface was properly prepared. It should be clean, dry, and free from any dust, grease, or old finishes.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Achieves a very smooth finish suitable for detailed work.
- Highly versatile and adheres to a wide range of materials.
- Can be machined (sanded, drilled, carved) after curing.
- Paintable finish allows for seamless integration with existing colors.
- Economical 5-pack is ideal for workshops and repeat users.
Cons
- Requires precise mixing of both components for proper curing.
- Working time can be limited, especially in warmer conditions.
- May require practice for achieving the best results with fine detail work.
- The white color might not match all materials without painting.
- Not suitable for flexible materials.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: To use, cut equal lengths of the two putty components and mix them thoroughly by hand until a uniform color is achieved. The putty becomes pliable and ready for application. Ensure the surfaces to be repaired are clean, dry, and free from grease or dust for optimal adhesion.
Compatibility: This epoxy putty is suitable for use on ceramic, plastic, wood, and metal. It is not recommended for use on flexible materials or as a structural adhesive for heavy load-bearing applications without proper testing.
Care: Store unused putty in its original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Once mixed, the putty has a limited working time before it begins to cure, so only mix the amount needed for immediate application.
