FAQs
How long does Milliput take to cure?
Milliput Standard Epoxy Putty has a working time of approximately 30-60 minutes. It becomes hard enough for light handling within a few hours and fully cures to a rock-hard state within 12-24 hours, depending on temperature and humidity.
Can I use Milliput for underwater repairs?
Yes, once fully cured, Milliput is waterproof and suitable for applications that will be immersed in water.
What is the shelf life of Milliput?
When stored correctly in its original packaging in a cool, dry place, Milliput has a very long shelf life, often several years.
Can I paint over cured Milliput?
Yes, once fully cured, Milliput can be sanded smooth and painted with most types of paint, including acrylics, enamels, and spray paints.
How do I clean up uncured Milliput?
Clean tools and surfaces with water before the putty cures. For hardened residue, mechanical removal (sanding) may be necessary.
Is this product flexible?
No, Milliput cures to a very hard, rigid finish. It is not designed for flexible or elastic applications.
What is the weight of each stick in the pack?
Each stick in the 4-pack contains approximately 28g of putty (half of each component), making a total of 113g per pack.
Troubleshooting
Putty not hardening
Ensure equal parts of both components were used and mixed thoroughly until a uniform color was achieved. In very cold conditions, hardening may be slower.
Putty sticking to hands
Slightly moisten your hands with water before handling the mixed putty. This will prevent it from sticking.
Difficulty shaping putty
Work the putty within its recommended working time (typically 30-60 minutes). For slight adjustments after initial hardening, you may need to gently warm the area or use tools for shaping.
Poor adhesion to surface
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, paint, or other contaminants. Lightly abrading the surface can also improve grip.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Strong and durable bond across multiple material types.
- Allows for extensive post-cure modification (sanding, drilling, painting).
- Convenient multi-pack for ongoing projects or shared use.
- Versatile for repairs, filling, and creative modeling.
- Neutral color is easy to integrate or paint over.
Cons
- Requires mixing equal parts, potential for waste if only small amounts are needed.
- Fixed working time necessitates prompt application after mixing.
- Cured finish is rigid and may not be suitable for highly flexible applications.
- May require additional sanding to achieve a perfectly smooth surface for painting.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use Milliput Standard Epoxy Putty, cut off equal lengths of both parts (Part A and Part B) from the sticks. Knead them together thoroughly until a uniform color is achieved. This indicates the components are fully mixed and the curing process has begun. Work quickly as the putty will start to harden.
Compatibility: This putty is suitable for use on a wide range of materials including clean, dry wood, metal, plastic, ceramic, glass, and masonry. Ensure surfaces are free from grease, dust, and loose material for optimal adhesion.
Care: Store unused putty in its original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Once mixed, any unused portion will harden and cannot be reused. Clean tools and work surfaces with water *before* the putty cures. After curing, hardened putty can be removed mechanically (sanding, scraping) or with suitable solvents if necessary.
