FAQs
How long does Milliput Terracotta Epoxy Putty take to cure?
The putty has a working time of approximately 4-5 hours at room temperature. Full cure, achieving maximum hardness, typically takes 24 hours.
Can I paint over the cured putty?
Yes, once fully cured, the putty can be sanded smooth and painted to match surrounding materials.
What is the shelf life of this product?
When stored correctly in its original, sealed packaging in a cool, dry place, Milliput epoxy putty generally has a long shelf life, often several years.
Is this product suitable for submerged applications?
Once fully cured, Milliput epoxy putty is water-resistant and suitable for many applications, including those that may be submerged, such as repairing garden water features.
Can I use this to fill deep holes?
Yes, this epoxy putty is excellent for filling deep cracks and rebuilding damaged areas. It adheres well and cures to a solid mass.
What is the mixing ratio?
The mixing ratio is 1:1 by volume. Cut equal lengths of both parts and mix thoroughly until a uniform color is achieved.
Does the terracotta color match all stone and brick?
The terracotta color is designed to blend with typical terracotta and masonry tones. For exact matches on unique materials, painting after curing is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Putty not hardening or remaining sticky
Ensure you have mixed equal parts by volume of both Part A and Part B. Incomplete mixing is the most common cause. Also, check that the putty has not expired and has been stored correctly.
Putty curing too quickly
Work in a cooler environment if possible. Mix only the amount needed for the immediate task to ensure adequate working time.
Putty not adhering to the surface
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from any contaminants like oil, grease, or dust. Lightly abrading smooth surfaces can improve adhesion.
Difficulty in shaping or sanding after cure
Allow the putty to cure fully for 24 hours for maximum hardness. If it's still too soft after this time, it may be due to under-mixing or incorrect environmental conditions during curing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Preparation: Ensure the surfaces to be repaired are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose material. Lightly abrading smooth surfaces can improve adhesion.
- Mixing: Cut equal lengths of Part A and Part B from the putty sticks. Mix thoroughly by hand until a uniform terracotta color is achieved. Avoid overworking, which can reduce working time. Wear gloves to prevent staining your hands.
- Application: Apply the mixed putty to the damaged area, pressing it firmly into place. Shape as required within the working time.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for: Ceramic, pottery, brick, stone, concrete, wood, and many plastics.
- Not Recommended for: Highly flexible materials, or surfaces that require very rapid curing.
Care:
- Storage: Store unused putty in its original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the ends are sealed to prevent premature curing.
- Cleaning: Clean tools and hands with soap and water before the putty cures. Once cured, hardened putty can be removed mechanically (sanding, scraping).
