FAQs
How long does it take for Milliput Superfine White Epoxy Putty to cure?
The putty begins to harden after mixing and is typically rock hard within 24 hours at room temperature. However, it can be shaped and worked for several hours before hardening significantly.
Can I sand Milliput Superfine White Epoxy Putty?
Yes, once fully cured, Milliput Superfine White Epoxy Putty can be sanded, drilled, carved, and painted.
What is the working time after mixing?
The working time is approximately 3-4 hours at room temperature, though this can vary slightly depending on ambient temperature and humidity. It's best to start working immediately after mixing.
What materials can I use this putty on?
It is suitable for use on a variety of materials including ceramic, plastic, wood, metal, glass, and even some stone.
How do I clean up after using Milliput?
While the putty is still pliable, clean tools and hands with soap and water. Once cured, it is difficult to remove and may require abrasive methods.
Does the white color need priming before painting?
While the white color provides a good base, priming is often recommended for paint to adhere best and achieve the most durable finish, especially on non-porous surfaces.
Can I use this for structural repairs?
Milliput creates a very strong bond once cured and can be used for many repairs. However, for critical structural applications, professional advice should be sought.
Troubleshooting
Putty not hardening
Ensure you have mixed equal amounts of both parts thoroughly until a uniform color is achieved. Incomplete mixing is the most common cause.
Putty is too sticky to work with
Slightly dampen your fingers or tools with water. Avoid using too much water, as it can interfere with the curing process.
Poor adhesion to surface
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, dust, or loose paint. Lightly sanding the surface can improve adhesion.
Putty hardening too quickly
Mix only the amount of putty you can use within the working time. Work in a cooler environment if possible, as heat accelerates curing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use Milliput Superfine White Epoxy Putty, cut equal lengths from each of the two sticks. Knead these together thoroughly until a uniform colour is achieved, indicating they are fully mixed. Begin working with the putty immediately, as it starts to cure upon mixing.
Compatibility: This epoxy putty is suitable for use on a wide range of materials, including ceramics, plastics, wood, metal, and glass. Ensure surfaces are clean and free from grease or dust for best adhesion.
Care: Store unused putty sticks in their original packaging in a cool, dry place. Once mixed, any unused putty will harden and cannot be saved. Cured Milliput can be cleaned with soap and water, though it is generally not recommended to get it wet once fully set in its application. For best results, allow the putty to cure fully before painting or applying other finishes.
