QuikSteel is a two component epoxy resin in a single stick; the outer layer is the epoxy and the core the activator. It cures by chemical reaction initiated by kneading the putty until epoxy and activator are thoroughly mixed. It will set hard in any atmospheric conditions, and even immersed in fluids, within 15 - 30 minutes and achieve full chemical cure within 1 hour. QuikSteel adheres to and bonds virtually all solid surfaces including all metals, wood, masonry, glass and most plastics. For perfect adhesion, it is essential that the surfaces are free of contamination and debris. If applied under water, QuikSteel should be held in position for 2-3 minutes to allow it to cure.
