Troubleshooting
Putty not hardening
Ensure equal amounts of both Part A and Part B were used and thoroughly mixed. Temperature may affect curing time; warmer conditions accelerate it.
Putty is too sticky to work with
Slightly dampen your fingers or tools with water to prevent sticking during application and shaping. Ensure both parts are fully combined.
Difficulty sanding or drilling cured putty
Ensure the putty has fully cured. Use sharp tools and moderate pressure. If still difficult, it might indicate incomplete mixing or an issue with the surface it's bonded to.
Poor adhesion to surface
The surface may not have been clean, dry, or free from grease/dust before application. For optimal adhesion, roughen smooth surfaces slightly before applying the putty.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Milliput Superfine White Epoxy Putty requires no special setup.

Ensure you are working in a well-ventilated area.
Compatibility: This putty is suitable for use on a wide variety of materials including ceramics, most plastics, wood, metal, glass, and even masonry. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure about compatibility with a specific material.
Care: Once cured, Milliput is very durable. Clean up uncured putty from tools and surfaces immediately with water before it hardens. For finished repairs, the cured putty can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents on the cured material, although it is generally resistant to many common substances once fully hardened.
