FAQs
How long does KwikWood take to fully cure?
KwikWood has a working time of 15-25 minutes to set. Full cure typically takes 1 hour, after which it can be drilled, sanded, carved, stained, or painted.
Can I use KwikWood on painted wood?
Yes, KwikWood adheres well to painted wood, provided the surface is clean and free of loose paint or contaminants.
What is the tensile strength of KwikWood?
KwikWood has a tensile strength of up to 2450 PSI once fully cured.
Can I stain KwikWood?
Yes, once cured, KwikWood can be stained. However, results may vary depending on the wood type and stain. It's recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
How do I store unused KwikWood?
Store unused putty in its original packaging in a cool, dry place to prevent premature hardening.
Can KwikWood be used for structural repairs?
KwikWood is designed for cosmetic and filler repairs, not for critical structural applications that require significant load-bearing capacity beyond its stated tensile strength.
What color is KwikWood before it's painted?
KwikWood cures to a natural brown color that resembles wood.
Troubleshooting
Putty not hardening or remains sticky
Ensure the putty was kneaded thoroughly until a uniform color was achieved. Incomplete mixing is the most common cause of failure to cure.
Putty is too hard to work with
You may have kneaded the putty for too long, or the ambient temperature is too high. Work with smaller amounts or in a cooler environment.
Poor adhesion to the wood
The wood surface may not have been properly cleaned and prepared. Ensure the area is free from dust, grease, and loose material before application.
Sanding difficulty
Allow the putty to cure fully. If it's still difficult to sand, you may be using too much pressure or the sandpaper grit is too fine. Try a coarser grit initially.
