Description
Steel Epoxy Putty Stick, S1010, is a hand-kneadable, non-rusting, steel-reinforced epoxy putty that mixes in one minute to provide fast, permanent repairs to items made of steel and other metals. It also bonds to wood, glass, masonry, and many plastics. Our sticks are great value as they are approximately 114g, 175mm long and 22mm diameter which is larger than most on the market. Steel epoxy putty stick has WRAS approval, meaning it is certified as safe to use on pipes and fittings carrying drinking water.
This putty steel stick comes in a handy rod form with the curing agent encapsulated in the contrasting colour base material. Its putty-like consistency eliminates drips and runs, providing “no mess” application with no tools required to use. Suitable for interior or exterior use, it is resistant to water, chemicals, and temperature extremes. Superfast Steel contains no solvents or VOC’s. It is non-flammable and releases no noxious fumes. It will not shrink or pull away. The unused portion stays fresh for future use when saved in its original package.

Directions for Use
Mixing
Twist or cut off required amount. To mix, knead with fingers to a uniformed colour. If mixing is difficult, warm to room temperature or slightly above. Apply to the surface to be repaired (within 2 minutes of mixing). The mixed epoxy does not exhibit high bond strength at this point, but appears to be merely lying on the surface. Force into any cracks or holes to be filled and strike off excess material, preferably with a tool wetted with clean water. When applying to a damp, wet or slowly leaking area, Work the material forcefully into the surface and apply pressure until adhesion begins to take effect.
For a smooth appearance of the cured compound, hand rub with water or a damp cloth prior to hardening.
Hardening
Remove excess material before hardening begins. After 5-10 minutes, the epoxy will harden like metal and start to form a tenacious bond. After just 60 minutes, it is completely cured and can be drilled, sawed, carved, sanded, stained or painted.
In order to achieve optimum adhesion, surface should be cleaned free of grease or dirt. Scuffing or sanding the surface prior to cleaning helps to ensure a good bond.
