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 ferrous and aluminium metals. Our sticks are great value as they are approximately 130g, 175mm long and 22mm diameter which is larger than most on the market.
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.
Colour
This putty is black in colour after use.

After proper mixing, S1010 moulds like clay and may be used in many industrial and home maintenance applications, including:
- Repair of iron pipes
- Tanks
- Tools and equipment
- Repair blow holes
- Holding and placement of fixtures and signs
- Repairs to moulds
- Patterns and castings
- Making prototypes
- Thread locking

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 15-20 minutes, the epoxy will harden like metal and start to form a tenacious bond. After just 45 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.

Precaution
IRRITANT: Contains epoxy resin and may cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals. Unnecessary skin contact should therefore be avoided. If skin contact occurs, wash with a proprietary hand cleaner, followed by washing with soap and water. In case of eye contact, flush with clean water for at least 15 minutes, then seek medical attention. When fully cured, the product can be considered non-toxic. Store in cool conditions, preferably away from direct sunlight or excessive heat. Shelf life at least 6 months @ 25°C.
