Spread mixed material on repair area and work firmly into substrate to ensure maximum surface contact. Bronze Putty will fully cure
Instructions:
in 16 hours, at which time it can be machined, drilled, or painted.
FOR BRIDGING LARGE GAPS OR HOLES
Place fiberglass sheet, expanded metal, or mechanical fasteners between repair area and Aluminum Putty (F) prior to application.
FOR VERTICAL SURFACE APPLICATIONS
Bronze Putty can be troweled up to ¼” (6.4 mm) thick without sagging.
FOR MAXIMUM PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Cure at room temperature for 2.5 hours, then heat cure for 4 hours @ 200°F (93oC).
FOR ± 70°F (21°C) APPLICATIONS
Applying epoxy at temperatures below 70°F (21°C) lengthens functional cure and pot life times. Conversely, applying above 70°F (21oC) shortens functional cure and pot life.
MACHINING:
Allow material to cure for at least four hours before machining.
