FAQs

How long does Milliput Epoxy Putty - White take to set?

Milliput is a cold-setting putty. It typically becomes touch-dry within 2-4 hours at room temperature, but it reaches full hardness and strength after 24 hours. Cooler temperatures will extend the setting time.

Can I paint or sand Milliput once it's set?

Yes, absolutely! Once Milliput has fully cured and is hard, it can be easily sanded, drilled, filed, and painted or cellulose sprayed. This allows you to achieve a seamless finish that matches your original item.

Is Milliput Epoxy Putty waterproof?

Yes, it is completely waterproof once cured. It even has the unique property of setting underwater, making it suitable for repairs in damp or wet conditions and providing a durable, waterproof seal.

What is the maximum temperature Milliput can withstand?

Milliput Epoxy Putty is heat-resistant up to 130°C. This makes it suitable for various applications where moderate heat might be present.

Can I use Milliput on food-contact surfaces?

While Milliput is very versatile and durable, it is generally not recommended for direct food-contact surfaces unless specifically stated by the manufacturer for such applications. For repairs on items like plates that will directly contact food, it's best to use food-safe alternatives.

How should I clean my tools after using Milliput?

It is easiest to clean your tools before the putty has set. Use an appropriate solvent, such as isopropyl alcohol or methylated spirits, to wipe away any uncured putty. Once the putty has hardened on tools, it will need to be mechanically removed by scraping or sanding.

What if I only need a small amount of putty?

You can cut off as small an amount as you need from each stick, as long as you maintain an equal ratio of the two components. This allows you to conserve material and mix only what's necessary for your repair.

Troubleshooting

Putty doesn't harden or remains sticky

This is almost always due to incomplete or incorrect mixing. Ensure equal parts of both components are thoroughly kneaded together until a perfectly uniform colour is achieved, with no streaks. Curing can also be affected by very low temperatures, ensure you are working at room temperature or slightly above.

Poor adhesion to the surface

The surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure the application area is clean, dry, and free from grease, dust, or loose particles. For smoother surfaces, light sanding or roughing the area can improve mechanical keying for better adhesion.

Putty hardens too quickly before I can finish

Working time is finite once mixed. Try mixing smaller batches if you need more time for intricate work or if ambient temperatures are high, as warmth can accelerate the curing process. Work efficiently once mixed.

Difficulty in shaping or smoothing the putty

You can slightly dampen your fingers or tools with water to help smooth the putty during application. For intricate shaping, small sculpting tools can be very effective. Work quickly within the allocated working time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional versatility for a broad range of restoration, repair, and sculpting applications.
  • Provides extremely strong and durable repairs that are built to last.
  • Can be easily shaped, sanded, and painted after curing, allowing for seamless integration with the original item.
  • Its white colour is perfect for matching and repairing white ceramics, chinaware, and domestic appliances.
  • Unique ability to set underwater significantly expands its application possibilities, including plumbing repairs.
  • Offers good heat resistance up to 130°C, suitable for various household and artistic uses.

Cons

  • Requires precise mixing of two components; incorrect ratios can affect curing and strength.
  • Has a limited working time once mixed, requiring users to work efficiently.
  • Requires a curing period before the repair reaches full strength and can be further worked on.
  • Once set, the repair is permanent and irreversible, demanding careful application.
  • Can be messy if not handled carefully during the mixing and application stages.
  • Not suitable for flexible repairs as the cured putty is rigid.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

  1. Preparation: Ensure your work area is clean, dry, and well-ventilated. Wear protective gloves to prevent skin contact.
  2. Cut Equal Parts: Cut off equal amounts from each of the two sticks (the resin and the hardener).
  3. Mix Thoroughly: Knead the two pieces together with your fingers until the colour becomes uniform. This process typically takes about 2-5 minutes. Crucially, ensure there are no streaks of unmixed colour visible, as this indicates incomplete mixing and will prevent proper curing.
  4. Apply: Apply the mixed putty immediately to the prepared surface. Shape and smooth it as required.
  5. Curing: The putty will begin to harden shortly after mixing. Allow sufficient time for it to fully cure before sanding, drilling, or painting.

> Info needed: [Specific working time and full cure time at room temperature]

  1. Clean Tools: Clean tools with an appropriate solvent (e.g., isopropyl alcohol) before the putty sets.

Compatibility

Milliput Epoxy Putty - White adheres strongly to a wide range of materials, making it highly versatile:

  • Ceramics
  • Wood
  • Plastics
  • Glass
  • Metals
  • Cement
  • UPVC (for repairs and filling)

It is an excellent choice for repairing white domestic chinaware, picture mouldings, Victorian dolls, and filling minor damage on white domestic equipment.

Product Care & Safety

  • Storage: Store unused Milliput in a cool, dry place, ensuring the two components remain separate until use.
  • Safety: Always work in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct skin and eye contact. If contact occurs, wash thoroughly with soap and water. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not ingest.
