As with any adhesive, always check the directions first, particularly the safety instructions. With epoxy putties, you are working with two agents, a resin and a hardener, and each has its own safety precautions. But, in general, wearing nitrile or latex gloves and working in a ventilated place when mixing will suffice. Here’s what you do if you want to form a 3-dimensional fix on any object:
- Tools required: A box cutter or utility knife. You may also need sandpaper and acetone.
-
Prepare the surfaces to be fixed. A light sanding may be necessary to roughen the surfaces.
-
Cut off equal amounts of resin and hardener onto a sheet of cardboard. The amount depends on how much you need to use, but remember, you only have 5 to 10 minutes to work here.
-
Mix the resin and hardener thoroughly by kneading the two elements together between the palms of your hand and using fingers and thumbs. Keep doing this until the colour is consistent with no streaks.
-
Place the mixed putty in your hand to mold and shape. Apply the shaped putty to the surface to be fixed and support if necessary, until initial set after approximately 10 minutes.
- Clean up! Throw away the remaining epoxy putty and cardboard, remove your gloves and wash your hands.
