Milliput Silver Grey.
Milliput is the trade name for our epoxy putty. Milliput produce five
grades: Standard Yellow/Grey, Silver Grey, Superfine White, Terracotta,
and the latest addition - Milliput Black. Each grade is presented in
similar packs containing 2 x 56á7gm. sticks and the general instructions
for preparation and usage are the same.The two sticks have a long shelf
life but once mixed the resultant putty is at first soft and highly
adhesive and then gradually hardens. Speed of hardening is dependant on
temperature and at normal temperatures (20-25_C) Milliput becomes rock
hard in three to four hours. By the application of heat the setting time
can be reduced to a few minutes.After setting hard Milliput continues
to cure and is fully cured after an elapse of time equal to the setting
time at the same temperature. Once fully cured Milliput can be machined,
drilled, tapped, turned, filed, sawn, sandpapered and painted. Milliput
can be sandpapered and painted immediately it has set. (it is advisable
to wear eye protection during this process).Milliput is an excellent
adhesive and will bond any of the following to itself or to any of the
others - wood, brick, cement, metals, concrete, plastics, glass etc, but
note that Milliput is not intended as a thin layer adhesive and should
not be used where a paste, mucilage or thin glue is indicated. Milliput
will set under water and is heat resistant up to 130°C.Shelf Life:We
recommend Milliput is stored in cool, dry conditions. Please reseal bags
after use. Stored correctly this product should remain workable for
about 2 years.
A Cool Tip!
If you are interrupted while
you are mixing Milliput, you can put the Milliput into a deep freezer
until you can get back to work. This will keep the product at
approximately the same state of setting at which it was frozen for up to
36 hours. Simply remove the now frozen product from the freezer and
warm in the hand and it is ready to use. If stored immediately on mixing
it retains its sticky nature.
