MILLIPUT STD EPOXY GLUE
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 56·7gm. 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
(20-25ºC) 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.
