Description
Fixol-Rapid Repair is a hand kneadable Epoxy Putty supplied as a two-part concentric stick of differing colours. When mixed it sets to a hard pale white material which can be drilled, sawn, filed or sanded and painted as required.

Instructions
Important:  Surfaces must be free from dust, oil, grease, wax and all loose material – Wear the provided rubber gloves when kneading and applying Fixol- Rapid Repair.

1. In order to achieve optimum adhesion, surfaces should be cleaned free of grease, dirt, paint etc. To ensure a good bond, abrade both surfaces followed by additional cleaning.
2. Twist or cut off the required amount of Putty.
3. If the material is cold, mixing it may be difficult, and warming it to room temperature is advised.  When warm enough, mix and knead the putty with the fingers for at least one minute or until it is a uniform white colour.
4. Press the putty onto the prepared surface within 5 to 10 minutes of mixing, after which time it will start to harden.  If it is being used as an adhesive, apply to both surfaces and then unite by forcing them together.  Support the joint as necessary. If it is being used as a filler/repair material force, the putty into the area to be filled and shape and remove any excess with a tool wetted with clean water.
5. After 20 to 30 minutes the putty will harden like metal and start to form a tenacious bond. After 60 minutes, the material is sufficiently cured to be drilled or sawn and it will achieve full cure after 24 hours. It can also be smoothed down with the enclosed wet and dry strip and then finished as required.

Chemical resistance
