Troubleshooting
Putty is too hard to mold
Hold the putty in your palm or pocket for two minutes to allow body heat to soften the tungsten compound.
Putty slides off the hooklink
Ensure the hooklink is dry and free from line lubricant before application. Use a small knot or a 'blob' of boiled material to act as a stopper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, always store the putty in its provided container to prevent it from picking up grit or debris. Before use, ensure your hooklink material is dry, as excess water can temporarily reduce adhesion. To clean the putty if it gathers silt, simply fold it over on itself several times until the dirt is encapsulated within the center. It is compatible with all standard fluorocarbon and braided hooklink materials. In sub-zero temperatures, keep the pot in an inside pocket to maintain a pliable working temperature.
