The curing time can vary depending on the thickness of the application and ambient temperature. Typically, it will harden significantly within a few hours and reach full cure after 24 hours. Refer to specific instructions on the product packaging if available.
While primarily designed for exhaust systems due to its high heat resistance, it may be suitable for other high-temperature metal repairs where a durable, flexible seal is needed. However, always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Yes, the product is asbestos-free, making it a safer option for repairs.
When stored correctly in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed, the putty typically maintains its usability for an extended period, often over a year.
The coverage will depend on the size and depth of the repair. One 250g tub is generally sufficient for sealing small to medium-sized holes or cracks in exhaust components.
For minor repairs, it may be possible to apply the putty with the exhaust system in place if access is possible. However, for optimal results and safety, it is often recommended to allow the exhaust to cool completely and gain adequate access.
Ensure the tub has been stored correctly. If slightly firm, try warming the tub slightly in your hands before opening and attempting to apply.
Ensure the exhaust surface was thoroughly cleaned and prepared before application. Reapply the putty, ensuring a thicker, more complete fill of the damaged area and good adhesion to the surrounding metal.
Work in smaller batches and ensure the remaining putty is tightly sealed. Avoid applying in direct, hot sunlight if possible.
Setup: Ensure the affected area of the exhaust system is clean, dry, and free from loose rust or debris. For best results, lightly roughen the surface with sandpaper. Apply the putty directly to the damaged area, ensuring it fills the hole or gap completely and adheres firmly to the surrounding metal. Shape the putty as needed to create a smooth finish.
Compatibility: This putty is specifically designed for exhaust system repairs. It is compatible with most standard automotive exhaust materials. It is not intended for use on components that are subject to extreme flexing or vibration.
Care: Store the unused tubs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lids are tightly sealed to maintain the putty's texture and prevent drying out. Once applied and cured, the repaired area should require no special care beyond normal vehicle maintenance.
