No, this product is specifically designed for metal surfaces and is not flexible enough for use on plastic bumpers.
You can begin sanding once the filler has set, which typically takes 5-10 minutes at 20 degrees Celsius.
Start with P80 grit paper to shape the filler, then proceed to finer grits for finishing.
No, never return mixed filler to the container as it will contaminate the batch and cause it to harden in the tin.
Once fully cured and covered with an appropriate primer and topcoat, the repair will be sealed against the elements.
Check the mixing ratio; if insufficient hardener was added, the chemical reaction will not trigger. Also, ensure the ambient temperature is not too low.
Avoid aggressive mixing that traps air; use a folding motion when combining the putty with the hardener.
Ensure the surface was sanded to bare metal and properly degreased before application.
Before applying the putty, ensure the metal surface is completely free of rust, paint, and contaminants by using a degreaser. The mixing process is critical for proper curing: use a ratio of 98% putty to 2% hardener. When mixing, fold the components together carefully to avoid introducing air bubbles, which can cause pinholes in your final finish. Always work in a well-ventilated area and at an ambient temperature of approximately 20 degrees Celsius for optimal results. Store the paste in a cool, dry place and never return unused, mixed paste to the original tin as it will contaminate the remaining product.
