Setup, Compatibility & Care
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.
