Milliput 90300004 Epoxy Putty, Superfine White

Product Information

a two part epoxy putty Established in 1968, Milliput is one of the world's leading producers of epoxy putties. If your objective is just a surface coating or filler for minor defects, which doesn't need to be durable and won't be subject to a lot of handling, thinned Milliput may be adequate. But it isn't the ideal solution. Epoxy-based products work best when used as manufactured; start with a product of the right consistency for your needs. Silver Grey is suitable for applications that do not involve extremely fine details. Slightly finer than Standard Milliput. Ideal for repairs to stone coloured garden ornaments. Typical Applications Recommended that Milliput is stored in cool, dry conditions. Please reseal bags after use. Stored correctly this product should remain workable for about 2 years. Typical applications:

Here is your guide to leaking pipe repair using Milliput Epoxy Putty. What is Milliput Epoxy Putty? When tools have been used for applying or contouring Milliput they should be cleaned immediately after use. If the putty is allowed to harden on it will be almost impossible to remove. First used this product about 35 years ago at work and was impressed then. Forgot about it for the best part of the 30 years in between but was reminded of it on a car forum recently. Milliputs drying time depends on the temperature, but at room temp it is hard in 3 to 4 hours. If you speed the process by applying heat the hardening time can be reduced to just a few minutes.

Once you are satisfied with your paint job simply let the paint dry and then finally apply a top coat to protect the paint from the sun, from scratches, and more. I like to use either a varnish or an acrylic sealer as a topcoat. So you can use epoxy putty outdoors however you like and you won´t run into any issues. I have a few sculptures sitting outside in the garden where they have little to no protection against the elements and they are all still fine even after two years.

Here someone suggest adding a little soap with the water, as this will not only let it mix better, but also increase the drying time, although I think this might be detrimental for the structure.After the Primer has dried it is finally time to paint the sculpture. Simply use the paint of your choice ( I personally love to use acrylic Paint) and paint your sculpture however you like. Work your way up the wire trunk adding a layer of putty to cover the wire. Don’t worry too much if it doesn’t look too bark-like at this stage. So, yes, Milliput can be used to fix a leaking pipe. There are several caveats though, including its work time and the fact that it is not as effective at repairing pipes as putties specifically formulated to bond with certain materials. Powder pigment can be mixed in, in small quantities, so that the mixture does not become too dry and crumbly. Strong powder pigment rather than powder paint is better as smaller amounts can be used.

After setting hard Milliput continues to cure and is fully cured after an elapse of time equal to the setting time at the same temperature. Once fully cured Milliput can be machined, drilled, tapped, turned, filed, sawn, sandpapered and painted. Milliput Epoxy Putty is a quite new crafting material compared to clay so it is natural, that people can´t really wrap their head around how it is actually working, how it actually hardens and how hard it will be after it is fully cured. When you get the the branches, you can choose how much of the wire you cover, as this will depend on how much foliage coverage you’re planning to have. You may not need to cover all the wire if you know you’ll be covering these with leave or moss later.

So it doesn´t matter if you put the epoxy putty in an airtight container or underwater it will harden regardless once the two components have been mixed.

Milliput Epoxy Putty is sandable, so if the putty has hardened fully then sanding paper or a Dremmel can be used to smooth the sculpture or to add an extra layer of detail. The dust from sanding epoxy putty is very fine so a protective mask should be worn when sanding Milliput or other epoxy putties.Milliput Epoxy Putty is waterproof and can be used outdoors without any issues. Epoxy Putty will even set underwater because it does not dry out like conventional clay but it instead hardens because two components react with each other to harden the epoxy. The ratio really depends on what you want to achieve - what works best for your application. I suggest experimenting with the amount, slowly adding more, until it behaves the way you want it to.
