How to use- A+B Putty Products
Mixing and applying A+B putty is as easy as one, two, three. For A+B putty products simply cut off equal parts of the A+B bars. Knead and roll in your hands or on a clean working surface for approximately four to five minutes. The color of each bar should merge or blend to become one uniform color. Make sure no color streaks are visible. The product is now ready to be applied to a surface free of gas, grease, oil, rust, or excessive dirt and debris. Sanding or roughing up the surface is recommended. Apply the putty and allow thirty minutes work time on regular set or fifteen minutes for fast set putty products. A+B epoxy putty responds well to the use of water for smoothing and manipulation. Gloves are advisable for mixing and molding the putty products. Clean all tools or reusable gloves with soap and warm water immediately after use. After curing the product can be sanded, machined, drilled, tapped, turned, filled, sawn, or painted. It even sets up under water!
