Product overview

This is Fixit in Black, in the three-pound kit: the Aves two-part epoxy putty for filling, bonding, sealing and rebuilding. Take the same amount from each jar, knead them for about two minutes until no streaks remain, and you get a smooth, firm putty that grips metal, plastics, fibreglass, wood, stone and tile. It stays workable for one to three hours and self-hardens without heat; after a full 24-hour cure it is rock hard.

Shrinkage and cracking are both 0%, so fills stay where you put them
Before it sets, smooth the surface or add texture using a wet finger, brush or modelling tool
Temperatures as high as 260 °C (500 °F) are fine; it also resists UV, fuel and water, and even sets up submerged
Cured Fixit machines like a solid: drill, tap, thread, sand or carve it, then paint it

Why Black?

Black suits dark parts: black plastic, cast iron, dark resin, rubber-effect hoses or tyres, and anything painted dark. A black fill hides a chip without a full repaint, and building up in black under a dark basecoat keeps pale filler from showing at the edges.

The 3 lb kit

At 1.36 kg this is the big kit, sized for workshops, clubs, scenery builders and repairs on vehicles, machinery or outdoor fittings, where a small pack runs out halfway: you get a 680 g jar of each part. Sealed between uses, both parts cope with frost, so keeping the tubs in an unheated garage is fine.

Worth knowing

It cures rigid. Not the right choice for parts that need to flex; use a flexible putty for those.
It is a repair putty first. For fine figure sculpting, Apoxie Sculpt or Fixit Sculpt are more pleasant to work.
About the colour: Fine texture is difficult to judge on a black surface, so light it from the side, or sculpt in a paler colour and paint it black later.
Know where to stop. Do not rely on it for safety-critical or load-bearing parts, or for pressurised gas or fuel systems. We have no food-contact certification for it, so keep it off surfaces that touch food or drink.
Use it sensibly. Wear gloves when mixing, and a dust mask and eye protection when sanding cured Fixit, as the dust contains crystalline silica. Keep away from children.

Notes · Q & A

Apoxie Sculpt, Apoxie Clay or Fixit — which Aves compound do I need?

All three are two-part epoxy compounds mixed in equal amounts that harden on their own, with no oven or kiln. Apoxie Sculpt is the smooth, all-round sculpting compound in a wide choice of colours. Apoxie Clay has a fine, clay-like grain for detail and texture. Fixit is the firmer repair formula, heat rated to 260 °C and resistant to fuel, for fills, bonds and rebuilt parts.

How do I mix it, and how long can I work it?

Take equal amounts of Part A and Part B, ideally wearing nitrile gloves, and knead for about two minutes until the colour is completely even with no streaks; under-mixed putty leaves soft spots. Working time varies by product, from about one hour to three, and is listed on each product page. All of them reach full cure in 24 hours.

How do I smooth it, and what cleans it up?

While it is still workable, smooth or texture the surface with a little water on a finger, brush or tool, or with Aves Safety Solvent, which also lifts fingerprints; Apoxie Clay is smoothed with the solvent. Hands and tools clean up with soap and water before the compound sets. Once cured, only sanding or carving will remove it.

Can I sand, drill and paint it once cured, and what precautions should I take?

After the full cure it can be sanded, filed, drilled, tapped or turned without chipping, and it takes paint wet or cured. It does not shrink, and it is waterproof and freeze-thaw stable. Wear gloves when mixing, since the uncured compound can cause a skin allergy and eye irritation, and a dust mask and safety glasses when sanding.
