Equal amounts kneaded together give a firm, smooth putty with one to three hours of working time, enough to rebuild a broken rim or fill a run of cracked brickwork in one go. It hardens without firing or baking, reaching full cure in 24 hours, and is made for outdoor use: waterproof, UV resistant and freeze-thaw stable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrips ceramic, stone, masonry, tile and wood, plus metals, plastics and fibreglass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZero shrinkage and zero cracking as it cures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooths with water before it sets; after curing it sands, drills and carves cleanly and accepts paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuel resistant, with a heat rating of 260 °C (500 °F)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Terracotta?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose Terracotta for clay pots and planters, earthenware, tile and brick, where a pale or grey fill would stand out.
