The two components go together in equal amounts, and two minutes of kneading gives a uniform, firm putty with a strong grip. A damp brush, cotton bud or sculpting tool will smooth or texture the surface during the 1–3 hour working window. It hardens on its own and reaches full cure after a day, finishing semi-gloss and solid enough to machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZero shrinkage, so filled gaps stay level\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaterproof and exterior grade, with heat resistance to 260 °C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBonds to itself at any stage, before or after curing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccepts paint whether the putty is still wet or fully cured\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Aluminium?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAluminium is a grey with a metallic look, for mending metal: cast parts, pewter and white-metal miniatures, model vehicles, machines and mounting hardware. A filled or rebuilt section sits close to the colour of bare metal, so it disappears more easily under a metallic finish or on parts you leave unpainted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe 113 g (1\/4 lb) pack\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe smallest pack: 113 g in total, Part A plus Part B. It covers a good run of small repairs, gap fills and conversions, and it is the sensible way to try Fixit before buying in bulk. The 1 lb (454 g) and 3 lb (1.36 kg) packs hold the same formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWorth knowing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt cures rigid, so it is not the right choice for parts that need to flex.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt is a firm repair putty first. You can sculpt with it, but for fine figure work Apoxie Sculpt is the smoother material.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine for hobby, craft, home and workshop repairs, but do not rely on it for safety-critical or load-bearing parts, or for pressurised gas or fuel systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe hold no food-contact certification for it, so keep it off surfaces that touch food or drink.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWear gloves when mixing, and a dust mask and safety glasses when sanding: dust from the cured putty contains crystalline silica. Keep out of reach of children.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt is a metal-coloured putty, not a metal, and it will not polish to a chrome shine; for real sheen, sand it smooth and add metallic paint or a drybrush.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Aves Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68244743815357,"sku":"FX1\/4ALU","price":15.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/9583\/4503\/files\/Hero1_77de4e38-267a-40b1-a091-0e24df780f52.png?v=1794401830","url":"https:\/\/hobbyheaven.org\/en-us\/products\/aves-fixit-113g-quarter-lb-aluminium-epoxy-repair-putty","provider":"Hobby Heaven","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
