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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShrinkage and cracking are both 0%, so fills stay where you put them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBefore it sets, smooth the surface or add texture using a wet finger, brush or modelling tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperatures as high as 260 °C (500 °F) are fine; it also resists UV, fuel and water, and even sets up submerged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCured Fixit machines like a solid: drill, tap, thread, sand or carve it, then paint it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Black?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe 3 lb kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWorth knowing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt cures rigid.\u003c\/strong\u003e Not the right choice for parts that need to flex; use a flexible putty for those.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt is a repair putty first.\u003c\/strong\u003e For fine figure sculpting, Apoxie Sculpt or Fixit Sculpt are more pleasant to work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnow where to stop.\u003c\/strong\u003e Do not rely on it for safety-critical or load-bearing parts, or for pressurised gas or fuel systems.
