Part A and Part B are blended one to one by hand into a smooth putty that bonds to metals, plastics, ceramic, stone, wood and fibreglass, and it sticks to itself whether fresh or already cured. Working time runs 1–3 hours; full cure takes 24 hours at room temperature, with no baking, and leaves a rock-hard, semi-gloss surface. Nothing shrinks or cracks, so a rebuilt bracket keeps its shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnead for two minutes, then let it rest 5 minutes for easier handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeat-rated at 260 °C, or 500 °F; UV and fuel leave it alone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine the cured putty: drill it, tap a thread into it, sand or file it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarine and exterior quality: waterproof and freeze-thaw stable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSulfur-free, and conforms to ASTM D-4236\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Aluminium\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mid grey with a metallic look, meant for mending metal: castings, white-metal or pewter miniatures, model vehicles, machine parts and brackets. A fill in this colour sits quietly against bare metal, which matters under a metallic paint scheme or where the part stays unpainted. Bear in mind it only looks like metal; it is grey putty with no chrome shine, so rub it down with abrasive paper and paint or drybrush it for real metallic sheen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe 1 lb pack\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne kit holds Part A and Part B, 454 g in total: the middle of the three Fixit sizes we stock, enough for a terrain project or a run of repairs. The other sizes in this colour are linked in the specification table. Mix only what you can use within the working time; once A and B meet, it cures whether you have finished or not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWorth knowing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt cures rigid, so it is not for parts that need to flex, and for fine figure sculpting Apoxie Sculpt is the smoother compound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot for safety-critical or load-bearing parts, or pressurised gas and fuel systems. We hold no food-contact certification for it, so keep it off surfaces that touch food or drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt may cause an allergic skin reaction and eye irritation: wear gloves when mixing. Sanding dust from the cured putty contains crystalline silica, so wear a dust mask and safety glasses. Keep it away from children.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aves Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68244745486525,"sku":"FX1ALU","price":25.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/9583\/4503\/files\/Hero1_2e26d8c6-2a9d-478f-8233-8134e2870edd.png?v=1794401925","url":"https:\/\/hobbyheaven.org\/products\/aves-fixit-454g-1lb-aluminium-epoxy-repair-putty","provider":"Hobby Heaven","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
