How to Use Astral Bondset Fast Setting
- Preparation: Clean the surface thoroughly—it must be free of grease and loose debris. Lightly roughening the area with sandpaper improves bonding dramatically.
- Mixing: Cut off the required amount. Knead the two components (resin and hardener) together rapidly by hand until the colour is uniform (no streaks). You have 3-5 minutes before it starts to harden.
- Application: Press the mixed putty firmly onto the repair area, forcing it into cracks or holes. Shape and smooth the putty before it hardens.
- Finishing: Once fully cured (24 hours), the area can be drilled, sanded, or painted. Learn more about effective epoxy repair techniques.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use this on a leaking pipe while the water is still running?
A: It can bond to wet surfaces, but for best results, stop the leak temporarily, dry the surface as much as possible, and then apply the putty.
Q: Does the colour change when it cures?
A: The mixed putty usually cures to an off-white or gray tone, depending on the variant. Always check the packaging for the final cured color.
Q: Can I store the unused portion?
A: Yes, only the mixed portion cures. The remaining unmixed resin and hardener sticks can be stored in the original packaging for later use.
