  • A versatile product for general repair and maintenance tasks, including fixing seals, joints, and other components that require flexibility.

How to Use

1. Surface Preparation:
   • Clean the surface thoroughly, removing all contaminants such as oil, grease, dirt, and rust. Abrade the surface to ensure optimal adhesion.
2. Mixing:
   • Mix the two components (Part A and Part B) in the recommended ratio until a uniform color is achieved.
3. Application:
   • Apply the mixed compound to the damaged area using a spatula, putty knife, or similar tool, ensuring it fills the crack or gap. Smooth the surface to the desired finish.
4. Curing:
   • Allow the compound to cure for the recommended time (typically 24 hours at 20°C/68°F) before subjecting the repaired area to stress or pressure.
