Epoxy Putty - 8oz / 227g Pool Putty, 2 in 1 Underwater or Above Fast Repair, Fix Leaks, Cracks, Filling, Sculpting - 2 Part Epoxy Sculpt Clay for Metal, Tile, Concrete, Plastic, Ceramics (Black)

This is interesting material to use. Although I mixed by weight, as indicated in the instructions, I could probably do it by volume in an emergency, since the densities of Parts A & B are very similar. It takes some time to mix the two parts to get a uniform color, but the working time is 45 minutes, so there's no need to rush. Once mixed, you have a firm, somewhat stiff putty that you can mold around objects and into corners. It has a slightly sticky surface initially but sets hard in 24 hours.

This putty has significantly lengthened the life of so many items. I have a habit of buying the least expensive everything, which means the quality is generally low. This putty has helped me repair headphones, a lamp, make a hook...it's pretty versatile and super strong.

With a few extra steps beyond what the instructions indicate, you can get pretty great results. The photo shows mine on a textured black countertop, so it’s not perfect but the smaller divot doesn’t show at all and the larger one looks more like a water spot. I should preface that I’m an artist that works with sculptural materials including epoxy so I might have a leg up on this but here’s what I did. I mixed the two parts thoroughly and pressed them into the damaged spots, using the provided putty knife, pressing down and pushing to the edge to level it. I see-sawed the putty knife over the edge to give it that slight roundness and then I gave it five minutes to start to set. It should still be fully malleable but not sticky and then you can use some water on it to smooth the surface with a finger (highly suggest a nitrile or latex glove). You can also use water and a plastic scraperto help remove excess from the surface while it’s still not cured. I left the patch a hair higher than the counter surface so I could sand it with micromesh sheets (should be able to get them here on Amazon) to make it perfectly level but if you’re after a gloss surface, and don’t want to polish with micro mesh, take a piece of packing tape and on the sticky side of the packing tape, stick a smaller piece of packing tape just big enough to cover the patch area, sticky side down. Tape this over the patch areas so the shiny side of the small piece of packing tape lays over the patch area and then with a flat block of some sort (I grabbed a nearby USB block cause don’t we all have tons of those hanging around). Wrap the block in a paper towel or thin cloth to reduce friction and then rub that over the packing tape to level the epoxy. Glossy packing tape will not stick to epoxy. Once cured, the epoxy patch will take on the gloss of the packing tape. The only downside to this method is if it’s not completely level the gloss will literally highlight the bump especially on dark colors like my black counter top. If using micro mesh, go go through all the levels using a block for the first 3-4 coarser sheets. Try to get it almost completely leveled with the first coarse sheet as the finer sheets don’t take a whole lot off, then it’s a half dozen swipes with each progressively finer sheet until you get to a sheen that matches your counter. Periodically stopped to wipe it down with a damp cloth and then dry it to see what the sheen is once clean. I realize it sounds like a lot of work but, especially for the price of these countertops, a little effort to make a good repair not only looks nice, it’s very satisfying to see the great results.

Easy to work with

Quality product, that you activate the Epoxy Mix, by rolling in your hand. This Under Water Epoxy Puddy, stopped the leak around the Skimmer Wall Unit of my Florida Pool.

I have purchased this product once before and it has worked well on my wood turning projects. It mixes without difficulty and hardens within an acceptable time period. The price is good for the quality of the putty.

My favorite coffee mug had a chip in it. I wanted to fix it and found this food fast epoxy. Super simple to use. 1:1 ratio and keep it in a dry spot for storage. No mess, no fuss. Dried hard as a rock and easy to sand. I only needed a smidge. I waited 24hr and then used a high grit sandpaper to smooth it out. Worked like a charm and I'm super happy. I wish I took before and after, but I didn't think of it at the time.

It works but has some drawbacks. Its not that pliable, I tried wetting it to make it softer, but you have to be careful how much. Ok to sand gently when not completely dry. Also not suitable for pottery used in the oven it darkens from the heat. Having said that, they are all like that, I have tried other brands. One suggestion to the manufacturer: optional liquid colors to add to basic neutral putty to match the crockery being repaired.

I was not expecting much when I ordered this 2 part epoxy. I have used many over many years. Did I get a surprise. First of all I got colour choices. ; black , white or grey . I found: it was good inside or out, held on many surfaces, took vibrations in stride and was easy to use with little mess . My first use was fixing a rear emblem on my car. That was eight months ago. It is still holding, gone through car washes and road trips. The repair saved me $350.00 as emblem was only cracked. Since then I have used around the home. My wife has used some as a modelling clay and to repair clay pots (not food safe however ). Great purchase!

Wear gloves and mix by hand. Easy to mold and fit into a hole. Exceptional hardening. The included trowel is useless so get your own.

First time I used it but it worked great on ceramics. I was able to paint it and seal it.

My bone conduction headphones broke on one side: it was hanging on, and still worked, but it didn't make proper contact with my head on that side; and that reduced the contact strength on the other side as well. The epoxy putty was easy to work with, and cured over 24 hrs, as promised. Now I can keep using my headphones, and they work as before. Plus there'll be no mistaking my pair for anyone else's. ;)

Mixes easily, dries hard and sticks well. Works to fix a lot of different things. Love it
