- Wearing gloves, take equal amounts of putty A and putty B. Mix/knead thoroughly until a uniform yellow colour is reached. Ensure there are no white or yellow streaks are present. If streaks are present continue to mix thoroughly uniform colour is reached.
- Apply mixed putty into damaged area (and drilled holes). Ensure intimate contact between liquid coated areas.
- Let product cure. This can take 3-5 hours or longer depending on temperature and amount of putty applied. It may be recommended to let product sit for 24 hours.
