• Heat resistant – Withstands temperatures up to 280°C.
  
• Waterproof – Can be used in wet environments (especially 89027 Underwater).
  
• Mouldable – Easily shaped to fill gaps, cracks, and holes.
  
• Paintable & sandable – Once cured, surfaces can be sanded and painted to restore aesthetics.
  
• Multi-surface adhesion – Bonds to metals, plastics, ceramics, wood, and concrete (depending on variant).
  

3. How do I use the JENOLITE Epoxy Putty?

Step 1: Surface Preparation

• Clean the area thoroughly, removing oil, grease, rust, loose paint, or contaminants.
  
• Roughen smooth surfaces for better adhesion (sandpaper or file).
  
• Ensure the surface is dry unless using the Underwater variant.
  

Step 2: Mixing & Moulding

• Cut off the required amount of putty.
  
• Knead thoroughly until the putty achieves a uniform colour.
  
• Shape and apply directly to the damaged area.
  

Step 3: Curing

• Functional in 60 minutes.
  
• Full cure occurs within 4–6 hours for thin layers; thicker applications may require longer.
  
• Once cured, sand, drill, or paint as needed.
  

4. Can I use it underwater?

Yes, the 89027 Underwater variant is specifically formulated for wet conditions and can be applied directly to submerged surfaces. Other variants should be applied to dry surfaces for optimal adhesion.

5. What materials can JENOLITE Epoxy Putty bond to?

• Plastic (89025) – Polyethylene, polypropylene, PVC, ABS, and other plastics.
  
• Metal (89026 Steel, 89181 Aluminium, 89182 Titanium, 89028 Copper) – Steel, aluminium, copper, titanium, brass, and other metals.
  
• Ceramics & concrete – Most variants can bond to ceramic, concrete, or masonry.
  
• Wood – Can be used to repair or fill gaps in wooden surfaces.
  

6. Is it safe to use on potable water pipes or food-contact surfaces?

JENOLITE Epoxy Putty is industrial-grade and not certified for drinking water or direct food contact applications. Use only for structural, repair, and decorative purposes.

7. Can I paint or finish over the cured putty?

Yes, once fully cured, the surface is:

• Sandable – Smooth out edges or shape as needed.
  
• Paintable – Compatible with most paints, including oil-based and water-based.
  

8. How long does it last once cured?

Once fully cured, the putty provides a long-lasting repair. It is:

• Resistant to water, oil, and many chemicals
  
• Heat resistant up to 280°C
  
• Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
  

9. Can I use it on hot surfaces?

Yes, the putty withstands temperatures up to 280°C. For continuous exposure near this limit, ensure the surface is clean and free of moisture.

10. Storage & Shelf Life

• Store in a cool, dry place.
  
• Keep the tube tightly sealed.
  
• Typical shelf life is 2 years from the date of manufacture.
  

11. Coverage & Application Guidelines

• Each 112g (7 inch) tube can repair medium-sized cracks or holes.
  
• Mould thickness should ideally not exceed 25mm per layer. For deeper repairs, apply in multiple layers, allowing partial cure between layers.
  

12. Can it be drilled, tapped, or machined?

Yes, once fully cured, the putty can be:

• Drilled
  
• Tapped
  
• Sanded
  
• Filed
  
• Painted
  

This allows for full restoration of structural and cosmetic integrity.

13. Tips for Best Results

Knead thoroughly for consistent curing.

Apply to roughened or clean surfaces for maximum adhesion.

Avoid applying extremely thick layers in a single application.

For underwater repairs, ensure continuous contact and pressure while curing.

14. Can I use it on moving parts?

JENOLITE Epoxy Putty is suitable for structural repairs, but constant friction areas (e.g., moving hinges or shafts) may require mechanical reinforcement or other high-performance adhesives.

1. Preparation
Before applying, roughen and clean the area to be repaired. Wear impervious gloves when mixing or handling uncured Putty. Then follow these easy steps.

2. Only Use The Required Amount
Cut or twist off required amount, putting the remaining epoxy back in the tube and reseal with the cap.

3. Mix Well
Wearing gloves, hand mix the epoxy by kneading with the fingers until a uniform colour is formed. If mixing is difficult, warm putty to room temperature or slightly above.

4. Apply To Surface To Be Repaired

89025 Plastic:
Does not adhere to polyethylene, polypropylene or some other plastics. Test for adhesion first. Apply to surface within 10 minutes of mixing. Force into any cracks or holes and extend the patch at least 1 inch beyond the area being repaired. When applying to a damp, wet or slowly leaking area, work the mixed material forcefully into the surface and apply pressure until adhesion begins to take effect. With a tool or finger moistened with clean water. Functional cure occurs in 2-3 hours.

89026 Steel, 89028 Copper, 89181 Aluminium, 89182 Titanium: Ensure to apply within 2 minutes of mixing. Force into any cracks or holes and strike off excess material, preferably with a tool moistened with clean water. When applying to a damp, wet or slowly leaking area, work the mixed material forcefully into the surface and apply pressure until adhesion begins to take effect. Functional Strength is achieved after just 60 minutes.

89027 Underwater:
After mixing, Underwater Epoxy Stick has a 20-25 min work life. After mixing, it forms a polymer compound that may be applied underwater (either fresh or salt water). Force into any cracks or holes and strike off excess material, preferably with a tool moistened with clean water. When applying to a damp, wet or slowly leaking area, work the mixed material forcefully into the surface and apply pressure until adhesion begins to take effect. Functional Strength is achieved after just 60 minutes.

For best results: Use damp fingers for easier mixing, application, and a smooth appearance of the cured compound. Remove excess material before hardening begins.
