FastSteel Steel-Reinforced Epoxy Putty Stick Product Description FastSteel is a hand-mixable, non-rusting, steel-reinforced epoxy putty that quickly repairs or rebuilds anything made of steel. After mixing, it forms an industrial-strength polymer compound that can be molded into shapes or used to build up, patch and repair steel components. Each handy stick contains pre-measured portions of activator and base throughout — no measuring or mixing tools are necessary. The consistency (like modeling clay) eliminates drips and runs and facilitates adhesion to the substrate.

After 60 minutes the application can be drilled, tapped, ground, machined, filed, and painted. FastSteel cures to a dark gray metallic color. Suitable for interior or exterior use, it is resistant to water, chemicals, and temperature extremes. FastSteel contains no VOCs or solvents. It's non-flammable and releases no noxious fumes. It won't shrink or pull away. The unused portion stays fresh for future use when saved in its original package.

How To Use Before applying, roughen and clean the area to be repaired.

Wear impervious gloves when mixing or handling uncured FastSteel. Then follow these easy steps.

1. Cut or twist off required amount.

2. Mix by kneading with gloved fingers to a uniform color. If mixing is difficult, warm FastSteel to room temperature or slightly above.

3. Apply to surface to be repaired 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.

For best results: Use damp fingers for easier mixing application, and smooth appearance of the cured compound.

Remove excess material before hardening begins.

Curing: FastSteel has a 3- to 5-minute work life. Functional cure occurs in 60 minutes.
