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 (White)

I had a little hummingbird wind chime that my kitten knocked down & 1 wing broke. I was kind of attached to it so I bought this stuff to repair the last quarter of the wing (I could never find the broken piece).I will say that the gloves are a disaster & I even tried my own better quality gloves, but just got all gooey tangled up in the glove- so I had to remove the gloves and work by hand, after that things went pretty well. I’ve left it to dry for tonight… will see how it hardens… next step is to sand and paint to match the other wing. I gave it a 4 star for now just cause I won’t know for sure how it is until it hardens in the next 24 hours.Update: it dried within 24 hours, I then sanded the wing & etched some lines on the new prosthetic wing & painted the little hummingbird & now she looks perfect.

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.

Works great for patching minor leaks on pool equipment. I tried various sealers that failed under the pressure

Surprised how good it work on my lawnmower. Used it to cover rust holes and cracks.in plastic

Works great and is easy to use

Used to stop leak in drain pipe. Worked well.

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.

Amazing it gets super hard, easy to model. I use for epoxy jewerly to fill gaps or imperfections and works great. Love it!
