Jan had sent me some modellers putty called 'Kaltmetal', I can find anything on it on the web and the instruction are in German. What does, "Erhalten Sie nicht auf Ihren Händen!" mean? |

It's made like seaside rock.
I guessed that you just slice
it and mix.... |

Martin, Pass the word along to anyone who might be in need of this epoxy type of putty, "Bondo Corporation" makes some stuff called "Marine Epoxy Stick" that looks like the stuff Jan used. It kinda looks like a sausage with a thick casing, which you cut or twist off the amount you need and knead it twixt your fingers. It takes about 20-30 minutes to harden and is readily sanded. I used it for several things on my Coast Guard lifeboat, including making life jackets and hats for my crew. Check the internet for Bondo Marine Products. I also used it to make fuel fill and vents, per attached file. There are more tips that I've done on Clive Lawford's "44 foot lifeboat" site, that might be adapted to other uses. Imagination is the keyword. The main thing is, when using this stuff, know what you are going to do going in, as you've only about 15 minutes before it starts getting hard. If you've got a female mould, it works good that way too. Just be sure to lightly oil the mould for a release agent, before you press in the putty. |
