To achieve optimum adhesion, repair surfaces should be scuffed and/or lightly sanded and cleaned free of grease or dirt prior to application.
Side-by-side tape: Cut or twist off a length of tape and mix by kneading with damp fingers to a uniform color. Any length contains the correct ratio of base to curing agent. Apply within 1 hour of mixing.
Bars: Cut or twist off 1 part blue curing agent to 1.5 parts yellow base. Mixing proportions can be adjusted to control cure time and hardness: more blue produces a faster, harder cure; more yellow results in a slower, softer cure. Mix by kneading with damp fingers to a uniform color. Apply within 1 hour of mixing.
Blue/Yellow has a 1 to 2 hour work life, Functional cure occurs in 4 to 5 hours when Blue/Yellow can be drilled, sawed, carved, sanded, stained, and painted. Ultimate hardness is reached in 20 to 24 hours. Cured color is green.
