Product FAQ
How to use the product?
Dispense a portion of CA glue on a piece of styrene, glass or a metal sheet, never on cardboard as it will absorb your glue. Spray some powder onto the glue and mix it with a toothpick till you reach the consistency of putty. Quickly apply the putty and even it with a hobby knife to minimise the residue around the gap. Once the filling is dry sand it with 600 grade paper and follow with 1000 grade.
How long till the mixture becomes useless?
Mixed putty will be good for a minute or two depending on how much powder you introduce. Please note too little powder mill result in putty that exhibits shrinkage too much powder will make the putty harden before you can apply it. We advise you use the powder and glue in 1:1 ratio. If shrinkage is the case simply apply additional layer of putty.
Which glue is best suited to use with the powder?
We recommend VMS Flexy SLOW - it will give you some extra open time, but the powder can be used with any CA glue.
My filler bottle contents seem low?
All bottles are filled at around 2/3 of their capacity for a technical reason - the filling machine can't fill the powder to the brim as the powder gets aerated during filling which momentarily increases the volume, if we continued to fill a bottle the powder would overflow which would interfere with production flow. The powder itself settles down when the bottle is left alone for several days and the volume decreases. This phenomenon is related to the difference between bulk volume and actual volume. A bottle contents is 12-13 gr which is enough to fill around hundred gaps.
