EPOXY KLAY A/B is a sculpting compound with good adhesion to wood, plastic, metal, glass, rigid foam, ceramic, stone, fiberglass and urethane resins.  Used by artists, sculptors, and modelers for custom, creative applications. This material has a 60-75 minute working time in 1/4" thickness.  Epoxy adhesives have great adhesion to most surfaces and work well in various environments where temperature or chemical resistance is a concern.  Surfaces of non-porous materials may require sanding or a solvent wipe for best adhesion.

Mix Instructions:

Mix material together by weight as accurately as possible avoiding color streaks--material should be uniform in color when thoroughly mixed.  Smooth out epoxy with a texturing tool or alcohol.  Epoxy Klay can be sanded and painted after full cure 12 hours later.  Additional layers can be added within 1 to 2 hours. The addition of heat to system will speed cure, i.e., using hair dryer set on Hot.  When applying in cold weather, epoxy can be warmed in a hot water bath (place unmixed containers in a plastic bag first and allow 15 minutes for hot water to heat up materials and then mix. **For additional assistance with your application, call Technical Support.
