Description - Fast Acting, Repair Putty

UNIFIX is a hand kneadable, speciality epoxy putty that mixes in one minute to provide permanent repairs to damp, wet area and underwater applications. It may be applied underwater, in either fresh or salt water and will bond tenaciously to substrates such as fibreglass, metal, wood, concrete, ceramics, glass, etc. UNIFIX's cure rate is dependent upon the temperature of the water just as it is affected by the air temperature in nonimmersed applications.

The lower the temperature the longer it takes to cure. UNIFIX comes in a handy rod form with the curing agent encapsulated in  the contrasting color base material. Its putty - like consistency eliminates drips and runs providing "no mass" applications with no tools required for use. UNIFIX has 100% solids content, will not shrink, and is water insoluble.

The mixed epoxy turns from an aquamarine color to "fibreglass white" upon curing and will not yellow upon exposure to  UN. After final cure, UNIFIX may be drilled, sawn, tapped, sanded, and  painted. It allows patching in area where welding is impossible.

  Applications

UNIFIX moulds to  permanently patch dents, scratches, cuts, gouges, and holes in fibreglass, metal, and wooden boat decks and hull; repair fittings, pipes, electrical connections leaking gaskets, fuel tanks, fish boxes, tubs, battery cases, sinks, toilet basins, spas, hot tubs, pools, and to from custom gaskets, etc. UNIFIX is ideal for making emergency in - water repairs. Unused UNIFIX fix will remain stable for years if protected from direct contect with the air.

  Directions For Use

In order to achieve optimum adhesion, surfaces should be cleaned free of grease or dirt. Scuffing or sanding the surface prior to cleaning helps to ensure a good bond.

Mixing: Twist or cut off required amount to mix knead with fingers to a uniform color. If mixing is difficult warm UNIFIX to room temperature or slightly above. Apply to the surface to be repaired (within 5 - 10 minutes of mixing).
The mixed epoxy does not exhibit high bond strength at this point, but appears to be merely lying on the surface.
Force into any cracks or holes to be filled and strike off excess material, preferably with tool wetted with clean water.
When applying to a damp, wet or slowly leaking area, work the material forcefully into the surface and apply pressure until adhesion begins to take effect.

For a smooth appearance of the cured compound, hand rub with water or the damp cloth prior to hardening.
Remove excess material before hardening begins. After 15-20 minutes the epoxy will harden like metal and start to form a tenacious bond. After just 45 minutes UNIFIX is completely cured and it can be drilled, sawn, carved, sanded, stained, or painted.

  Health And Safety

UNIFIX contains epoxy resins and hardeners which can cause skin irritation in sensitive subjects. It is therefore recommended that the hands are washed immediately after use, using either a proprietary hand cleaner such as Swarfega or soap and water. Always keep UNIFIX away from foodstuffs and food utensils.
