MilliputEpoxy Putty - Black

I’m all about extending the lifespan of “stuff” and this is my fav product du jour!1. One of the wheels of a sizable piece of Samsonite luggage had crumbled. Everything else in great condition so definitely didn’t want to get rid of it but it wasn’t fit for purpose with this breakage. Followed the easy instructions (used gloves) and literally within the stated 4 hours it has dried solid in place. The wheel is now just like new. This is pre-wheeling it any significant distance but it looks and feels solid. :))2. Additionally, I have a large decorative mirror. It’s 18+ years old, still looks great however a few glass mirror tiles have fallen out. So not so great. I’d tried various superglues but to no avail. It’s too heavy to take down so the tiles have to cure in situ, in a vertical position which isn’t ideal. I tried a piece of Milliput putty which has safely secured the glass tiles in place. I’m so happy with these repairs. Impressive performance. Most excellent product.

I’m a white good engineer and regularly find cracks in washing machine drums causing machines to leak heavily. Generally, the drum needs swapping out but I decided to give this stuff ago. After using equal parts of the two sticks and spending five minutes needing and rolling the two colours together to form a uniform colour, press this onto it the hairline in the washing machine within three hours it is rock solid and no leaks. I’ve always got a box of this in my toolbox now which will save my customers a fortune

I've use Milliput for model-making for many years. Black is great for my use. The putty is as good as ever - easy to mix and sculpt, and lightweight but solid once it has fully cured.The two rolls of putty are now wrapped in plastic film rather than the poly bags of old. This makes it a lot harder to open and to seal up the unused putty - a backwards step for usability as I now need to double-wrap with my own poly bags. I'll continue to use Milliput, but with a hint of melancholy.

This is useful stuff. It arrives as two little tubes of gunk in plastic bags in a cardboard box. The idea is that you mix equal quantities of the stuff then mould it like clay and an hour or so later it sets. In practice its actually pretty tiring kneading until it is a smooth colour. It also leaks black colour so it's advisable to wear rubber gloves if you have any. Once mixed it is easy to apply although not particularly sticky. As it sets it sticks but it can be a little tricky getting it to stick in the first place. It's also fairly slow to set. Although solid in an hour it's really only becomes rock hard overnight. I also know for a fact that one of the rolls of gunk will go hard over extended time, making it impossible to mix, so you should aim to use it all in a few months if you can. You need to make sure that you properly seal the two bags with cable ties between uses, to get it to last as long as possible.It's useful but because of it's fairly limited life it turned out rather expensive for me. I can't think of anything else I would use in it's place, so I would buy it again. The only possible substitute is chemical mortar, which is a lot cheaper, a lot faster, but it can not be moulded like this stuff and chemical mortar would require an additional dye to achieve a colour other than "mortar". So recommended with reservations.

I've been a fan of Milliput for decades. I sculpt with it, repair household things etc. I've even temporarily repaired teeth with the white pack! As some reviewers have said, Milliput can be difficult to mix, especially if the pack was opened a while ago. So here are some mixing tips for when it does get stiff: 1. avoid any hard or darkened edges of the rolls -cut them off with a stanley knife and just use the softer inner part. 2. make equal sized balls of each part, and flatten each ball into a pancake shape. Squash the two pancakes together and tear the result in half. Put one half on top of the other, squash together, tear in half again, repeat. Eventually you can start rolling into a sausage and folding that as you can with a freshly opened pack. 3. If cutting the rolls, use different blades for each roll, or the epoxy will cure much quicker in the pack.

I have used this milliput epoxy putty to repair a hole in my vehicles bumper - the black colour matched almost perfectly. I also then decided to use it to mount a rear camera to my car - due to the fact the putty is mouldable i was able to produce a wedge with just the right angle to give the perfect rear cam view.The product is very easy to use, just slice off the required amount in identical portions from the two tubes of putty, need together for about 5 mins until one solid black colour, then apply to your surface. I found that by applying a small amount of water i was able to mould and shape the putty into my exact requirements.Excellent product!

Milliput is famous and reliable, I don’t need to review that. But I see that the sticks now come in sealed plastic wrap rather than plastic bags, which doesn’t really protect it once opened. So a small zip-lock sandwich bag is a good idea to keep it from drying out once open.I used this black milliput to repair a hole in a floor tile and lightened it using white acrylic paint when mixing, and though the colour match isn’t absolutely perfect, the surface finish certainly is - you just can’t feel the join. Wonderful stuff.

I had a broken house sign that I waned to try to repair -it had cracked and some areas had shattered so I couldn't glue it together properly. I took a chance on this product and it worked really well.
