Handy Tips
- Ensure the putty and hardener are mixed properly. Knead It will become warm as it is mixed, A good indication its mixed properly is when you have a uniform colour, and feel a mild heat radiating from the Knead It.
- To help determine when your Knead It has set, keep a small piece off to check- when it is hard, it indicates your job is done.
- Use Knead It Steel for applications on metal or fuel contact

- Cut off required amount. Replace disc on remaining portion. Wear gloves to avoid messing hands. To mix, knead with fingers to uniform colour. If mixing is difficult, warm to room temperature.
