Steel-Reinforced Epoxy Putty Twist Stick for Marine Repairs

This steel-reinforced epoxy putty twist stick is a versatile two-part repair compound designed for emergency and permanent metal repairs on board ships and offshore installations. The twist stick format eliminates the need for measuring and mixing, allowing crew members to quickly prepare a uniform epoxy paste that can be applied directly to damaged surfaces.

Formulated for the marine environment, this putty provides excellent resistance to seawater, oil, fuels, and many chemicals. It bonds aggressively to steel, aluminum, copper, bronze, and other common shipbuilding metals, making it ideal for repairing pipes, tanks, hulls, rudders, and deck equipment. It can be applied to damp surfaces and even used for underwater repairs, delivering a dependable seal when time is critical.

After curing, the material can be drilled, tapped, filed, sanded, and painted, allowing you to restore the component to service with minimal downtime. With a high compressive strength and temperature tolerance from -20°C to +150°C, this twist stick is an essential addition to any ship's repair locker.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you use a twist stick metal repair putty?

Cut off the required amount, knead with fingers until the color is uniform, then press into the repair area. The material hardens in about 30-40 minutes depending on temperature and reaches full strength after 24 hours.

Can this epoxy putty be used on wet surfaces or underwater?

Yes, it can be applied to damp or wet surfaces and used for emergency underwater repairs. However, the surface should be as clean and free of loose material as possible for maximum bond strength.

What surfaces does it bond to?

It bonds strongly to steel, aluminum, copper, bronze, and most other metals commonly found in marine environments. It is also compatible with many rigid plastics and composites.

How long does it take to cure fully?

At 25°C, the putty sets in 30-40 minutes and reaches full mechanical strength after 24 hours. Higher temperatures accelerate curing, while lower temperatures slow it down.
