EVO-STIKHard & Fast Metal Epoxy Putty, Sets Steel Hard in 10 Minutes, Colour: Grey, 50g stick

Needed to do a few repairs to my railings, I can't weld but this worked perfectly. Repair and paint, job done.

We had a problem with the grill door on our caravan oven. They use round "rivnuts" in a thin sheet steel oven casing. The screws worked themselves loose on the grill door hinge. I went to tighten them up, but the screws just kept spinning. Round Rivnut is just spinning in the round hole, meaning the screws holding the hinge wouldn't tighten up. Potentially an "oven out" job to remove and replace the failed rivnuts. This meant disconnecting gas pipes etc - not a job I really wanted to do. Looked at a Rivnut puller, but potentially it was still an oven out job due to access. Done some research and settled on this metal putty from Evo Stick. You cut a strip off and mix it up. Its sort of dark and light grey as it comes, and the idea is you knead it until its all one colour. TOP TIP - the putty has a clear film around it, ensure you also remove this before you start kneading. I missed it, and it meant the putty had stringy parts inside it. Once mixed, I put a small amount on the back side of each of the rivnuts, gaining access with my finger through the square hole - photo 1. Prior to applying, I cleaned the area with IPA to remove any grease etc from the area. I squished as much of this stuff as I could over / around the back of these fixings, and left it to cure for a day. Upon my return, and a quick poke through the holes, I could feel it was rock hard. Re-inserted the 4 screws, managed to tighten them up meaning job done ! Stuff is great. Saved me a load of hassle. This was done back in September, door is still in place :) Worked form me and holds a worthy place in my toolbox. Cheers

Repaired holes in an alloy! It’s works!Be quick as it sets very very quickly!

mix it(50/50) before use. it has a short drying time, so put on the required surface. it hardens. takes upto 24 hrs to be really hard. and you can also sand it after that.

it may be "normal" for this product but without opening it, it went hard and could not be used.

ive used this stuff a few times,always works well and stays hard and stiff for a long time.

I've used this putty for a few years now and am very impressed. The best thing it worked on was my driveway gate. The hinge part of the post that supports the gate from the side and below was broken off. I haven't the ability to remove posts to fit new ones in so I thought about using this product. I first of all tied as firmly I could the hinge with some wire & then moulded this putty around it. I used a couple packs to get as much surface covered as possible. I then use paint special to metal & left it a couple of days before rehanging the gate. This was a couple of years ago & it's still solid

Great for repairing a broken catch on wrought iron gate. Just cut a little bit off and manipulated it. Dried quickly and has set firm, with no mess. Very happy with this item. Provides a tough, durable grey coloured material that can be painted.
