ALCOLIN MIX ‘N QUIKPLASTIK® Epoxy Putty Stick is a hand-mixable, fast-setting epoxy that forms a durable bond to most major plastic types. It can be used for moulding, wrapping, building, and repairing rigid or semi-flexible plastic. The stick contains pre-measured activator and base, making it easy to mix. It is resistant to water, chemicals, and temperature extremes, contains no solvents, VOCs, and is non-flammable.
General information :
- Strong – bonds with superior strength.
- Fast setting – hardens in 60 minutes for quick repairs
- UV resistant – will not yellow upon exposure to UV light.
- Extreme toughness – can be drilled, sawed, sanded, screwed, filed, carved, stained or painted.
- Long work time – for intricate moulding work.
- Waterproof – suitable for underwater applications and bonds to submerged substrates.
- Water smoothable – can be smoothed and formed with a wet finger.
- Easy to use – equal 1:1 ratio.
- 100% solids – will not shrink or pull away, no solvents.
- Heat resistant – can withstand up to 149°C.
- Safe and non-flammable – releases no noxious fumes or VOC’s on curing.

Adhesion
ALCOLIN MIX ‘N QUIKPLASTIK® bonds to most rigid and semi flexible plastics e.g. fibreglass, PVC, ABS, etc. Also bonds well to metals, wood, glass, ceramics, plaster, concrete, and brick.
Limitations
Does not bond to polyethylene, polypropylene or Teflon.
Not suitable where a flexible bond is required.
Not suitable for structural applications.
Safety instructions
ALCOLIN MIX ‘N QUIKPLASTIK® is non-toxic, however, it is advisable to wear gloves in order to avoid direct skin contact. Individuals with extra sensitive skin should maintain caution and wash hands with soap and water thoroughly after mixing the product, or wear thin plastic gloves. In the event of eye contact, rinse thoroughly and immediately with water. Seek medical assistance if irritation or discomfort persists. May be harmful if swallowed. Keep out of reach of children! Refer to our Safety Data Sheets for further toxicological information and comprehensive handling instructions.
Surface preparation
In order to achieve optimum adhesion, surfaces should be clean and free of grease and dirt.
Scuffing or sanding the surface prior to cleaning helps ensure a good bond.
Poor surface preparation may result in bond failure.
Directions for use
- Cut or twist off the required amount of product.
- Mix by kneading with fingers to a uniform colour. If mixing is difficult, warm ALCOLIN MIX ‘N QUIKPLASTIK® epoxy to room temperature or slightly above.
- Apply to the surface to be repaired within 10 minutes of mixing. Force into any cracks or holes to be filled and strike off excess material, preferably with a 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 best results: Use damp fingers for easier mixing and application. Remove excess material before hardening begins. For a smooth appearance of the cured compound, hand rub with water or a damp cloth prior to hardening.
- Curing: ALCOLIN MIX ‘N QUIKPLASTIK® has a work life of approximately 20 – 25 minutes. After 40 – 60 minutes, it will harden and form a tenacious bond. After 2-3 hours, ALCOLIN MIX ‘N QUIKPLASTIK® can be drilled, sawed, sanded, screwed, filed or painted.
- Cure rate is dependent upon the temperature of the air. The lower the temperature the longer it takes to cure.
Cleaning
Fresh uncured epoxy can be cleaned with acetone.
Cured epoxy has to be removed mechanically or heated above 149°C.
