UniBond 2002387 30 g Repair Express Epoxy Putty - White

After a picture fell off the wall and cracked the radiator pipe (literally you could try 1000 times and it wouldn't fall behind the radiator) I found myself in a panic with a cracked water pipe in the middle of Coronavirus lock down. No plumbers available and an expanding pool forming on my floor. Got some of this and applied. Leak fixed for now and hopefully will hold until the world it back to normal!! Thanks Unibond for saving my sanity.

Handy segmented pack but I actually found it rather difficult to get anything out of the packaging. The putty is not that easy to mix. It's fairly dry so it really does need to be mixed with your fingers rather than with a tool but tends to coat your fingers, leaving you in a bit of a mess when it comes to applying the putty. The putty is also fairly crumbly rather than smooth so it's not that easy to apply. It sets very fast ( a few minutes ) so you really don't get a lot of time to mess with it. Why, I wonder? I mean it's putty, surely it doesn't need to set so fast? It's not going anywhere.Anyway. It's no better or worse than any other epoxy putty I have used. It's not actually that easy to use, but it is handy to have it in a small segmented packet.

I've used this for several things since I discovered it. Never for anything decorative, so I've not had to try painting it for example, but it's very easy to mix - couple of minutes in your fingers - and it sticks and sets really well.I've just saved myself a few hundred pounds using this. Had a small leak from a radiator in the kitchen - an expensive 'designer' aluminium one which was about 5 years old. It shouldn't have leaked, but it was expensive to replace and the manufacturers were not very helpful in what could and couldn't be done with it. In the end, I bought some more of this, partially drained the radiator so it wasn't leaking and applied it over the leaking joint (over a blanking plug at the back). I let it set for 48 hours before letting water back into the radiator, and it's been fine since (2 weeks ago).I like the fact too that it comes in 6 separate compartments - each a useful size for round the house.

Our Kitchen door on the dishwasher pulled off and it damaged all the laminate and chipboard inside.I Used this to fill the holes in the door and waited 24hrs and it was amazing. We were able to re attach the door and it holds the screws really firmly attaching the kitchen door to the integral dish washer better than before!!Hard material so tiny pilot holes was needed to get screws in . Really really pleased as the kitchen door range was discontinued so we could not replace the door. We then used it to fill screw holes in an internal door frame that had worked loose and the door kept dropping. We re-fixed the hinge with screws 24hrs later and again screws bit in well and holding the door in place fab...Highly recommend this stuff for those sortd of jobsBit of a tip make sure you mix it quickly and even though apply press it into the gap without "dragging" the putty and its easy to use .. if you try and drag it across surfaces it feels crumbly ... if you just apply a tiny bit at a time pushing it in place and work outwards from that it's fab.

Easy enough to mix, but the resulting putty is more like a crumbly paste which is very dry yet still determined to stick to fingers. I was trying to use it to repair a cracked piece of a sink but the resulting compound is so stodgy that I was unable to properly use it as adhesive without the errant piece of sink sticking out of the rest of it. Had to resort to using superglue instead, using some of this paste as a filler for a couple of chipped out parts, and even that was difficult as the putty kept trying to pull out of the crack when I was trying to tidy it up.
