Handy tips
Do not use kerosene, turps or other material to aid in working the putty
Allow putty to skin before applying paint
Product can be applied by hand or with a putty knife. Add a few drops of linseed oil on the hands or knife to make for easier working
Putty can thicken in cold weather. Warming the putty by working it in the hands before the application will soften it.
Putty must be painted in exterior applications.
High humidity, cold weather and use in interior applications can extend skinning times.
Putty can separate on prolonged standing. If excessive oil is observed on the surface try to work the entire mixture together to redistribute the oil.
Before painting, clean and dust & filler particles using Selleys Sugar Soap or Selleys Super Kleen.
