Once catalysed with a separate peroxide-based hardener, the mix gels to a cheese-like consistency that can be cut, shaped or pared, then cures hard. Changing the amount of hardener lets you speed up or slow down the set to suit the job and the weather. Turbo describes it as having minimal shrinkage, good stress resistance and flexibility, water resistance and rust-inhibiting properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere to use it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndoors: repairing holes, cracks and damaged areas in fibreglass, wood, stone and concrete, and filling larger voids where a standard filler would sag or shrink.\u003cbr\u003eOutdoors: rusted-out panels, dents and holes in metal, vehicle bodywork and similar repairs, plus cracked or broken concrete, masonry and aluminium items exposed to weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable materials include steel and other metals, aluminium, fibreglass, wood, stone, concrete and masonry. It can be used instead of, or underneath, regular plastic body filler.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStart with a clean, dry, sound surface, free of loose rust, paint, oil, grease and dust, and roughen smooth surfaces for a better key. Work out how much filler you need and mix it with the hardener following the directions on the can, stirring until the colour is completely uniform. Because cure speed depends on temperature and the amount of hardener, try a small batch first. Press the mix firmly into the repair, building up and shaping it while it is still soft. Once it has gelled you can trim it, then sand, file, drill, machine and paint it after it has cured hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a two part system and will not cure without the hardener, so check the hardener is on hand before you start. More hardener or warmer conditions will shorten the working time, and less hardener will lengthen it. Full cure is typically within about 30 to 60 minutes, and the repair can be painted within the hour, though times vary with temperature and mix. The cured filler is paintable but not stainable. For large structural repairs on metal, make sure the underlying area is sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTurbo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMetal Builders Bog (metallised repairer)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500ml can\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnsaturated polyester resin filler with aluminium and glass fibre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand applied after mixing with hardener\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSet and cure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGels to a cheese-like consistency, full cure typically about 30 to 60 minutes (varies with hardener and temperature)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaintable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes, within the hour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSandable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShrink resistant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUV resistant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInterior and exterior\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafety\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeep away from heat, sparks, open flames and hot surfaces, and do not smoke.
