Allow the blended area to cool down and become hard again Don’t forget to keep giving little pokes on the surface to know that you haven’t heated it too much. For this, you might want to start with a clean surface. Remove all kinds of dirt and especially oil, before trying to seal a leak and hole. This way, the epoxy will not slide off of the surface and will give you a better bond. Do epoxies expire? The bonding strength of the repaired surface determines how much impact it can withstand.
