Use the spreader to mix the Putty and Hardener to a ratio of approx a 30mm (3cm) line of Hardener, to approx a 40mm (4cm) diameter ball of Putty (golf ball size). (This is a ratio of approximately 3-4% hardener to 96-97% Putty). Mix until you have a consistent colour. Try not to create air bubbles when mixing the two components. (Once mixed the Putty will start to harden within a few minutes so we advise you only make up an amount that can be applied within this workable timescale).
Prepare adhesive and activator (if applicable). Open the adhesive and, if relevant, the activator according to the manufacturer’s instructions.Whilst epoxy putties will bond to virtually any material, one which has been formulated for plastic repair will come with plastic running through it, offering a tailored repair. It will also cure to white, blending in seamlessly with your PVC soil pipe. Allow the Putty to fully cure/harden for approx 30 minutes at room temperature. It may take longer to cure in cooler temperatures or if the correct ratio of Putty to hardener is not exact.
Once the Putty is shaped, sand it with progressively finer grades of abrasive paper smoothing the Putty and feathering* the edges into the surrounding paint and bumper/trim. If you now have an area of bare (unprimed) plastic surrounding the repair, you will need to seal the surface to provide a secure foundation for the primer and top coat of paint. We recommend using the E-TECH Technik Plastic Pre-Primer Part No ER00110; follow the instructions on the can. You also get the putty epoxy adhesives, which require you to knead the two components together before application. Many of the epoxy putty products can be used as an adhesive but also as a filler. Removing the excess epoxy putty can be done by using a sharp blade. It is fair to say that a toilet waste pipe gets a lot of use and although PVC is one of the most resilient materials out there, even it can struggle to cope with what we flush away. When this happens to be the case, you might find yourself wondering how to carry out a soil pipe repair.Epoxy adhesives need to be mixed in a precise ratio, but many products come in pre-measured syringes which you can then use to apply. Some epoxy adhesives also come in the form of a two-part putty or paste, which you then have to knead together before application. Stay safe. Work in a well-ventilated, protected area. Wash your hands when you are finished, and optionally wear gloves for extra protection. Apply adhesive. Apply it sparingly to one surface and press the parts together immediately. Hold in place until the bond sets. Do not reposition parts. Whenever you are dealing with adhesives, you will need to match it with the material you are working on. Here are a few examples:
