Description
[Wesco Enterprises] A two-part epoxy putty used for fine sculpting, and model making, and durable household repairs. Magic-Sculpt putties are based on a 50:50 mix ratio of an epoxy resin base (part A) and an amine catalyst/hardener (Part B). The uncured putties have a smooth, moldable consistency and all provide very strong adhesion to any type of substrate. Once the two-parts are completely mixed, there is about 1-3 hours working time for shaping the putty. The mixed product cures in 12 hours at room temperature without any shrinkage. After curing, Magic-Sculpt has a smooth texture and rock-hard finish that can be safely drilled, carved, sanded, and painted.
There are three types of Magic-Sculpt 2-part putties and pastes. All on based on the following materials:
Part A (Resin Component):
- Base Resin: Bisphenol-A/Epichlorohydrin epoxy resin
- Fillers: Talc (magnesium silicate hydrate) and blended silicates
Part B (Hardener Component):
- Curing Agent: Triethylenetetramine (TETA) or a structurally similar aliphatic polyamine catalyst that triggers exothermic cross-linking when mixed
- Modifying Agents: A blend of process oils to keep the hardener pliable and control the tackiness
- Fillers: The same kaolin and talc silicate base found in Part A to guarantee even dispensing and uniform density
| Magic-Sculpt | Magic-sculpt fast | Magic-Smooth | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary use | sculpting and major fabrication | Surface coatings, taxidermy, and foam coating | |
| Working time (after complete mixing) | 45-120 min | 6-10 minutes | 45-120 min |
