Its smooth, malleable texture makes shaping and blending straightforward, and the waterproof, freeze-thaw stable cured resin stands up to outdoor, marine, and heavy-use environments. FIXIT is formulated for both professional and hobby applications, giving a long working window and predictable set and post-cure machinability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I prepare and mix Aves FIXIT for best results?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreparation is simple: clean and degrease surfaces, remove loose material, and wear nitrile gloves. Measure equal parts of Part A and Part B and knead until the colour is uniform; that indicates a proper mix and reliable curing. Maintain ambient temperatures recommended on the product label for consistent setting time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClean substrate of oil, dust, and oxidation for better adhesion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMix equal volumes of A and B; knead about 2 minutes until consistent colour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWork time is about 1–3 hours depending on temperature; full cure in 24 hours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials will FIXIT bond to and hold up on?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFIXIT bonds to a wide range of common materials, including metal, wood, ceramic, tile, masonry, fibreglass, and many plastics. Once fully cured it forms a dense, semi-gloss surface that resists chipping and abrasion, making it suitable for high-wear or outdoor uses. For plastics or oily metals, surface preparation improves adhesion and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdheres to metal, wood, ceramic, tile, masonry, and fibreglass.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWaterproof and freeze-thaw stable for exterior or marine repairs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCan be sanded, drilled, tapped, carved, or lathed after full cure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does FIXIT perform during and after curing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring working time the compound behaves like a putty—soft, malleable and easy to shape or tool. It self-hardens without baking into a rock-hard finish with no significant shrinkage or cracking. After 24 hours the cured material accepts sanding, drilling, and painting so you can finish repairs cleanly and integrate them aesthetically into the original surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1–2 hours of typical working time; toolable up to 3 hours in many conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSets hard in about 24 hours; no baking required; minimal shrinkage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePost-cure machinable for precise restoration and finishing work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I apply and finish repairs made with FIXIT?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter mixing, press FIXIT firmly into gaps or onto damaged areas, sculpt or stamp to shape, and smooth the surface with appropriate tools or wet-finger technique. Remove excess while still workable and allow full cure before aggressive finishing. Cleanup of tools and hands (while still uncured) is simple with water or Aves Finishing Solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePack and compress into voids to ensure full contact and bonding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmooth with tools, solvents, or water; trim after partial cure if needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSand, paint, or machine once fully cured for a clean finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for? Aves FIXIT is aimed at craftsmen, modelers, restorers, DIYers, marine technicians, and light-industrial users who need a reliable, multi-surface repair compound that’s easy to shape but finishes hard and durable. If you want a single two-part putty for patching, rebuilding, sealing, and sculpting across metal, wood, ceramic, and composite projects—especially where waterproof or outdoor performance matters—FIXIT provides a predictable, machinable result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: How long does Aves FIXIT take to fully cure?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: FIXIT typically becomes rock-hard in about 24 hours; working time is 1–3 hours depending on temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I paint or sand FIXIT after it cures?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes — once fully cured you can sand, drill, tap, or paint the repaired area for final finishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Aves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55296651460945,"sku":"B005JL2KSU","price":46.37,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1086\/5567\/3681\/files\/aves-fixit-front-tube-and-caps.jpg?v=1791944357","url":"https:\/\/craftiche.co.uk\/products\/aves-fixit-two-part-repair-compound-putty-2-part-a-b-waterproof-machinable","provider":"Craftiche","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
