What is required
With Earl’s Powder Putty, you only need to mix enough for your immediate needs, so there is no waste.
Use it for interior or exterior
Earl’s Powder Putty is water and weather resistant when coated, but NOT waterproof. If using in an exterior situation, ensure base material is stable.
Earl’s Powder Putty is not a flexible compound and is unsuitable as a filler where there may be structural movement. It is advisable to coat after drying.
Applications
Easy to Apply
Prepare base material. Restore rotted wood with Earl’s Wood Hardener and remove loose mortar and any contaminants such as oil, flaking paint, dirt, dust or sealant. Mix to required consistency and apply with a putty knife.
Slightly overfill and leave for 30 minutes before scraping or to level or mould to required shape. For a smooth finish, wipe with a damp sponge and wait 2-3 hours to sand. Apply a primer before painting.
Note: Earl’s Powder Putty does not absorb stain or colour as readily as wood, so a few coats may be required. For a thicker putty, use less water. Do not apply too much water as it will break down and crack.
For further instructions, please refer to the product label.
What to use Earl’s Powder Putty for
Patching
Cut away decayed wood (or use Earl’s Wood Hardener) until only sound timber remains. Earl’s Powder Putty is easily moulded into the shape of the original timber and makes for the perfect repair if smoothed and painted.
Masonry Fillings
Earl’s Powder Putty is ideal for sealing around pipes as it won’t crack with temperature changes and vibration. For central heating pipes, no longer than 6 metres, wind plastic foil (e.g. polythene sheet) around pipe to allow movement through seal when heating up and cooling down.
Rotted Timber
Use Earl’s Powder Putty just like putty. Earl’s Powder Putty is more resistant to rain than putty and will never shrink, crack or fall out once applied. To remove Earl’s Powder Putty from broken glass, soften with a blow lamp. To repair rotten wood, use Earl’s Wood Hardener.
Timber Imperfections
Use Earl’s Powder Putty for filling nail holes and repairing knot holes, etc., on decks. Add colourant to the Earl’s Powder Putty to match. Fill holes not more than 5mm at a time. Fill and allow to dry.
