How Do You Use Underwater Putty?

Published in Underwater Repair 2 mins read

You use underwater putty by mixing a 1-to-1 ratio, molding it in your hands, and applying it directly to the leak or crack area. This specialized putty is designed to harden and stop leaks even when applied underwater.

Understanding Underwater Putty Application

Underwater putty is a simple yet effective solution for repairing leaks and cracks in wet or submerged environments. Unlike standard sealants, it's specifically formulated to cure in the presence of water.

Simple Steps for Application

Using underwater putty is straightforward and requires minimal preparation beyond handling the putty itself. The process involves just a few key steps:

  1. Mix the Putty: You must mix 1-to-1 the components of the putty. Typically, this involves taking equal parts of two different substances.
  2. Mold in Hands: Once mixed, mold putty in your hands until it reaches a uniform color and consistency. This activates the curing process.
  3. Apply to Area: Immediately apply to the area where leak or crack is located. Press the putty firmly into and over the damaged spot.

What Underwater Putty Does

Once applied, the putty begins to work quickly:

  • It STOPS LEAKS & FILLS CRACKS.
  • It will harden underwater where it will cure/harden.
  • It will not shrink or sag after application.

This allows for effective, long-lasting repairs without needing to drain the water from the structure or object being repaired.
