LOCTITE Metal Magic Steel is a steel filled epoxy repair putty. It is just a steel filled kneadable Stick so there is no need to mix with other products:
kneading it, the putty begins a reaction and at the end becomes as hard as metal. In fact it adquires amazing properties:
high compressive strength,
chemical and corrosion resistance and
good adhesion to most surfaces.
So the Metal Magic Steel

Technical Tips to work with Epoxies
You can operate in a temperature range of -30°C to +121°C.Remember that working and cure time depend on temperature and mass:
- The higher the temperature, the faster the cure.
- The larger the mass of material, the faster the cure.
To speed the cure of epoxies at low temperatures:
- Store epoxy at room temperature.
- Pre-heat repair surface until warm to the touch.
To slow the cure of epoxies at high temperatures:
- Mix epoxy in small masses to prevent rapid curing.
- Cool putty down.
