IJmofix putty set
At a glance
- Polyester putty
- Suitable for small repairs
- Fast curing
Product description
The IJmofix putty set from De IJssel is suitable for minor damages in polyester, wood, aluminum or on pre-treated metals above the waterline. The 2-component polyester putty is white and is therefore very suitable for repairs to white (or light-coloured) polyester substrates. This fast setting polyester putty has a lower degree of shrinkage. In addition, IJmofix is easy to sand after 30 minutes.
Benefits of the IJmofix putty set
- Specially developed for repairs of white (or light coloured) polyester substrates.
- Can be painted directly with DD paint.
- Low shrinkage and fast curing.
- Excellent adhesion to polyester surfaces.
- Perfectly sandable after 30 minutes.
Directions for use
Be sure to clean, degrease and sand the surface well before starting filling with IJmofix. Weigh the desired amount of IJmofix (base) and then mix it very thoroughly according to the correct mixing ratio (100 parts by weight of base, 2 parts by weight of hardener) with the hardener. Only prepare a quantity that can be applied within the processing time. Then apply the polyester putty as desired with a putty knife and smooth the surface as tightly as possible. After 60 minutes (at 20°C), you can apply another coat of IJmofix or Double Coat, after sanding the first coat with 120 to 180 grit sandpaper.

The recommended layer thickness is the thickness at which you apply each coat of paint, coating or resin. It is usually given in micrometres (µm) or millimetres (mm).
- Wet film thickness: the thickness immediately after application.
- Dry film thickness: the thickness after drying or curing.
For a coating with 60% solids by volume, a wet film of 100 µm will theoretically produce a dry film of approximately 60 µm. Film thickness affects coverage, protection and drying. Always check whether the manufacturer specifies wet or dry film thickness.

Density describes the mass of a material per unit volume. Values may be given in g/cm³, kg/L or kg/m³; 1 g/cm³ equals 1 kg/L. For example, one litre of a liquid with a density of 1.2 kg/L weighs approximately 1.2 kg. Density helps convert between weight and volume, but it can vary with temperature.
- Approximately 2 kg/L
-
Mixing ratio indicates how much of each component is needed, for example resin (A) and hardener (B). A ratio of 100:50 by weight means 100 grams of A to 50 grams of B; by volume you might use millilitres. Weight and volume ratios are not necessarily the same because the components may have different densities. Accurate measuring is important for proper curing.
- 100:2 (by weight)
-
The overcoating interval tells you when the next layer of paint, varnish or coating may be applied. Many multi-coat systems specify both a minimum and a maximum interval:
- Minimum overcoating time: the previous layer is dry or cured enough to accept another coat.
- Maximum overcoating time: the period during which the next coat can bond without extra surface preparation under the stated conditions.
Overcoating too early can affect drying or the finish. Once the maximum interval has passed, cleaning and sanding may be needed to ensure adhesion between coats. Temperature and film thickness affect the waiting times.
- 1 hour
-
The waiting time before an applied layer is dry or hard enough to sand without smearing or damage. Sanding too early can also clog the abrasive quickly. Layer thickness and temperature affect this time.
- 30 minutes
-
A paint or varnish layer is dust-dry when settling dust is less likely to stick to the surface. It may not yet be touch-dry, ready for overcoating or suitable for loading; these are different stages of drying and curing.
- 10 minutes
-
Hardener type indicates which component or substance is needed to cure a resin, adhesive or coating. The mechanism varies with the chemical system:
- Epoxy: usually a specific compatible hardener (component B), mixed with the resin at the stated ratio.
- Polyester and vinyl ester: often an MEKP initiator that starts the curing reaction. Dosage is normally given as a percentage.
- Two-component polyurethane: uses a compatible second component, often based on isocyanates, as specified for the system.
Hardeners are not interchangeable. Use only the combination, dosage and safety precautions stated by the manufacturer.
