Tab Magic Molding Putty is a two-part moldable, flexible silicone rubber which is non-toxic and temperature resistant. Mix equal parts until a uniform green color is achieved, then quickly press onto the headlight tab where it needs to be welded. The rubber will cure in about 15 minutes and tightly support the fine details on the top of the headlight tab while you weld the backside with your Polyvance nitrogen plastic welder. When finished, peel off the flexible Tab Magic putty to reveal a nearly-finished tab that should just need minor work to finish. Although Tab Magic Molding Putty is not remoldable, it is reusable on the same type of headlight tab.

Many headlight tabs have complex features that are very difficult to restore. If the headlight tab is visible to the vehicle owner, it must be repaired and refinished to the original appearance. 6225 Tab Magic Molding Putty from Polyvance helps ease the refinish of these complex tabs by preventing the backside weld from blowing through and creating imperfections that would be difficult to refinish.

Instructions

Step 1

Pull out roughly equal amounts of the Part A and Part B putty from their jars.

Step 2

On a clean surface, make equal-sized "pancakes" of both parts. If one is too big, nip off the excess and put it back in the jar for use later on.

Step 3

Put the pancakes on top of one another in preparation for mixing.

Step 4

Mix the two sides by pressing and kneading them together by hand. You only have about two minutes to mix before the rubber starts to harden, so mix quickly but thoroughly.

Step 5

Knead and mix the two sides until a uniform green color is achieved with no streaks of white.

Step 6

Apply the mixed putty to the headlight tab in the area you want to repair. Press the putty firmly into the cavities and details of the tab.
