You need to ensure that your repair overfills the area by 2-3mm so that you do not sand away too much acrylic which could cause colour issues. When you apply the polythene use very light pressure to ensure that the solution doesn’t get pushed out of the damaged area. There is enough product to repair approximately 8-10 chips the size of a flat 5 pence piece with a depth of approximately 2 flat 5 pence pieces (i.e. 3-4mm).

The putty is supplied with instructions for use.
