Does Plasti-Bond cure without hardener? No — the resin will not cure or perform correctly without Selleys Plasti-Bond Hardener; no generic substitute works.\n2. What PPE is required? Nitrile gloves, safety glasses, overalls, safety shoes, and an organic vapour/particulate respirator compliant with AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS 1716.\n3. What are the main hazards? Classified Dangerous Goods Class 3 (Flammable Liquid), skin and eye irritant, skin sensitiser, suspected reproductive toxicant, and organ damage through repeated exposure — signal word: Danger.\n\n---\n\n## Product overview\n\nSelleys Plasti-Bond Heavy Duty Bog Resin is a two-pack polyester putty built to fill holes and cracks in building materials — and built to last. Made by Selleys, a division of DuluxGroup Australia Pty Ltd, it delivers high-strength, durable repairs that trade professionals and capable DIYers can rely on. Supplied as a grey paste (Reference No: SELGHSEN000285, current version 3.1, issued April 2025), it works together with its dedicated Plasti-Bond Hardener. That pairing is non-negotiable — the resin will not cure or perform correctly on its own.\n\nGetting the best from this product means understanding its two-pack chemistry, its safety requirements, and the correct handling procedures. This guide covers all of that in plain, practical language.\n\n---\n\n## How a two-pack polyester putty works\n\nPlasti-Bond Heavy Duty Bog Resin belongs to a category of fillers known as two-pack or two-component systems. Ready-to-use fillers air-dry or cure through water evaporation. A two-pack polyester putty works differently — it cures through a chemical reaction triggered when the resin and hardener are combined.\n\nThat chemical cure produces a harder, denser, and more dimensionally stable result than any air-dry filler can deliver. Once cured, the filled area holds its shape: no shrinkage, no sag. Shrinkage is a common failure point for standard fillers, and for holes and cracks in structural or load-bearing building materials, that level of hardness and stability is exactly what the job demands.\n\nThe dedicated Plasti-Bond Hardener is the only hardener to use — not a generic substitute. It is formulated specifically to react with this resin at the correct rate and ratio. The wrong hardener risks an incomplete cure, producing a soft, weak fill that won't stand up over time.\n\n---\n\n## Intended applications\n\nPlasti-Bond Heavy Duty Bog Resin sits under Home & Garden > Adhesives & Fillers, with its primary purpose being the filling of holes and cracks in building materials.\n\nTypical surfaces and scenarios where this product delivers professional results:\n\n- Repairing holes and cracks in timber, MDF, and fibre cement sheeting\n- Filling damaged sections in doors, window frames, and structural timbers\n- Restoring rot-damaged or impact-damaged wood before repainting\n- Filling larger or deeper voids where a single-component filler would shrink or fall short\n\nThe \"heavy duty\" classification means it is engineered for repairs where a standard lightweight filler isn't up to the task — deep fills, repairs exposed to mechanical stress, or surfaces that need a hard, sandable base before painting.\n\n---\n\n## Mixing and application\n\nPlasti-Bond Bog Resin only activates when combined with its hardener. Getting the mix right is the most important step toward a successful, long-lasting repair.\n\n### Mixing ratio\n\nAlways follow the mixing ratio specified on the product packaging and the manufacturer's current technical data sheet. Polyester systems are precise by nature — too little hardener produces an under-cured, soft result; too much can cause the mix to cure too rapidly, generate excess heat, or produce a brittle fill.\n\n### Mixing method\n\n1. Dispense the required amount of resin onto a clean, non-porous mixing board — a piece of scrap laminate or glass works well.\n2. Add the hardener at the correct ratio.\n3. Mix thoroughly using a clean palette knife or mixing tool, working from the centre outward. Scrape the board and blade to ensure full incorporation. Incomplete mixing leaves uncured resin in the finished fill.\n4. Work efficiently — once mixed, pot life is limited and the clock is running. Warmer conditions shorten pot life; cooler conditions extend it.\n\n### Application\n\nPress the mixed putty firmly into the prepared surface using a filling knife or spreader. Work it into the void to push out any air pockets. Overfill slightly — the cured material sands back cleanly and flush. Do not apply to surfaces that are wet, oily, or contaminated; adhesion depends on a clean, dry substrate.\n\nOnce cured, the filled area sands, shapes, and paints with ease. The cured material is insoluble in water, so it won't soften or break down if exposed to moisture after curing.\n\n---\n\n## Safety information\n\nPlasti-Bond Heavy Duty Bog Resin carries a **Danger** signal word under Australian hazard classification — the highest signal word level, indicating serious potential hazards. Understanding and implementing the required safety measures is not optional.\n\n### Hazard classifications\n\n- **Dangerous Goods Class 3 — Flammable Liquid:** The resin contains flammable components. Keep it away from ignition sources, open flames, sparks, and heat during use and storage.\n- **Skin and eye irritant:** Direct contact with uncured resin causes irritation to skin and eyes.\n- **Skin sensitiser:** Repeated or prolonged skin contact can cause sensitisation — an allergic reaction that may develop with continued exposure. Once sensitised, even small amounts of contact can trigger a reaction.\n- **Suspected reproductive toxicant:** The product contains components suspected of causing harm to reproductive health, which is a particular consideration for people who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.\n- **Organ damage through repeated exposure:** Long-term or repeated exposure to the product's components can damage internal organs.\n\nThese classifications are based on the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) issued 29 April 2025, version 3.1.\n\n### Required personal protective equipment (PPE)\n\n| PPE item | Purpose |\n|---|---|\n| Nitrile gloves | Barrier protection against skin contact and sensitisation. Nitrile specifically — latex gloves are not appropriate. |\n| Safety glasses | Protection against splashes to the eyes during mixing and application. |\n| Overalls | Full-body coverage to prevent skin contact with resin during extended work. |\n| Safety shoes | Protection against spills, particularly relevant on worksites. |\n| Organic vapour/particulate respirator | Protection against inhalation of vapours and airborne particles during mixing, application, and sanding. |\n\n### Respirator standard\n\nThe respirator must comply with **AS/NZS 1715** (Selection, Use and Maintenance of Respiratory Protective Equipment) and **AS/NZS 1716** (Respiratory Protective Devices). These Australian/New Zealand standards define the minimum performance requirements for respiratory protection. A simple dust mask or paper face covering does not meet these standards and is not appropriate for use with this product.\n\n### Ventilation\n\nWork in a well-ventilated area. The product carries a characteristic odour from its volatile components, and enclosed spaces concentrate vapours — raising both the inhalation risk and the ignition risk. Open up the workspace before you start.\n\n### First aid (general guidance)\n\n- **Skin contact:** Remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected skin thoroughly with soap and water.\n- **Eye contact:** Flush immediately with clean water for several minutes. Seek medical attention.\n- **Inhalation:** Move to fresh air immediately. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.\n- **Ingestion:** Do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical attention.\n\nAlways refer to the current SDS for complete first aid instructions.\n\n---\n\n## Storage and disposal\n\n### Storage\n\nStore Plasti-Bond Heavy Duty Bog Resin in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and ignition sources. Its Class 3 Dangerous Goods classification means storage must comply with applicable Australian dangerous goods storage regulations. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use — this prevents premature skinning, contamination, and vapour release. Store away from incompatible materials (refer to the SDS for the full list) and keep out of reach of children.\n\n### Shelf life and container integrity\n\nDo not use product from damaged or compromised containers. If the resin has visibly separated, hardened, or changed in appearance, set it aside — altered resin will not mix or cure correctly, and the repair won't hold.\n\n### Disposal\n\nDispose of waste product, empty containers, and mixed-but-unused material in accordance with local council and state/territory regulations for flammable and hazardous waste. Do not pour liquid resin down drains or into the environment. Fully cured (hardened) material is generally considered inert and can be disposed of as solid waste — but confirm with your local authority to be sure.\n\n---\n\n## Practical tips\n\n**Surface preparation is everything.** Plasti-Bond Bog Resin bonds through mechanical adhesion to the substrate. Remove all loose material, dust, grease, and moisture from the repair area before applying anything. For timber, cut back to sound wood. For painted surfaces, abrade the area around the repair to give the resin something to grip.\n\n**Mix only what you can use.** Pot life is fixed once mixing begins — there's no extending it. Mix in small batches, especially in warm weather. This keeps waste down and keeps you in control of the application.\n\n**Temperature shapes the result.** Below approximately 10°C, cure slows significantly or may not complete. In very hot conditions, the mix can become unworkable within minutes. Work within the temperature range specified on the product's technical data sheet.\n\n**Sand in stages for a clean finish.** Start with a coarser abrasive to remove the bulk of the overfill, then step down to a finer grit to achieve a smooth, paint-ready surface. Sanding before the material is fully cured tears and drags rather than cutting cleanly — patience here pays off.\n\n**Do not thin the resin.** Adding solvents to adjust consistency disrupts the resin-to-hardener ratio and undermines the cure. If the product feels too stiff to work with, check that it is within its recommended temperature range and still within shelf life.\n\n**Label and date your containers.** If you store partially used product, note the date of opening. Tracking shelf life ensures you are always working with material that will perform as expected.\n\n---\n\n## References\n\n- [Selleys Plasti-Bond — Selleys Australia Official Product
