Polyvance releases Tab Magic Molding Putty

Oct. 29, 2020
Tab Magic Molding Putty is a flexible, moldable rubber material designed to ease the repair and refinish of complex headlight tabs.
Polyvance announced Tab Magic Molding Putty, No. 6225. Tab Magic Molding Putty is a flexible, moldable rubber material that helps ease the repair and refinish of complex headlight tabs. Tab Magic helps the technician repair broken headlight tabs to OE quality, thus preventing the unnecessary disposal of today's expensive headlight assemblies.

Tab Magic Molding Putty is a non-toxic and highly temperature resistant two-component silicone rubber. Tab Magic Molding Putty is packaged in two individual containers, each with 50 g (1.75 oz) net weight for a total of 100 g of putty. Equal parts of the white and green components are mixed until a uniform green color is achieved. The mixed putty is then quickly pressed onto the cosmetic side of 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 the backside is welded. When the repair is finished, the flexible Tab Magic Molding Putty is peeled off to reveal a nearly finished tab that should require just minor work to finish. Although Tab Magic Molding Putty is not remoldable, it is reusable on the same type of headlight tab.

Polyvance has complete instructions for use and a video of the headlight tab repair process.
