Abstract: A container system for pasty compositions includes one or more cylindrical hollow bodies each having a removable base plate and a removable lid. In particular, the container system includes two containers, each separately holding one of the components for the production of a two-component putty. The ratio of the dimensions of the two containers in terms of their capacity or their volume is equal to the ratio by weight or by volume in which the two components are used. Further, a method produces a curable putty using this container system in which the components of the composition are almost totally removed from the containers and are intermixed to form a homogeneous substance, which is then processed.
