Hi guys, I just purchased my first three Resin figures. I wonder once I remove the mold parts, how do I fill in any holes or uneven spots. What is best to use for this? Thanks, Danny

Hi Danny

Ca glue is the best "putty"

You can use also ca glue+ talc powder

For both resin and styrene, I use Bondo spot putty. The one part red stuff in the tube. It's simply the best modelling putty I've ever used, and it's dirt cheap at any auto parts store or Wal-Mart.

Is that the red Glaze and Spot Fill Putty? I checked Wal-Mart after PT this morning and though they had red Bondo, I do not belive it was the right one. Danny

Yes, the tube says "Bondo glazing and spot putty" It's the red stuff without the separate little tube of hardener.
It is item #907.
