Oh Yeah! I guess the next "Bondex Girl" in his new movie would be named (PG Rated) "Filler Putty"

I too use the Squadron's white putty - drys abit quick though. And sometimes I use Testor's Red Putty - drys more slowly.
But no matter what...she's always putty in my hands! :-)

I'm using Squadron White Putty also and I have to agree with Ken that it dries too quick. I think I need a change...

Hi there!
I´ve heard about thinning the putty (like squadron etc), w/ acethone, does anybody out there have used it, and could explain me how it works, and to work w/ it?
Cheers!

Yes Paulo, I thin Squadrons putty with a drop or two of paint thinner. Mix it together makes it smoother and easier to work with.

Has anyone used Gunze Sangyo's Mr. Putty? I usually apply this liberally on a seam line and just scrape off the excess before it hardens.

Hey, all! For usual filling work I use Squadron Green. I generally don't try to thin it, but it can be softened/thinned with Testor's liquid glue. For scratchbuilding structures or sandbags and such, I use A+B Epoxy Putty and keep it (and my fingers!) moist with a little water.
