Can anyone out there tell me what this stuff is useful for as so far I really can not find any use for it. Well not as a putty anyway :unsure: :rolleyes:
Chris.
Damn, I just bought some! Haven't opened it yet so didn't know it was crap! Was about to try it on my Quad Tilt Rotor but think I'll order some Greenstuff instead.

its not bad to be honest, its ment for filling small gaps. Thorvic introduced me to it last year, not had a problem with it yet
Its a fine filler for seams and joints especially handy for hard to get to seams as the excess can be washed off with a wet Q-tip. Larger gaps or indents should use a conventional filler such as humbrol or green stuff.
Is it intended for small air bubbles in resin kits? I've heard some good things about it but yet to try - budget is blown for this month.
perfect use for it Lee
'tippex' is another useful filler for resin bubbles too :thumbsup:
Vallejo Putty is an acrylic paste with some fine material in it; it's basically the same stuff as Liquitex Modeling paste but in a far more convenient tube/applicator.
The putty/acrylic paste air dries to a hard finish -a little softer than styrene - so it's great for filling in gaps and pinholes. The clear version is often used for making realistic water and is stronger than the white version, which usually contains fine marble dust. Since it's an acrylic, they can be thinned, feathered or removed with water or alcohol. They can be sanded smooth, too.
May be able to use it in a couple spots on the QTR but will need to get some greenstuff or Miliput coz there are some big ole holes needin' fillin'!

I find it great stuff for thin gaps and seams, anything wider I use Humbrol or Revell
Vallejo's Putty is not for common use. No sanding or diluted, is only applied at the joints and remove excess with a spatula or a simple napkin and reducing its volume if the operation is repeated. I use and love that comes with the cannula, so there is no need to sand half model to solve the problems of the joints. :thumbsup:
