Quotewhat kind of ratio and mixing method do you use for your baby powder and super glue? Also, wet or dry sand it???  :lol:

It depends on what it is I'm filling. If it's a little thin gap, I make it thick enough to bridge and fill the gap. The way I mix mine is I dump out a small pile of baby powder on a piece of cardboard and add the super glue to it. Mixing it as I add until I'm happy with the mix. I have noticed if you have a higher powder ratio to glue, it will set up quicker. I use gel type super glue, it does not has to be a name brand to work. You will have to play around with the mix and you will see what works well for you. You might like it super thick or runny... :thumbsup:

Once it is set up and cured, you can sand wet or dry.

perfect plastic putty is pretty good, but getting the stuff out of the tube if it is an old one is damn hard..any suggestions?

A drill bit works wonders.

I just use the tip of the old scalpel I use to apply it with. I also clean the end up after use
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Don't forget to clean out the inside of the PPP lid.  Residue collects and hardens in the recess in the centre and then the lid won't seal properly.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

I get exactly the same problem with my Presto filler. I tend to scoop out the surplus from the screw down cap first every time I use the stuff.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model
