📝 Easy Step-by-Step Usage Guide

  1. Cut equal portions from both components (white and grey).

    Pro Tip: Use a clean knife or scissors and work on a non-porous surface.

  2. Mix thoroughly for 2-3 minutes until the colour is completely uniform.

    Pro Tip: Wearing disposable gloves makes this process cleaner and easier.

  3. Apply to your model using modelling tools, wooden sticks, or slightly dampened fingers.

    Pro Tip: Moistening your tools with water helps prevent sticking and creates smoother surfaces.

  4. Shape and detail within the 1-hour working time window.

    Pro Tip: For very fine details, work after about 30 minutes when the putty becomes slightly firmer.

  5. Allow to cure for at least 3-4 hours before handling (24 hours for complete hardening).

    Pro Tip: Curing time may vary slightly based on temperature and humidity.

  6. Sand, cut, drill or paint the fully cured putty to achieve your desired finish.

    Pro Tip: Start with higher grit sandpaper (400+) as this putty sands very easily.

💡 Artist Tips & Techniques

  • Sculpting fine details: Let the putty partially cure (20-30 minutes) for easier detail work.
  • Perfect smooth surfaces: Dampen your finger or tool with water and gently smooth the surface.
  • Creating textures: Press materials like fine mesh, textured plastic, or even natural items into the soft putty.
  • Extended working time: Work in a cooler environment to gain more sculpting time before curing begins.
  • Putty economising: Only mix the amount you need for immediate use - unused putty components stay fresh in sealed packaging.
  • Perfect primer: This putty accepts all types of model paints without special preparation - a huge time saver!
