PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

DSPIAE ยท Modelling Putty

MEP-01 Epoxy Modelling Putty โ€“ Skin 100g

Two-part putty that shapes like clay and cures hard enough to sand, drill and paint ๐Ÿ—ฟ

โญ Why modellers use it

โœ… Plenty of working time โ€“ around 90 minutes to sculpt, smooth and refine before it starts to set.
โœ… Very low shrinkage โ€“ what you shape is what you get once it has cured, with no sinking back into the gap.
โœ… Cures hard and workable โ€“ sand it, drill it, carve it and paint it like the plastic around it.
โœ… Sticks where you put it โ€“ bonds well to the model as it cures, so fills and additions stay put.
โœ… No special tools โ€“ cut, knead by hand and shape with your fingers or whatever sculpting tools you already own.

๐Ÿ”ง What it is

MEP-01 is a two-part epoxy putty made for model making. It comes as two separate bars, Part A and Part B. On their own they stay soft indefinitely. Cut off equal amounts, knead them together until the colour is completely even, and the putty begins a slow chemical cure.

While it is soft it behaves like a firm modelling clay: you can press it into a gap, build up a missing corner, or sculpt new detail from scratch. Once cured it is a solid, stable material that takes a sharp edge and a fine surface.

That makes it the right choice for the jobs that glue-type fillers cannot do โ€“ larger gaps, rebuilding lost shapes, and adding detail that was never on the kit. This is the Skin (peach) colour, a natural starting point for figures and organic shapes, and easy to see against grey or dark plastic.

๐ŸŽฏ Where it works best

๐Ÿ‘ Larger gaps and seams โ€“ anything too wide for a glue-type filler.
๐Ÿ‘ Rebuilding shapes โ€“ corners and edges lost to cutting, trimming or damage.
๐Ÿ‘ Sculpting detail โ€“ rivets, hoses, cables, cloth folds, fur, straps and other organic shapes.
๐Ÿ‘ Figures and miniatures โ€“ conversions, repositioned limbs, hair, and filling joins on multi-part figures.
๐Ÿ‘ Repairs โ€“ rebuilding a broken area so it can be sanded and re-scribed.

๐Ÿงค How to use it

1. Cut equal amounts from Part A and Part B. Only mix what you can use in the next hour or so.
2. Knead them together until the colour is completely even, with no streaks or marbling.
3. Press the putty firmly onto the model and shape it. You have around 90 minutes.
4. Leave it to cure. It is ready to sand after about 6 hours at room temperature.
5. Sand, carve or drill to the final shape, then prime and paint.

๐Ÿ’ก Tips for best results

๐Ÿ‘‰ Damp fingers and tools. A little water on your fingertips and sculpting tools stops the putty sticking to them and lets you smooth the surface.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Do the shaping while it is soft. Smoothing wet putty takes seconds. Sanding cured epoxy takes much longer. Get it as close to final shape as you can before it sets.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Mix thoroughly. Streaks mean unmixed putty, and unmixed putty stays soft. Keep kneading until the colour is uniform all the way through.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Key the surface. A quick scuff with sandpaper on smooth plastic gives the putty something to grip.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Use the firming stage. Partway through the working time the putty stiffens. That is the best moment for crisp edges and fine detail.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Keep A and B apart in storage. Do not let the two bars touch, cut them with a clean blade, and reseal the pack. Store it somewhere cool and dry.

โš ๏ธ Worth knowing before you buy

โ–ช๏ธ It is not a quick fix. Allow about 6 hours before sanding. If you need a seam filled and sanded in ten minutes, a gap-filling CA glue is the better tool.
โ–ช๏ธ It needs warmth to cure. In a cold shed or garage below about 10ยฐC the cure slows right down. Work and cure at normal room temperature.
โ–ช๏ธ The colour is a base, not a finish. The peach tone is helpful for figures and easy to see while you work, but it is not a match for any particular skin paint and is meant to be primed and painted.
โ–ช๏ธ Not ideal for hairline seams. A putty this firm is hard to work into a very fine seam. It is at its best on gaps you can actually press it into.
โ–ช๏ธ Protect your skin. Uncured epoxy can irritate skin and cause an allergic reaction with repeated contact. Wear disposable gloves when mixing and shaping, wash your hands afterwards, do not eat or drink while working, wear a dust mask when sanding, and keep it out of reach of children.
