Preventing milliput from sticking to plastic?

[ChuckT]

I need to blend in a raised plastic ridge with milliput and be able to separate the milliput part from the plastic area to further refine its shape once it dries.

 

Does anyone know a way I can keep the milliput from sticking to the plastic?

 

Thanks in advance.

Clingfilm. Or thin parcel tape.

bare metal foil - you should be able to add it as a barrier layer and later just peel it off

Hi I have used Vaseline (Petroleum Jelly) as a reales agent with Milliput and had no issues…… But I would try it on a test mule first! I alway do even thought I know it works????

Was just going to say same................Ive had good luck coating plastic with Vaseline as a release agent for Milliput.

I might suggest silicone spray or parafilm M - you can stretch that stuff very thin, and I'm not aware of much that sticks to wax.

Thanks again everyone. I'll give your suggestions a try later tonight and report back.

I've used talcum powder with good success, but if you're trying to work with a tightly defined edge or area, I'd go the bare metal foil route.
