dashotgun Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 with careful prep and a good model I don't often need putty if I do I use mr liquid putty which is superb. Sometimes you need another feather in the quiver though Bondo shrinks and is a pain to work with to some degree. I have a spit ix on the shelf of doom somehow I screwed up the front magnetic panels and want to close up the front the gaps are horrendous the rest of the model is great I could lay down some sprue and liquid cement or putty it up. #m looks promising a 1.5 minute work time and 20 minute sanding time. it is a bit expensive at 17 dollars( free shipping though) and it is 14 oz which should last me into the next millineum. Waying my choices i want to see if anyone has used it. The shelf of doom project has been sitting since 2009 so it can wait a bit longer he that is a good topic for general how old is your oldest shelf of doom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLWP Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I've used stopper on models before - which is what that putty is described as. Offhand, I don't remember if it the 3M one It works! Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashotgun Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 Fwiw found the bondo and before that tried some mr liquid putty which was able to bridge the gap. I also found that mig ammo makes a small tube of acryl putty so choices. Fo now the plane goes back on the shelf but will work on it as the paint dries on the new active project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Bad thing about acrylic putty is that it's usually always water soluble. Even once it's dry, and water will take it away quicktime. Maybe MiG Ammo puts something special in theirs. Dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
