DirtModeler Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I'm needing to make some adjustments to a resin piece, and want to find a good clay, like epoxy putty or something, and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations? I have to build up some small areas to add to some fenders on a small (1:64th scale) master. I'm looking for something strong and easily sandable so i can shape it once i build it up sufficiently. any help would be appreciated! thanks.

ScaleDale Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Third. There are several finishes of Milliput and white (superfine) is hardest to get. My LHS has standard grey and Amazon has the rest. It makes my crazy Pro Stock and Pro Mod builds hold together after sawing them to death.

Ben Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 When you say "clay" do you mean something you can apply and then remove? If so, then you'll want to use "floral clay". It doesn't leave a greasy film on your parts. It's kind of a "dry" clay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathgoblin Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I use a mix of Miliput white and Games Workshop's "green stuff". I found the Milliput didn't stick well and was too crumbly, but the green stuff was too flexible and wouldn't file or sand well. The mix is just right.

wisdonm Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Call me cheap, but I use plumber's epoxy putty that I get at home improvement and hardware stores. Big 4oz tube for about $5. Even used some left over JB Weld products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Kucaba Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 If you want cheap AND good use Magic-sculpt. 5 pounds $30.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I'm surprised no one's mentioned this yet...two-part automotive glazing putty or bondo adheres well to properly prepared resin (cleaned of mold release and sanded with 180 grit). It sands and shapes easily too. I'm using it on a Flintstone shell at the moment...works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
