Longbox55 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I've been using Bondo Glazing Putty in the tube, not the red stuff that takes forever to set up. It mixes the same as regular Bondo, but had a much finer consistancy. It also sticks well to plastic and I've had little to no problems with ghosting. I get it at from Auto Zone, but sometimes WalMart has it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielG Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Bondo, milliput, JB-Weld, melted sprue in liquid glue, CA, they all have their uses depending on what you are trying to achieve. I'm sure there are more favourites out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diymirage Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 i use bondo glazing putty in a tube, the red stuff that dries in about 30 minutes i think i pay about 5-7 bucks per tube the only two issues ive found with this is that if you put it on to thick it will crack (which a thinner second coat wil hide) and it suck in the paint so it can be a hair tricky getting it sealed in nicely so that you can lay an even top coat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longbox55 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Yes, that's the stuff. It's worked well for me. I also use 3M Acryl Green from time to time, but don't really care for the waiting time for it to set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbox55 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I've never used this myself, but I do know of some modellers that swear by Nitrostan putty. To be honest, I wasn't even sure if they still made it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Bondo 2-part "Professional" glazing putty. Cheap, available at any auto parts store, works great. What's not to like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
