doogie7046 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I like using the Tamiya brand putty. I also use automotive glazing putty with good results too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catd11rpusher Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I have a question, how do you use crazy glue and backing soda? do you mix it then put it on? I have never heard of that method Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
window Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 i've used tamiya putty, and the super glue/baking soda. You fill the gap with the glue first, then sprinkle the baking soda over it. it sets pretty quickly and very hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackinac359 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 On the super glue (CA glue) and baking soda - don't let the work cure for too long (meaning, weeks, months, years) as it becomes hard as glass and difficult to sand. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Kucaba Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Yeah, I'm still in awe over those that can get that mix to work. Another filler that I use is micro-balloons mixed into 30 minute epoxy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornpatch Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 3 M Bondo Professional Glazing Putty w/ catalyst Tamiya Putty Milliput both types standard grain and also superfine grain Will use Squardon white and or green for little jobs. All in all I do prefer the Bondo brand putty, but that's just my choice. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacobus Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 for very little cracks or hedge of 2 parts together [like the white freightliner] you can take thinner and from the sprue,s cut little pieces of plastic put it in a glas whit a lid on it closed and after 1 day you have a kind of pasta whit a brush you fil the line the thinner vaporis and the plastic is melt between the parts sanding etc it works [looks like a kind of welding] only for little work no big holes ore gaps jacobus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I usually fill the low spot in with baking powder, then apply a CA-type "superglue" over the top, but I only use that for deeper areas where I want a very solid base. I also try to leave the filled area just slightly lower than the surrounding area, then skim over it with a two-part body filler (Evercoat's Eurosoft is my choice), sand, then prime with a filler primer.
