"Greenstuff" ??

[Cato]

Anyone here familiar with this material? Appears to be a magic-type gap filler. Don't know if it comes out of a tube or is a two-part mix. I saw it elsewhere in a thread by a UK modeler so it may not be a domestic product. Seems like it molds and sands easily.

Any info appreciated.

Is this what you're asking about?

Thank you Blake and Skip. I searched both the links. I found that they are both made by a company called Polymeric Systems and are virtually the same.

They are used primarily by figure sculptors. Both are 2 part epoxies, and do not have good sanding properties. They are mostly to be applied to an armature and smoothed and carved to shape. Then they cure over time.

The modeler I saw was using it for the tubular joints of a chassis. It appears he mixes some together then smooths it around joints to simulate welds and hide joints that are not fish-mouthed. Don't think it is suitable for filling and sanding of the type we styrene modelers do.

Thanks for your help.

Greenstuff was also the name of a lacquer based spot putty used in the late 60's and maybe thru the 70's. It was made by R-M paints.
