what putty do you like?

working on a resin body that has some pin holes. What putty do you like to use for this as well as modifications. Evercoat?

Depends on the job, I guess. For spot stuff like small defects here and there, Mr. Surfacer 1200 brushed on in several thin coats before sanding. I've mixed it 50/50 with lacquer thinner and airbrushed it as a sandable primer and it fills OK but I'm not sure it's any better than Duplicator Sandable Primer.For building body mods I like Milliput two part epoxy putty. The extra fine white is what it's name indicates. Easy to work with and sets hard and still easy to sand and finish. I also use Tamiya White, Squadron and Bondo.

I looked at Evercoat and didn't care for the warnings on the container but that was for a styrene application.

thank you. Its small holes so im looking for a spot putty type thing.

For thin applications.....pinholes, small scratches,skim coats, minor defects etc. I use 2 part automotive spot filler (glazing compound). It sets up quickly, feathers well and is easy to sand.

The 2-part doesn't seem to have the same shrinkage issues that some of the one part fillers have.

For 90 % of my needs, I use superglue; either the thin stuff, or the thick stuff, depending on application.....'Z'

For pin holes you don't really have to go to all the trouble and waste of 2 part auto putty. Just one part will do fine ... and shrinkage is not an issue with such a small application.

I lime using evercoat part number 400 and Bondo. They are the two I personally use.

Tamiya white putty.

For little holes I use Mircoballons from top flite mixed with CA glue.

For fixing little pin holes (even fairly significant air voids too) in resin bodies, I've found gap-filling CA glue to work very well--and it adheres virtually perfectly to urethane resin).
