I've not really had problems with it shrinking a large amount but I do usually overfill a bit and then rub it back as it sands very easily with, for example, a bit fine wet and dry (p400). If you need to use really big "gobs" of it then its best to build it up in a couple of applications and let it cure properly (say 24 hours) in between.<br /><br />Cheers, DaveDaveMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05707036473168150957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650770985225450559.post-35850454152513920182012-09-01T19:48:22.873-07:002012-09-01T19:48:22.873-07:00At least it's not a two-part thing like builde...At least it's not a two-part thing like builder's fill or Green Stuff.

I recall commenting to someone about the possibility of using Builders' Fill, and I'm beginning to think it might be worth the experiment. That stuff is reasonably easy to work with before it goes off, though that can happen within half a minute even with a very small amount of hardener. I'll have to look into the White Putty option.<br /><br />Mind you, my fridge has fairly hefty quantities of Yellow and Blue with which to make the Green Stuff epoxy. I guess I'll have to learn how to work it...<br /><br />Meanwhile, I've undercoated the vehicles, and will add on a few bits and pieces before beginning painting proper. Lost most of today owing to a migraine - my med didn't take. Turned out we had a Black Nor'wester - migraine weather. <br />Cheers,<br />IonArchduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650770985225450559.post-5258288702412271772012-08-31T17:56:06.747-07:002012-08-31T17:56:06.747-07:00I had a go at commenting the other day but Blogger...I had a go at commenting the other day but Blogger was having a hissy so I'll try again...<br /><br />Really ambitious project and impressive work on these. Further to your remarks on Green Stuff, I have never enjoyed using it and now use Mr White Putty for this type of job.

There's...I'm looking forward to that, too! There's just this - draws breath through teeth - bit in between now and then that we have to go through. To be honest, I don't much like modelling (you should hear the language that punctuates the process... m'mmm maybe not... At any rate, if I enjoyed it more, I'd do more of it). But sometimes I do like the end product. That makes the process (just) worthwhile. Having tried sheet plastic, I think I still prefer cardboard!Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650770985225450559.post-22211396594189609612012-08-31T14:10:14.085-07:002012-08-31T14:10:14.085-07:00Thanks Erntly...
