i love these videos and the consistent musics

[@torinsworld3312]

WOW. I Love it. Nice. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@regent305]

This definitely going on my next order to try out for filling fine panel lines.

[@buckrogers7498]

This seems so much more user friendly than epoxy based putties.

love this product I use it on everything

[@MrSmokincodz]

I use so many wonderful product from Vallejo.

i use this stuff its great for gaps effects and textures

[@0206scr]

This putty is perfect for texture on the tank

[@sergiomartinmoreno5290]

Great video, I will test it on a 3D printed bust I have. Thanks for sharing!

[@Skull_Gun]

How did it turn out? I was planning on using it to hide some 3D print seams.

[@sergiomartinmoreno5290]

@@Skull_Gun I've not tested it yet, the pile of shame is too big, and this bust is by far not the next project, sorry 😅

[@davedogge2280]

this for me is as essential as say an X-Acto blade. You can shape it with plain water and then just let it dry (just smooth it with your finger when wet). It has saved my minis many times where I've had to pull apart a mini say because the brush would not reach a certain area and then I re-glue the part back on that there's a crack of a small dent in the connection point. My local shops stock them so I am good.

[@reforgedcriterion1471]

Saw this a couple days ago and picked some up. It's fantastic for removing really fine 3d printed lines in hard to reach places without destroying detail. This is going to up my game so much more than every other method I've tried (wood putty, spot putty, bondo, all the kinds of 2 part epoxies, baking soda and ca...) and it works better than really thick acrylic. Seems to shrink less thus far.

[@TheSilentW]

It works - but gaps like that are not closed after drying. You have to apply it a third or fourth time to make them disappear. Same with Liquid Green Stuff. That is why I prefer Magic Sculpt for tasks like that.

[@blueonblack83]

Yep, you need to apply it multiple times. The video is kind of misleading, in that it is not a one-and-done thing.

[@ekznamu]

I'am using this stuff too. Great to handle. But it has one disadvantage: it shrinks a little bit when drying.

[@tlw4237]

And it can also shrink when hit by primer or acrylic paint. It’s not the only filler that shrinks as it dries, most air-drying ones do to some extent. For big gaps I prefer to use fine grade (white) Milliput.

[@shovelfighter54]

Very nice looking stuff. being able to sand it in just an hour is really helpful. How long after you have applied can you airbrush on top of it?

[@vallejocolors]

It depends on if the plastic putty dries or it is still wet. When you notice it is dry you can continue painting

[@thomaspoling8839]

Thanks for sharing. Never thought of using a damp brush to apply putty. Like your gloves too. But how do you keep the tube open after use? Mine always closes up after use.

[@vallejocolors]

Hello Thomas! Have you tried inserting a needle into the cannula to get it out when you need it? Maybe this can help you in future ;)

[@thomaspoling8839]

@@vallejocolors thanks I've taken the top off and cleaned it out with pipe cleaner and water. Will try the needle. Enjoyed your video and have had success on an alpine figure and didn't have to do any sanding it bended in greatly. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@Moonsun6]

Very helpful! Might this work as a bonding agent for resin minis? I have a few that won't stay glued to their bases because the point of contact is so small.

[@tlw4237]

It has no bonding or adhesive ability. It’s essentially a thick acrylic paint that’s also prone to shrinkage. One of the superglues that contains rubber such as Loctite Power Flex might be worth trying, they resist shearing better than “normal” CAs.

[@Moonsun6]

@@tlw4237 Appreciate that! ♡

[@docgonzo3517]

fwiw I find the very high strength epoxy adhesives work well. I use 3.5 and 3.7 tonne per square inch polyamine types for knife-making and have used them on occasion for minis or small resin parts that wont hold with ECA or the like. Another thing worth considering if possible I find helps is pegging with small pins by drilling 1mm hole in base and model attachment points if shape allows for it, and using roughed up brass or springsteel wire in a slightly smaller diameter and glue the pins so there is a mechanical tie as well as a lot more surface area for the glue. Another thing maybe worth mentioning some release agents used are stubborn and waxy and need cleaning off resin parts to get a good bond. I tend to use water soluble types where I can when casting parts but not everywhere does and I find some are waxy and stubborn, being thin enough to not visibly see but they mess with glue adhesion. Apologies if that is obvious but worth mentioning in case hadn't thought of it.

[@davedogge2280]

no, it's not a bonding agent. If contact point is small, pinning it with staples and say some kind of stronger putty (say militput) on the underside to hold the metal staple you clipped is the best way. Get some good cutters to cut the metal staple and a manual mini hand drill handle with small drill bits to make the hole in the mini.

[@ItsAGunpla]

I'll order some now

[@vallejocolors]

Thank you :D

[@jesusvasquez6799]

What is that figure is that in the beginning of this Video it looks cool and where can I buy one ?

[@alexcutler4738]

Where would I be able to get my hands on the werewolf mini you are gap-filling early in the vid?

[@davedogge2280]

On MyMiniFactory look for 'Little Red Riding Hood and her new best friend!' OR on Etsy '3dForgeWorks' does one - look for 'Little Red Riding Hood and Her Not So Little Friend'. I believe that's the one, make sure to double check.

[@Daniel-nv3dg]

How hard should it be after a couple of hours after applying? In my case it was still quite soft. Definetely not plastic hard.

[@tlw4237]

I find it needs overnight to harden enough to sand the joint.

[@vallejocolors]

It depends on the humidity and temperature of the place the miniature is drying.

[@vallejocolors]

@@tlw4237 You can use it after 15-20mins of drying and then you can sand a little bit... but let it overnight before you are going to primer or paint.

I would love to use this product, but Australian hobby shops are always out of stock.

[@neon8647]

I'll try this next time. :-) For me it would be very interesting so see, how can I create Battledamages on the Millennium Falcon with your Putty. I mean the big scratches on the front and the big blaster marks at the bottom. I think, you know what I mean. :-) It's possible to make a HOW TO for that?

[@vallejocolors]

We take note of that for the next videos! ;)

Will it work with 3d prints like PLA or ABS?

@@vallejocolors Cool 😉 Now I can Ger rid of any hard to get gaps like a champ 😉 Time to order few of them 😉

[@thelittlestgiant]

Seems to be just as much work as Citadel’s “liquid green stuff” (which is way less work than actual putty epoxy which needs to be kneaded) but I’m guessing this brand is a lot cheaper in price. I’ll have to try it out!

I have this stuff but it won't stick to the plastic have it on a model now for 3 days and when I sand it all comes off

[@stevie65able]

Doesn't work very well on plastic seam lines. Better for joins on figures, which is what the putty was originally made for. Better off using super glue, sprue goo or Mr Surfacer 500 for fine seam lines.

[@stephandickens2504]

@@stevie65able strange on the tube it says fill in seams

[@stevie65able]

@@stephandickens2504 The biggest issue for me was the putty being too brittle, and not staying in shallow seam lines. From what I have read, this putty was made for filling in areas around join lines for figures. Anyway, I much prefer Mr Surfacer.

Should I cure with UV light or just over time?

Hello Kitsune Quest! No, you don't need UV light. Just let the plastic putty dry completely and you're done! :)

Is the dust after the product dries toxic to breath, or is it completely safe?

[@vallejocolors]

Hello Salt! Thanks for your comment! 👍🏻 We would like to take a moment to assure you that our products are entirely safe for use and do not contain any harmful substances or toxic metals. Our Plastic Putty is entirely risk-free and, to avoid any undesirable dust when sanding, it is best practice to wet the sanded surfaces since it is made from marble powder. In addition, we do, however, advise against smelling or swallowing pure pigments. Even when our paint does not contain toxic products, those who prefer to use Air ranges can use them in a well-ventilated area (mandatory for our HOBBY SPRAY) 😊 Please do not hesitate to reach out to us again if needed 😊✌🏻

The plastic putty is great, but that music is like chewing on tin foil.

[@markpr73]

Ok, here’s what you do. And this same technique works in almost all situations and is FAR EASIER than organizing other random people to call for something to be restricted or banned or outlawed………Just don’t listen. Turn off the sound, use captions, “change the channel”. But it doesn’t need to be removed from existence so that NO ONE can hear it just because it “offends” one person. In other words, try NOT thinking like a Republican.

Looks pretty good, too bad you didnt show us what it looks like after priming :(

has anyone tried this for layer lines and top surface lines on 3d PLA prints? although I'm technically looking for something more liquid and self-leveling - I haven't tried the surface primer yet, actually, I happen to have some left.
