Mr Hobby : Mr.Surfacer Modeling Filler 500, 1000 & 1200 Grade : Product Review / Tutorial

[@leeboyd1128]

I've been away from model building for decades. A lot of things have changed as far as products. Your channe is a great resource. Thank you.

[@genessismodels]

Thank you very much!

[@timdodd3897]

Just what my old P-38 model needs. I'll order some of I can't find some. My kit had a horrible fit. Building it for a 100 yr old WW2 vet. He worked on P-38s.

You’re correct, those jars get really messy. Last night I walked into my hobby room and 2 bottles of Mr Surfacer were smearing each other and the workbench! How dare they? I scolded them then I wiped the rim of the jars with a paper towel , just as I did the last time I used them. So just keep an eye on those jars and don’t be afraid to yell at them for making a mess of themselves. Good luck!

[@kendellmerritt7557]

Just ordered some today, thanks for the video!!

[@genessismodels]

Hope you enjoy it!

I have a quick question to the Mr. Surfacer experts out there; I have never used this product, but I did get a bottle of Mr. Surfacer 1000 and I would like to use it eventually. Am I to think that this is only to be applied by brush, or do people shoot this with an airbrush as well? Albeit thinned with lacquer thinner or acetone? From the video, I see it can be hard on paintbrushes so I can only think it would be rough on airbrushes too.

[@genessismodels]

Yeah it can be sprayed via an airbrush mate, turns out to be a great primer

[@gordongriffith9047]

I have mr surfacer black 1500 can I use it with handbrush and what kind of thinner do I need to use

[@genessismodels]

Cellulose thinners is what I use but any lacquer thiners will do

[@SodaAnt7]

What is cellulose thinner called in the U.S.?

[@JosephThomas-el3ze]

how many mr surface filter are you suppose to yous?

[@quattobeast]

do you ever run these through airbrush - could you use the 1200 or 100 airbrushed?

[@genessismodels]

I have not personaly but you could

[@marccxxshammer6643]

Cool 👍. Thank you for showing

[@genessismodels]

No problem 👍

[@fpsi_tv]

Have you tried Mr. Dissolved Putty (Which is thicker than the Mr. Surfacer 500)?

[@genessismodels]

not tried this one "yet"

[@robchallis2423]

Great thank you

[@bebazenbebazenvu7627]

Can you help me with something ....i have sculpture made from (liquid plastic easyflo60)... but in the molding process ...sculpture got few gaps..holes....from air bubbles... i need to fill them with something and paint whole sculpture after that..... so i need to fill few gaps (big like 1 water drop each)...and then paint...so need to be paintable....i hope you understand my english is not so good....😅 was thinking to try with super glue...baking soda...but dont know if this paintable?

[@genessismodels]

super glue with backing soda will be paintable mate, a good primer would help as well

@@genessismodels thny for the reply

[@sergecolin3856]

I would be interested in a tutorial with surfacer but using aeorgraph... do you have one already published ?

[@genessismodels]

not at the moment but new videos are always coming

[@statoilbensin2190]

Thinn it with 60 thinner for the best result

[@nikoliesto9348]

Is there any difference between the different grades...ie could I get a hold of the 500 and dilute it to mimic the 1500? Or are the particles coarser in the 500 than the 1500? I hope I make sense...

[@orangelion03]

Yes, the 500 is coarser than 1000, etc. 500 will fill wider gaps and will build up thicker with subsequent applications. I have not noticed that 500 looks grainier affter sanding and you cant tell under a coat of primer. Stuff is great for sink marks.

[@robbeard6929]

Cellulose thinners melts plastic though.

[@genessismodels]

ye you do have to be carfull but also things have moved on since then, I like to use vellajo plastic putty alot now

[@johnreed9435]

Noice!!!!!!! This is a great tutorial

[@Deathcult82]

Gunze are top noch products..Be aware though.. Those primers/surfacers have very strong chemical smell...Just open the lid..Toxic halocaust haha ...Especialy when you airbrush them the respirator is mandatory...

[@genessismodels]

Thanks for sharing

[@woody3590]

[@lenningradrio6304]
