I found some new putty at my LHS, AV acrylic plastic putty by Vallejo. Anyone tried this yet? I never knew they made putty, I thought they just had their paint line.

Thanks,

Matt

It's a bit like bathroom sealant. You can smooth it out with a wet finger but I find it does not really stick to the plastic and tends to crumble if you sand it. I find it useful for filling gaps in places that difficult to see or access. I can wipe off the excess with a damp cotton bud and clean off any surplus without damaging the plastic surfaces.

Thanks Antoni,

Just what I was looking for, how and were to use it. My Spanish is non existent so I am not able to read the directions. I can see where it would have some good uses though like filling gaps around canopies or in tight ares like wheel wells.
