Putty Applicator

When I first pulled this applicator out of the box I thought When will I need this thing? It looked rather sophisticated so I continued to use toothpicks and #10 scalpel blades for shaping and smoothing putty jobs. Curiosity got the best of me and now I use it almost exclusively for applying putty. Easy to use in shaping and forming putty in and around seams, joints, and places which require a bit of patching. Easy to clean to, simply wipe off and move on with applying more putty or to put back until the next time. I recommend this putty applicator.

This tool is great for me. I was using coffee stirrers, my fingers, etc. This saves my skin. that tamiya putty does not come off easily. I am able to use the required amount of putty and I do not get it all over places that do not need it. Saves my a lot of clean up time. I will look for a more flexible one, but this one is great. A nice weight and feel. the knife end also scrapes. I would place this in a beginning modeler kit.

This tool works just great for applying putty. It feels nice and solid in the hand, and the edges of the tips are very defined, allowing the putty to be spread flush without marring the surface of the plastic. Dried putty residue is also easily scrapped off this tool. The body has a hexagon profile so it does not roll around.
