Putty Basic Type

I use this putty when filling gaps. Its pretty strong once it has time to cure and that depends on how much you use. I always let it sit over night before messing with it. I have had large gaps shrink quite a bit requiring reapplication and set time. Use a good primer and coat it more than once to get a good finish. TIP: I use q-tips dipped in lacquer thinner to smooth out the edges of the a area to reduce sanding.

I used to swear by Squadron green putty - until the last tube I bought, and I couldn't get rid of the pinholes, even after several applications! After buying a tube of this stuff, no more pinhole problems, finer grain, sticks well to plastic, wet sands easily (I never dry-sand on plastic). Caution: Will probably mar the plastic finish if you get it where you don't want it, but that's what makes it stick so well.

This putty is real easy to apply and after drying, easy to shave and sand.
