hi guys. i have a prob here.

i was puttying a hollow part under my SD Core Booster
and then it became like squishy and "lembut2".

i dnt knw how to explain it. sad.gif
is the putty destroying the plastic? as the plastic is quite thin.

or is it because of something?

i just want to know, as my core booster has become scrap now.
if u guys any advice on using putty in the future,
i would be glad.

just dont want to repeat the same mistake over again.
thanks in advance.

Other than the color, no. We have black and red primers too.  nod.gif
Tamiya Basic Putty has an adequate amount of thinner in it. So when it dries, the thinner transfers over to the plastic, making it soft. Basic Putty is used to fill very small holes and seamlines, not really suitable for large surface fills or sculpts. Best for you to use Tamiya Epoxy Putty.  wink.gif

just want to know, is there any alternative to
the already expensive mr hobby topcoat series?

and do flat coat really can cover light scratches like
from a 1000 grit sandpaper.
