Hardened Green Putty

[zuludog]

I have some old Squadron Green Putty that has gone fairly hard, so that it is very difficult to squeeze out of the tube


I thought I might try digging some out and stirring it into Mr Surfacer or Mr Dissolved Putty to make them just a bit thicker, so they're more like brush on fillers and less like brush on primers.


Any comments?

You can use acetone as well...

Just thin the green down with thinners.

Hi Geoff . as Ian rightly says , adding some cellulose thinners will soften it up/thin it , I did this with a tube of Humbrol filler that had gone a bit stiff . I cut the tube open and put it in an old Tamiya paint jar ,then added cellulose thinners till it was the right consistency . Its good for when you only need a tiny bit or a thin smear , cheers tony

thanks for the replies. that's the sort of thing I was thinking of. I have acetone, cellulose thinners, and several empty tins & small jars; I'm sure I can manage something
