Hardens VERY quickly so only put a thin layer each time
I needed some of this filler for a model Spitfire (what else?) and it worked very well indeed. I needed to fill the indent where there was an option for a stand underneath and one bit where the fueselage and lower wing didn't look quite right. I put too much on and because it sets as you apply it, was quickly left with a smal lump. I removed this with some P1000 grit silicon carbide paper and after the paint was applied it was as good as I could have hoped for.I also wanted the wheels up, but there was no option in the kit for this, so I simply glued the wheel and cover in place leaving a small hole where the assembly would hinge from in the wing. Again, filled and looked perfect.Altogether a great product when you like to modify or finish a plastic model.

Wonderful product
As a 3d printer/designer this is a must have product, I’ve sealed gaps and sanded down to the point of perfection.

Perfect filler
This was the first time for me buying and using this product. I must say I was pleasantly surprised to how good it is. I have been building models for many years now and having previously worked in the automotive repair trade I use to buy small fine-grade filler. This time I opted to buy this product. Using a small piece of plastic as a spatula to apply the filler, I also used it to churn the filler after I pumped some onto a piece of card. With some premixed filler products the oil within the product can come to the surface so a light churn of the filler once pushed out of the tube will help. It was easy to apply and once dry very easy to sand with fine grade paper (320 grit) followed by 1000 grit wet & dry for a smooth finish. The only down side to the product is that if using in the heat that we have been experiencing this summer, the filler will go off quickly. Bear that in mind if using for the first time and only use small amounts so not to have too much waste.

Really good model filler. Fills all types of plastic and metals.
Best filler I've tried yet. It hardens well and covers with both acrylics and enamels.

Hard to use on smaller models
I bought this to fill in some small gaps on warhammer models.The problem I found was that you needed to squeeze quite a lot out of the tube and mix it to get anywhere near the right mix.It also dried very quickly and went to an unworkable consistency that is similar to to paints that replicate mud for basing. Once it had gone like this it would crumble away when sanded, as much if not more than it would allow me to sand it flush with the model.I'd personally just flow plastic cement into gaps instead of using this, even though that comes with it's own set of issues - primarily damaging the plastic if it runs and needing multiple coats of paint to mask.Also it seems to have eaten into the coating on the plastic palette knife I was using, causing the plastic to peel away.

Great stuff in the tube, but large amount of waste created to to get to it.
Odd stuff to apply. Sometimes dry paste comes out, other times it's swamped with oil. The oily stuff is amazing to use, sets fast, really fine sanding is possible, good enough working time - recommend for that. Just needs to be better mixed in the tube so you get a consistent dose out of the nozzle. Will look for alternatives when it runs out, but happy to re- order if I don't have time to research this. If this stuff was a car it would be a bmw - great when it works, but doesn't do that every time.
