Squadron Putty

Post by Gauge »

Whats the difference between Squadrons White putty and Green putty? Besides the color of course?

White is finer & shrinks less. Generally the better of the two.

And yes, I'm holding back the usual 'Aves' rant.

Hi Gauge! How are you enjoying this fine Spring-like day in Alabamastan? Unlike Kylwell, I'm going to say it: forget the Squadron putty and get some Aves Apoxie Sculpt 2-part epoxy putty. It's so good, it's like warm apple pie. RC Hobbies in Huntsville carries it, but it's available by mail order from most good places like the SSM store here. The one-pound package is inexpensive and will last you a very long time. As an added bonus, the smell from Aves won't kill your brain cells :D

Or, if you like a quick drying solvent putty, head down to the auto parts store for some Bondo Glazing Putty. Not the two-part bondo, the Bondo Glazing putty in a tube. Cheaper and much better than the squadron putties.

Just don't eat it or, you know...
Sheer elegance in its simplicity.

Political unrest in dictatorships is rather like a round of rock-paper-scissors: The oposition goes on denouncing the regime on the papers, the regime censors the papers, rock-throwing ensues.
