FAQs
What materials can I use Plasto Bodyputty on?
Plasto Bodyputty is designed for use on plastic (polystyrene) and wooden models.
How long does it take for the putty to dry?
Drying time varies depending on the amount applied and the environmental conditions. Allow sufficient time for the putty to dry completely before sanding.
What type of sandpaper should I use?
Use fine-grade sandpaper for sanding the dried putty. This will help you achieve a smooth finish.

How should I store the Plasto Bodyputty?

What if the putty cracks after drying?
This can happen if you apply a thick layer. Apply the putty in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry completely.
Can I use this putty to fill large gaps?
Yes, but you may need to apply multiple layers, allowing each layer to dry and sanding between applications.
Troubleshooting
Putty is not adhering to the model.
Ensure the surface is clean and free of dust, grease, or paint. You may also want to lightly score the surface with sandpaper to provide a better grip for the putty.
Putty is shrinking after drying.
Apply the putty in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry completely before applying the next. For deep holes, multiple applications may be required.
Putty is too difficult to sand.
