Working with Milliput?

I find that once it is mixed together and has warmed up with the heat from your hands it is easier to work with. I have used both the silver grey and the superfine white, and must say that the white is much better to work with.

Thanks guys.

Domi, I have the Silver-Grey stuff, and I did notice a bit of 'crust' on it. Thanks for the head's up on that.

Allan. I like your method of rolling into strands/twine. I'm going to try that too.

Much appreciated guys! What would I do without this forum...

Hey there, Murray.

I use the Super Fine Milliput and I use mainly Isopropyl alcohol to soften it up. Water is good too, as Dj said. I roll each of the A and B stuff into strands, twine them together like egg noodles, and then start kneading.

Hope this helps.

Which Milliput do you have? The one in a white box with red trimmings? If so, that's the 'normal' one and old Milliput can be hard to knead and work. The darker putty snake often gets a 'crust' that needs to be removed, as this darker material will not mix at all, nor cure, leaving you with soft 'spots' into the cured Milliput...

Water is a good 'solvent' for Milliput, but unfortunatelly, it's only working when the mixed product is a few minutes old, and will not work with any of the two components before mixing...

Great stuff can be made of Milliput..! Don;t give up on it..!
