Testor's Contour Putty
Posted by Tanker-Builder on Friday, May 17, 2024 10:21 AM

Hi! 

     Short tip here. Have you noticed the fact that This product has separated in the tube?, So, knead the tube carefully, and try not to crease the tube material but do this for about Ten passes. Then store in a light dim space(Like a drawer? )And most Importantly, store the stuff standing on it's top. It won't do the Separating anymore!

I've never heard of Testors contour putty.  Tell me more- is it still available?

Yes, it's still available. Hobby Lobby carries the stuff. Personally I don't use the stuff as I moved on to better products such as Squadron and Tamiya putties. 

 

F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!

U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!

N is for NO SURVIVORS...

Oh Yeah!

 It's quite common at Hobby Lobby. I do use Tamiya white and others but my last effort stuff has been this. It's easy to work and incredibly, I had two full tubes left in an unheated Garage. It got down to freezing three nights in a row. Then Warmed up and went the other way.

    This stuff actually survived! My Tamiya didn't. Do this though, make sure you knead the tubes occassionally, I don't care what brand, and keep it standing vertically top down. Then you'll be alright!
