Putty question

A large tube, 4.5 oz. (127.5 g), of Bondo Glazing & Spot Putty, No. 907, can be found at the auto stores.  It works really well. To ‘sand' the dried putty, I use fingernail polish remover that contains acetone and a rag or swab.

1 quart can of acetone at Walmart for about $5.

Keep this stuff tightly sealed. It will quickly evaporate.

Hi Durr... the modeling putty and the Bondo glazing putty are the same stuff except you get a lot more for your money because Bondo isn't listed for our plastic hobby.  I've used both and prefer to save my cash to buy more models.  And fingernail polish, with a bit of acetone, easily wipes the excess off.  Oh, one more difference is the Bondo is a rustic red color.  Other then the cost and the color, they are the same.

EDIT- It's easier to find the Bondo.  Just look for it at the nearest auto store.

I'm fairly sure that Bondo red spot glazing putty is the same stuff as Dr Microtools red putty.  The differences are the size of the package and the price.

I don't think I paid more than 2 bucks for a tube of Bondo a few years back.   IIRC,  the tube of Dr Microtools was 5 bucks and was half the size of the Bondo.

Don't pay more for a model manufacturer's logo!

I have seen at the store these two kind of putty, Testors and Italeri. How good are they?
