ChalkLine:
I've just had a right disaster with Milliput.

First off, it turned up looking quite odd. It had a gangrenous green crust on one of the sticks that I don't remember it having but the real trouble started when I tried to apply it to the model for some welds. It just wouldn't adhere to the model and moistening it turned it into a non-adhering slurry. The resulting job looks awful; out of scale, without any consistent shape and with varying consistency.

I'm thinking of going to Tamiya putty after this, I have better experiences with it. Does anyone have any Milliput advice?

Kerick:
Sounds like you got a bad batch. Or it was too old. Did it get stored in a place that was really hot or cold?

ChalkLine:
I don't know, it came to me a week ago from BNA. It's been a cold Australian winter.

Frank3k:
You can sometimes revive 2 part epoxy putties by heating them (a few seconds) in a microwave or an oven. Your mileage may vary.

I’d contact them about it. It might be a bad package or if it’s a storage problem they need to know about it so they can fix it. Either way they might send you a replacement.
