Hi guys
, im starting to use Milliput, and guess my first intent was not good, becouse the ball of milliput never cure it, How long time it takes to cure?

maybe i mix wrong the two parts, or maybe take to much time to cure the milliput ??

What do you thing?

BTW, im trying to copy the S-b-S from the Gordy´s Mickey Mantle

sorry to hear it
one of the reasons i switched from the white to yellow-grey was just that.. half-way through the tubes i'd lose track if i had two of the same component <_< where as the the yellow-grey is just that - no more mistakes

when i first get a pack, i open it up and leave the tubes out in the open to soak up the humidity, it makes them softer.. your mileage may vary

as for drying it will firm up to unworkable in roughly 45 min, dried on it's own (overnight/4-5 hours) it becomes cured but hard like dried mud, oven cured (15-20minutes)it gets very hard like stone..

I've gotten used to "glazing" my uncured pieces with saliva, it makes them a consistent grey color when baked. Where as, with out the "spit glaze" i'll get varying shades of a light olive color which is distracting.. wierd I know

Hi Edson

I use the white Milliput almost exclusively, but you have to be careful about getting the right mix. I've found that if you make 60% clear bag to 40% blue bag (can't think of a better way of describing it), it will cure under a 60w bulb in about 15 minutes, enough to start sanding or carving.

Hope this helps.

I'am using only superfine whire millipuit. And only one time I have had troubles with that putty. But i think the reason of any troubles with millipu is mixing. And sometimes temperature- for example, when is cold millipus is strange.. In winter sculpting in cold bus is impossible
