What can I use instead of green stuff?

Two of the most commonly used alternatives that are both relatively cheap and very effective, however, are Milliput and Magic Sculpt. Milliput is a brand name for a range of epoxy putties. They come in a number of different grades that differ according the fineness of the mix.

Can you use Milliput instead of green stuff?

Milliput is something I’d use for bulk rather than details. Milliput is also much harder and more frissile once cured. Green stuff doesn’t hold an edge as well as harder putties, but its elasticity offers a great deal of resilience.

How do you keep green stuff from sticking?

+ I have found that using a thin layer of vaseline on your fingers lets you smooth down both large and small areas on models. It also helps keep you from getting fingerprints on the green stuff when working with it. + I use chapstick on my fingers and tools when working with greenstuff to keep it from sticking.

How do you make green stuff dry faster?

Curing Speed The speed that green stuff cures at is affected by temperature. The warmer it is the faster it will cure. Cooling it down will slow curing time but the putty becomes stiffer the colder it gets, so it doesn’t balance out.

What’s the difference between Green Stuff and brown stuff?

Brown Stuff is similar to Green Stuff but sets slightly harder and remains malleable. Bown Stuff has a thicker consistency so it is a little easier to work with for beginners. Brown Stuff can be mixed with other putties to vary the carving and working texture and also the final hardness.

How durable is Green Stuff?

Subject: Greenstuff, how strong is it? It’s quite strong but not very rigid. If you make a long thread of it, it shouldn’t break, but it’ll bend easily, so if it’s not supporting any weight and is just hanging vertically, it should be fine.

Does green stuff need glue?

Subject: Green Stuff as an adhesive. Best way for GS + superglue is to drill a small hole in one part, put a small ball of GS in it (make sure the GS is NOT wet and sticks out the hole a bit), put superglue on it, and press the two parts together. Works best if you’ve dry-fitted already.

Does green stuff Harden?

The working life of Green Stuff varies depending on how you store it, mix it, and work it, but the manufacturer PSI suggest a mixed ‘work life’ of between 1 1/2 to 2 hrs, with a cure time of around 4 to 5 hours reaching ‘ultimate hardness’ from 20 to 24 hours after mixing.

Does green stuff need to be primed?

Subject: Can you paint directly onto green stuff? Yeah, decent quality acrylic paint doesn’t really need a primer for painting onto most surfaces. But if you’re painting a mixed-material miniature, some form of solid base coat is necessary for best results.
