Putty Query

[DapperAnarchist]

I'm running low on my ProCreate, and was wondering about what I should go for next. I could just buy more, but I want to try something new. How does Fine White Milliput compare? Or Silver-Grey? I have the Grey-Green, which works for blocking things out...

I've only used ProCreate, standard Milliput, Greenstuff and Brownstuff.  The Milliput is great for blocking out basic shapes, but I don't know how the Fine White compares - I'd be interested to find out.  Brownstuff is great for hard edged things as it files well and holds an edge.  And I prefer ProCreate to Greenstuff as it's less rubbery.

I don't think that helps you a huge amount, but I figured it was worth posting my opinions - if only to stimulate some discussion...

i can say the same about standart Milliput, Greenstuff and Brownstuff. but i have never tried ProCreate.
normaly i prefer magic sculp, which has a little bit more finer granularity than standart Milliput.

i worked only one time with Fine White Milliput. it was a little bit strange. both components have the same colour and you can`t say when you have mixed it properly. but after 5 minutes of kneading, it was really workable. it felt a bit smoother and softer than the others. a little bit too soft in my opinion.

i hope this helps a bit.

I have only used GS (years ago) and Fine White milliput more recently- mixing is tricky, there is a slight colour difference, but you do need to give it a good mix/knead to make sure.

I have been able to roll it into very thin sheets between greaesproof paper, but obviously the required curing time means that it can be difficult to play around with. Sticking a blob on and then sculpting is something I have yet to try.

My first experience with Pro Create wasn't good - I found it difficult to get it to adhere to a (washed & prepped) surface, and it appeared to be much less maleable to poking and prodding than either GS or Milliput - I used a 50/50 mix, so I guess I should go lighter on the curing agent.

Note: Your experience may differ greatly from the above, this post must be read in light of my poor sculpting ability...
