Ultimately you'll have to end up experimenting with various putties and mixes to find the ones that work best for you. Mr Surfacer 1000 is the finest, then 500, then the dissolved putty.
You get a 5lb tub of resin AND hardener (10lbs total) for like $30. If you're going for sheer quantity, magic sculpt beats all the others hands down. Milliput is very similar to Aves and also Magic Sculpt. This would be my choice of sculpting medium if I was starting all over again! The epoxy becomes more claylike in consistency and is workable for up to four hours (depending upon when you mix the clay in), and it also becomes much more forgiving. You don't need to bake it as the clay and putty both have petrochemical long chain polymer molecules in them that play nicely together. I would keep the ratio fairly low like 10% -15% sculpey to 85% -90% putty. When first mixed, the putty is pliable and easily shaped. You can mix epoxy putty and polymer clay together. Milliput is a versatile manipulative two part epoxy putty which when mixed together sets rock hard. The Superfine White Milliput becomes too brittle when cured, almost like a soft plaster. I would stick with the standard grey/yellow Milliput. Milliput is difficult to use at our scale. If you want to store epoxy almost indefinitely, put them in their separate containers and store them in the freezer.
I use the smallest ziploc tupperware things. Store your epoxy components in seperate airtight containers. You're talking high end prices $15 and low end prices $8.įletch_Talon and OneBoot both bring up good points. Procreate is the most expensive, GS is in the middle, and Milliput is the least expensive. If you speed the process by applying heat the hardening time can be reduced to just a few minutes. Milliputs drying time depends on the temperature, but at room temp it is hard in 3 to 4 hours. It tends to be more forgiving and holds its shape easier than GS. The Milliput Standard Epoxy Putty is a very versatile model filler and sculpting putty. By wetting the Milliput with a finely woven. I prefer GS because that's what I started with, but a lot of new sculptors like the way procreate handles. Milliput Versatile 2-Part Epoxy Putty - 4oz (113g) When first mixed, the putty is pliable and easily shaped. These putties really excel at organic shapes and humanoid figures. Ideal for repairs to stone coloured garden ornaments. Not quite as good when filing or sanding, but still acceptable. Silver Grey Milliput TWO PART EPOXY PUTTY (113.4gm) Silver Grey is suitable for applications that do not involve extremely fine details. When mixed they are the consistency of warm saltwater taffy. a respirator with 3m filters on it, not just a cheapie dust mask. However, the dust from Milliput is toxic, so you will need a dust collection system and a good particulate filter mask i. When cured Milliput is rock hard and works great when being sanded or filed. It is water soluble so you can use a brush and water to smooth it out, but it will also develop a slip (just like clay). Milliput works VERY differently from GS or Procreate.
