TreehuggerWhat putty do you use?
I suspect most people find the toxic Tamiya putty annoying to work with, if so, I can recommend the water based putty from Valeljo. To get 100% filling power, just top off the putty, and cut the excess off with a blade later, that way the putty won't sink in after it dried inside larger cavities.

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)I use the Revell putty for bigger cavities and AK acrylic putty for small gaps and just wipe off the excess with a wet Q-tip. Works pretty fine for me.
