Commander Trask Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 As far as i am aware, GS drys harder/faster depenting on the ration quantity of the mix. More yellow adds elascicity to the mix so it stays pliable for longer, while more blue makes it harder. I do know that if you add a small quantity of poly-cement (plastic glue) you can spreat the GS more easily almost as if it were the same consistency as margerine or soft butter.

Volkainen Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 The ratio of blue/yellow makes a difference, however you can also set the piece under a light (even as low as 40 watts) to speed up the hardening.just be sure it doesnt burn or droop under the heat.

If you do add plastic glue to the putty be sure to mix it VERY well ( i didnt once and it cause bubbling real bad) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90960-greenstuff-query/#findComment-1045998 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just put a spot (a very small spot) on the sculpting tool and it lest is spread easily handy for smooth joins Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90960-greenstuff-query/#findComment-1046017 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were wrong. Blue makes it harder, blue is harder to begin with. -Legacy40k Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90960-greenstuff-query/#findComment-1046183 Share on other sites More sharing options...
