Title: Putty / Filler for foam models
Post by: gauravag on April 16, 2012, 11:20:02 AM
Guys,
Just wanted to know what Putty / filler you use on your foamies.

I have seen a lot of people abroad use Lightweight Spackle
Something like http://www.dap.com/product_details.aspx?product_id=61

Know of any good equivalent stuff, in India ?

Is that not PolyUrethane though ? Must be heavier than putty.
