1. What is Green Stuff Epoxy Putty used for?
Green Stuff is a two-part epoxy putty used for sculpting, modeling, gap filling, and repairing miniatures, models, and small DIY projects. Once mixed, it becomes a moldable, durable putty that hardens over time.
2. How do I use Green Stuff Epoxy Putty?
Cut the desired amount from the roll.
Knead the blue and yellow parts together until the colour is a uniform green.
Shape, sculpt, or apply the putty as needed.
Allow it to cure for 4–24 hours, depending on thickness and temperature.
3. How long does it take to harden?
Green Stuff typically begins to harden within 20–30 minutes and fully cures within 4–24 hours, depending on environmental conditions and the thickness of the applied putty.
4. Can I sand and paint over it?
Yes! Once fully cured, Green Stuff can be sanded, drilled, carved, and painted with acrylic or enamel paints.
5. Does Green Stuff stick to surfaces?
Yes, it adheres well to most materials, including plastic, metal, and resin. If necessary, use water or a lubricant (such as Vaseline) to reduce stickiness when sculpting.
6. Is Green Stuff waterproof?
Once cured, it becomes water-resistant and highly durable, making it suitable for various applications.
7. Can I mix Green Stuff with other putties?
Yes, you can mix it with other epoxy putties to alter its consistency, hardness, or working time.
8. What tools should I use for sculpting Green Stuff?
Common tools include sculpting knives, clay shapers, and hobby blades. Keeping tools slightly wet can help prevent sticking.
9. How should I store unused Green Stuff?
Store in an airtight container or wrap it in plastic wrap to prevent premature curing. Keeping it in a cool, dry place extends its shelf life.
10. Can I use Green Stuff for structural repairs?
While it is strong, Green Stuff is mainly designed for fine sculpting and modeling rather than heavy-duty repairs. For structural applications, consider a metal-reinforced epoxy putty.
