Is Sprue Goo Better than Green Stuff for Filling Model Gaps?

- I've got gaps, and they need filling, but is it worth the extra effort to use sprue goo instead of green stuff? I'm not so sure...

Thank you to everyone who has left a comment (or will) on how I could have made/utilized Sprue Goo to better effect. I love how helpful this community can be. Clearly I have some work ahead of me, and I think I owe it to Sprue Goo to give it another chance (or 3).
Others have already said what i came her to say, when you dry fit the model and you see a gap, use sprue goo to stick those bits together. Much easier time of it.
I think, however, post assembly green stuff is better
Great video sir.
Imo, there wasn't enough acetone in your goo. I don't have as rough a time applying or spreading it with the tamiya mix I use.
I also don't think you explored the largest pro, that you can use it as an adhesive to gapfill as you assemble the model. I could see it being difficult with the consistency you ended up with, but more solvent should make it convenient to paint on.
Thank you for the advice. I'll have to tweak my process and see how it improves things.

My best trick for gaps is to use sprue shaving on top of plastic glue in the gaps and form it with the knife.
That sounds way better than my just "glob it all on" method. I'll definitely have to give that a try.
I tend to use a bit of glue on gaps and file it, filling the gap with the small plastic bits that the file takes off. Works pretty well but not on every surface. As others said, you definitely needed to thin it down more!
Clearly I needed to do a few practice rounds! I really appreciate the advice you and everyone else are providing.
@@TableTopAckley No worries, thin enough sprue goo can be used throughout the entire assembly. Pete The Wargamer used this in his recent Soulgrinder video.
If you mix GS with Milliput it will get so much smother to work with
What if the sprue goo was applied when the pieces are put together and the seam cleaned up at that time?
I'm picking a model to test this on already. Based on yours and the other comments already made, I owe sprue goo another chance.
Try using more acetone/glue.
2:54 Wait for 24 hours but in some cases ok in a hour :P WTF
Your sprue glue was too thick. More acetone to sprue ratio.
