Awesome stuff. I've been using it for more than 30 years. So many uses depending on how you use it. Mix it thin, fill a blister pack half way - instant base!
Do you think you could make a box with this putty, if you used some metal mesh? And if you could make a box, would it be possible to make an acoustic guitar body you could attach a wooden neck to?
Not with this stuff, it seems that if its more on the thin side it would crack and brake apart easy. You prob would need some kind of fiberglass stuff over the mesh to make a hollow body. Stuff used on cars and boats maybe but i wouldn't really know much on how to do that for what your looking to make.
Ya i have seen some people do that, just takes a bit longer to cure since its all wet. I would pour some in and let that cure then next day pour in some more etc. Give it time to cure between batches. but that depends on how large the item is.
A side question. what do yo use to glue the magnets in your statues? the magnet in one of my quarter scale premium format statues came out, also what would it cost to do the painting for the savage land rogue statue?
Far as i know you can, doesn't heat up line resin, just that any deep areas that are not getting air to dry it up may stay semi soft. Seems like its more of a open area type of filler, but i need to test more.
Nah, most guys I know In the hobby from all these years said not to use cement. Plus the weight of it on your shelf with the size of this base would just warp the wood if its a crappy shelf. Best to stick to hobby products when dealing with resin from what they said.

Ok thanks anyway! And Thanks for taking the time to reply, I checked out some of your other vids you do nice work, sir
Hey John, do you think this can be poured a bit thin into a hollow base to fill it up ? Thanks

Looks like A Cake !

i did a video on BSI glue in my channel, look that one up. Its the only glue i tend to use on statues now, cause super glue will cloud paints.
Did you make a follow up to show what happened? I can't find one.
I forget which base this was for, but ended up for a item like this. czcams.com/video/ebdVrDjWbLs/video.html
Thanks!
can I use this to fill a vinyl kit?

Why didn't you just use some cement. Much cheaper.

"it's like 10-15 bucks." No, it's 6.98. Way off there buddy!
