TAMIYAUSA TAM87053 Putty Basic Type

Good consistency, viscosity. Dries quickly, sands easily. Recommend applying in thin layers for best results.

I used this putty to fill gaps and cracks in my 3D-printed cosplay pieces, and overall, I'm really happy with it. It is a bit thick, which makes it somewhat challenging to spread out thinly, and it does take a while to fully dry before you can sand it. However, once it’s dry, it does a fantastic job of covering gaps and giving a smooth finish. Definitely a good purchase in the end.

This is my "go-to" model building putty. Tamiya's product works very well, and can be sanded smooth.I recommend it.

Works well. Easy sanding

Medium grey in color. Dries farely quickly. Easy to trim off and shape.

I've only so far used it for adding a cast iron texture to a MaK model (works amazingly for such a simple technique), but it works incredibly well for added texture. It dries very quickly so be mindful you'll have to work fast! That is a strength and a bit of a drawback, as the rapid drying time means shapes hold better and you don't have to wait a long time for curing. I've so far only used a finger stipple technique (with gloves!) and it can take a bit of time to understand how the putty moves and reacts. Excellent stuff, though. I love it.

I always used Tamiya products and have had no problem with it

Overall it does work as it claims to let you fill stuff and dries on it's own. But it's not as good as I was hoping, I wanted something smoother than using miliput or other stuff to flow into tiny gaps, this stuff comes out kinda thick, and dries a bit chalky and clumpy really fast so with it being so thick it can be hard to get it into the small gaps you want to fill on more complexly shaped models, and to then remove the excess before it starts hardening and messing up some details. Ok for gaps on smooth tanks or boats or such seems, but on smaller detailed models where I hoped it would be good it's not the best, though still can work with some practice and rushing.Overall, it's got some problems, mix in with it being rather badly toxic, and I'm not planning to get anymore. And while it does harden soon enough to the touch... that "hard" stuff will still be off gassing for well over two days that bad stuff so don't leave it in an enclosed room or anything for awhile. The part the gas isn't just bad to breathe in, but if it gets into your ears it damages hearing is especially bad since while I often wear a gas mask when working, thick gas proof ear covers not so much.I'd probably recommend two part non toxic putties over this for 90% of the use cases if you care about health, and 60% if not.
