Hello sir! just a random thing I just used this product a few days ago, aside from talcum powder you guys can also use water to prevent it from sticking to your hands and fingers, you just dab your fingers in a bit of water so it doesn't stick. You guys can also try brushing it with water to make it extra smooth. I'm going to try using talcum powder too it looks to be such a good technique!
Hi Eli, I'm happy to say that these tarps should come off the model relatively easily as long as you place a fair amount of talcum powder on the model prior to applying the tarp. We would also recommend taking care when removing it. I hope that helps!
Hello! The Quick type putty is what you would want if you were looking to do more moulding and shaping. The Smooth finish is something you could apply once you have your desired shape/mould to give it that smooth finish. You can also use the smooth finish on small cracks and gaps as you can sand it back and give it a good polish.
I just tried the smooth epoxy putty and it was quite stiff and hard to mold together. It finally mixed and am now waiting for it to cure. I didnt find any expiration date on the box, but maybe it is usable after a few years??
Hello, Epoxy putty has a shelf life of at least 12 months, stored correctly it might last a lot longer. Might just depend on how long you have had that one and if it has been kept cool an dry for that period :)
Hi there, this method is designed to be sculptured and left to set in whatever shape you intended rather than being bendable. It would likely tear/snap rather than bending if pressure is applied. Hope that helps!
This style of series is really enjoyable. Thanks!
Thank you for this tutorial! I want to model the folded-back soft section of canvas roof on a WW1 ambulance and your method looks ideal.
Cheers thanks sharing very useful video, Happy Christmas 🎅

This was very helpful, thank you.
Difference between the 2 products?
Will these tarps come off the model easily after drying?

Well done man, thank you so much for sharing. So what is the diffrence between smooth finish and quick type ?
Hello! The Quick type putty is what you would want if you were looking to do more moulding and shaping. The Smooth finish is something you could apply once you have your desired shape/mould to give it that smooth finish.

Thank you so much man. Great looking models.@@MetroHobbiesAus

Hi Leon, Yep! Any can be used :)
Is it bendable after it cured?

What was the function of these tarps?
Camouflage purposes as well as coping with the weather elements
