    I have found recently that if I use all purpose wall filler (spackle) from a pound shop along with cheap superglue over the filler to toughen it up then sand I can get most gaps to cover nicely.
    Without the superglue, the sand paper can sometimes eat into the filler and make the gap noticeable again.

    Oh, this is awesome. I recently got into 3-D printing and I want to start making my own figures and now I know how I can fill the gaps. I’m definitely gonna use this method.

    Hi Dad. I use Selleys Spakfilla Rapid in my models. When I first came to Sydney Australia in the early 90’s I noticed that due to the clay soil, extreme changes in temperature created cracks in the internal arched doorways. Selleys Spakfilla Rapid was the only product to create a great finish but was also elastic enough for seasonal movements.
    It does dry a little chalky but it sands well and takes a proper paint finish.

    As a cabinet builder for over 20 years.. the white paste wood filler will shrink and can crack as well.. glazing spot putty won't and here is some FYI when you use the wood filler.. keep a wet sponge handy... you can wipe the white putty and will smooth it with a lot less sanding...

    Never thought of using wood filler to fill in gaps. This was a great idea plus a bit less expensive compared to the milliput. The amount you get in the tub is great also. Great video, loved it.

    Yes, wood filler works great!!! Back when I've built models. Depending on the gaps size I've used CA glue, wood filler, bondo, and of course the hobby products. Green stuff, tester's putty and Tamiya's putty. Not only this video is informative but best part, my name was mentioned...LOL

    • @Groundeffected
      @Groundeffected  2 роки тому

      Haha man I have built many different types of models including scale models that I flew with remote controls. And there’s always something for the job. The hobby stuff usually works well but costs so much more because it’s for hobby but general purpose stuff from the hardware isn’t specialised so costs so much less. Hopefully I don’t mess up the pronunciation!

    I've heard great things about wood filler! I've also heard of a technique to turn wood filler into filler primer. Basically you just take wood filler + mixing medium (I think gloss floor polished was used) + thinner (not sure about ratios). As long as the wood filler is water soluble and thinned down enough it can be sprayed through an airbrush. Pretty cool application, though if I need filler primer I'll just use a spray can of it so I haven't tried this.

    • @Groundeffected
      @Groundeffected  2 роки тому

      Yea it stinks I’d imagine not very good for lungs and stuff if you do spray it. But a spray can of filler primer is probably just as good to be honest. Really was sceptical about this at first. But it’s really great stuff for me.

    • @pmpnak1238
      @pmpnak1238 2 роки тому

      A channel called Star Forge has a recipe and video for taking wood filler and making it into a sprayable filler. Works pretty well but it’s more for larger props and needs to be sprayed out of a lvlp gun. Also has a recipe for a pretty decent acrylic thinner.

    You can get epoxie sculpt or magic sculpt in a 1lb pack (8oz hardener / 8oz resin). Pretty much the same thing as milliput just larger quantities, which ends up costing less per oz.

  • @Fredster9984
    @Fredster9984 Рік тому

    If you mix milliputt with alcohol you can paint it on as well. Fill the big gaps up with it normally then use it as a putty/slurry over the top.

    • @Groundeffected

      That sounds like you need milliput. Theo part epoxy putty that hardens and can be sanded. It’s not strong for flying parts together but if you made the part then glued it in it’s good!
