I’m an aircraft maintenance technician for a major airline company and have found this stuff works great when reattaching a wing to a passenger plane that still has some gaps that needs filling.
Just can't belive that this sort of stuff is used for aviation repair...
@@ED-qr1gh I work for Boeing. Obviously.
😂😂😂
Great putty. It even worked to fill in the hole in my soul.
Lol......how many tubes of the stuff did you use to do it?
Just one. A little goes a long way.
Hello. I just started using this putty. I put it in the gap, and then with a small brush and water, lightly brush. When it goes dry it sort of has gaps here and there, like it has sunk in some places and others not,,,,could you help me? Thanks in advance.
@@padelisgk8126 --- You could try using less water and more putty. Or you may need to repeat the process several times to completely fill in the gaps, then sand.
dudev 🤣😹🥥
I've been using this stuff all wrong. Super glad I found this video.
Hello Carl! Yayy, we are glad that you finally can enjoy it :)
Gosh I just love how Vallejo putty comes out in a thin nozzle! Also great vid it was very helpful!😃
I use this, but did not know it was this versatile. Good stuff!
Great detailed video with lovely music. There's this little shop in my town where I buy all my Vallejo products. Even the buying is a joy, visiting the shop, talking to the owner and choosing the colors. Thanks guys, keep up the good work.
This is currently my favourite filler. Easy to use and quick clean up.
Some nice uses there that i had not considered.
Thank you very much for your comments!
For me, the best thing about your putty and wash is the lack of toxicity and indifference to health. I don't cough, my skin doesn't suffer, but I like acrylic products. More over, there is no problem with cleaning tools and the desk
The ideas made this video great, the music sold this video.
Really love this putty. Great work vallejo!!
thank you so much!!😊
Great stuff. I've started to paint Warhammer 40k models and this stuff is great. Easy to use and clean up.
For the emperor!
6:49 cannot believe I had never thought of that before! Great video thanks
Love Vallejo products. and this music makes me want to start on another model.
Thank you so much!😊❤️
Thank you for this amazing product! Burned a dent in a PLA 3d printed plastic model with a glue gun, and this fixed it.
Yayy! What good news :) Thank you so much Dirk!
really great , simply to use and so better than the products type Mr surfacer
I am working on a gunpla, and I am giving a try to this, so far, so good, fills the gaps and holes very very good! for small places is perfect! I am already in love!
Great! Thank you! :)
Great video, very informative!
i've been pushing this product all over my twitter and to fellow modlers, this is a life saver if your scribing and make a mistake you wish to correct, or want to til fill gaps and make a kit look less 'busy'.. and it's cheap!
Really good putty. Tho I've watched the video atleast 20 times for the music lol so relaxing
Thank you😊💜
I love the putty that much I even bought another 3 tubes off bna model world here in australia
fantastic video. bravo.
Watched this last night eny future soviet tanks will get the treatment thank for the information and emagination
Used it for three months now, It even works for weld seams, let dry for 5 minutes before pressing weld pattern into seam with back of a hobby knife, or scalpel. Many thanks Vallejo.
Thanks for the great tip!
@@RobbertN You're welcome.
Great Video,will try the putty
Nice techniques bro, keep it up
Excelente produto, dá para utilizar para muitos efeitos. Excelente demonstração , grande abraço José Brito , sempre uma referência para mim. Cumprimentos do Porto - Portugal.
Thank you so much! :)
Just bought this stuff to fill in some gaps from my 3D printed scale models. Initially I was just wondering if I needed gloves, but this video game me a lot of ideas :) thanks
Hello Rachelle! thanks for your feedback! Our products and totally safe for use without gloves but some painters want to keep their hands clean all time 😊Also plastic putty is easy to use and you can clean your hands and tools easily with water after use.
@@vallejocolors oooh that's good to know, thanks for your reply :)
good video and good product
Thank you , for this video👍
You're welcome John :)
⭐️very helpful⭐️ Thankyou 👍
For decades I’ve been looking for a better filler putty that’s more viscous and easier to apply and it looks like I just found it here!
😊💪🏻🔥
Oh wow you can even water it and use as a texture. Now I know what to put on my bases as mud.
expensive mud
I have some being shipped for my Sherman cast parts, timely video thanks.
Bought it, tried it, love it!
What if you move the part around? Wont it break?
@@fealtyknight1015 It's not supposed to go between moving parts. Just to fill gaps that aren't meant to be there.
@@adandap oh i know that but sometimes things happen, you know how finicky parts are lol especially on mecha!
I love this putty because simply apply it to said gap, take a damp cotton bud /Q tip) and run it down the line and boom instant cleanup and your gap is filled,no need for sanding or anything it’s by far my favourite.
Thank you so much for your feedback!! We are glad you have great results with our Putty :D
100% the best on the market! It’s so good I can’t find it in stock at my local hobby shop haha, keep up the amazing products Vallejo!
@@spinster4000 thank you so much ❤️❤️
I love this brand
I love this a putty.
wow no se me había ocurrido lo de la textura
Quizás habría estado bien añadir la imprimación a las figuras como último paso de cada ejemplo, para que viésemos como queda una vez imprimada
Question - is ppe like a mask required if you want to remove excess of the putty through sanding? I ask because of the mention of resin on the tube
You say it dries in around 30 minutes (depending on thickness I suppose) so can I assume it is ready to be painted right away also?
How is it at filling larger gaps?
Can I use it to make Zimmerit with the Zimmeritroller of AFV-Club?
It is not good for sanding thick layers, maybe here in the video there are no problems cause the layer is extra thin, but if you use it like tamiya putty for example on scale model cars, and plan to sand it later you fill feel the rubbery stuff just tear apart and coming off like a chewing gum.
:/ Looks good and I certainly like the way it can be worked with a brush, but how quickly does the nozzle get jammed up with dry putty?
i want to use this to fill in some panel lining on gunpla and planned to paint with lacquer based paints. will this hold up to the paint since its acrylic?
Great video of José Brito, (aka Smurfie hands)...... ;)
Thanks for this video. I was doing it wrong.
You're welcome Buck, any doubt you may have we are here to help you :)
Is it shrink when painted with lacquer paint?
thats cool and all, but can it be used for zimmerit as well?
Ce produit est vraiment efficace. Belle découverte
:) Thanks for your feedback Patrick!
Hi Vallejo, I have the dropper bottle version of this. Am I right in thinking the putty is the same in both the dropper and the nozzled tube (shown in this vid)? Thanks.
does this stuff bleed or ghost through top coat?if not im so getting a batch of this.. however with tamiya kits and other well made and well cast kits putty is less and less required but im some cases it's necessary looks good.
What was that scrapper that you used to get the putty in the cracks?
I am looking for a good putty and this one looks as if it may be the one,Squadron have messed up on the formulae on their once excellent product and I need to find an alternative quickly.
how runny is this stuff? I have some resin casted miniature bases but they are lacking large enough areas that are flat and smooth for me to effectively glue my miniatures to, could I put this stuff on the surface and smooth it to fill in any nooks, crannies, or elevate the surrounding surface to the raised bits to make level flat patches?
Thanks 👍
You're welcome Panos :)
Estoy dando mis primeros pasos con Vallejo Putty, para rellenar gaps en aviones a escala. Quisiera consultar. cual es el tiempo recomendado de secado antes de lijar? Ya que en las pruebas que he hecho, al lijar la masilla aplicada se pela o bien se "arranca".
Super comme produit
My car key is black plastic, this fills the damaged hole but what to use to color?
I find that it shrinks and falls out of gaps and seams. It lacks a good bond with the styrene, and crumbles away. It is easy to apply and cleans up well, though. I mostly use it on figures where the seams are short and not so obvious.
Have to agree... it does shrink and I also find it too soft to sand effectively, could be the amount of water I've used. It is easy to use, but I prefer other types of putty.
Can anyone please mention what kind of sandpaper grits are good for sanding this stuff down when doing seams. Thanks allot :)
Nice Harold Budd-esque track but you should really emphasize it is not a heavy duty Squadron putty type of deal somewhere in your advertising.
I wonder what sized wire that was on those handles..
Es buen producto alomejor lo compro
This guy's a pro though .
Can the putty be used on metal models?
My favourite filler.
This music sounds like something off of the "Against All Odds" soundtrack. The part where they are free-diving.
if you like it, look up Le Grand Bleu, movie and soundtrack
Looks like great stuff. I will half to buy some and try it out on a 1/600 scale revell original series uss enterprise model kit as it comes with engraved panel lines, the original enterprise is not suppose to have panel lines so this stuff will probably work EXCELLENT to fill in those lines and make my model realistic.
A great putty and one I’ve been using for a while.
Btw can anyone assist with the music used here? I love it and would like to buy/download it. Thanks.
Finally found a link to it. :)

1:01 thanks 👍👍
Looks great how much?
how long do you wait to use the water and brush as thinner? or do you do it immediately?
You can use it immediately. The flow is great and you can reach/ fill the most recessed spots, as also add all kind of surface textures.
I use silicon sculpting tools instead of brushes to spread the putty.
Q. Does it shrink at all once dry?
It does shrink a little. I often have to reapply in some areas due to shrinkage.
what if the part I'm trying to fill isn't going to be painted or is very tiny? can I mix some model color acrylic paint with the putty prior to applying it to avoid painting the whole part?
Hello Kernell! It is recommended to apply the Plastic Putty after assembling all the parts and before priming. This approach offers a better option, as you won't have to paint the parts that you don't want, and the plastic putty will be concealed under the primer. Moreover, applying the primer provides additional protection 😊
Wonder if this putty is without any solvent smell since it can be thinned with water. The current filler I use for cast texturing requiers me to use a filtermask and if I have to thin it I need a solvent witch also requires me to use my filtermask. Hope it is odorless then I will defenitly buy this after im done with my current filler.
Hello! You can use this putty withour mask, it is water based and has no solvants or strong odors :) And yes, it can also be thinner with water and sanded!
@@vallejocolors Thank you for the fast respons! Youre products are excelent and make the world so much easier for us modelers! Thanks Acrylicos Vallejo.
@@statoilbensin2190 Thanks!! 😊You're welcome! 💪🏻
Good product; I use it regularly for my aircraft models. One thing needs to be pointed at: the demonstration with the tank turret is misleading: the putty it's not sandable. Other than that, great video tutorial!
It's not easily sandable when done dry, in my experience it sort of tears away, but for wet sanding it's pretty good.
Oh, thank you for heads up. I've try it dry only and yes, tears away or breaks in chunks.
I'll try this someday. It looks like it's curing or clumping while brushing for gap filling. What is the work time for Vallejo Putty? I'm currently using Apoxie sculpt. Water soluble Epoxy clay no shrinkage. 1-3 hours work time
It is about 10-20 minutes. It'll cure just enough for you to scrape it off. Let it dry overnight before you start to sand, prime, or paint.
so, the putty can be thinned with water.
so, does watter affect it once dry?
Yes. If you wash the model to remove sanding dust, the putty will go down the plughole....
How long till it is "well dry"? There are no drying times on the packet
Hello! It depends on each circumstance and studio. You should notice the putty has dried and become hard when touching it. You can wait several hours depending on the quantity of the product applied and also if you used water to thin it.
I have used it and I wouldn't recommend it if you want to fill gaps in your model as its main disadvantage is that it srinks.It is good for texturing.
Nestor, struggling with shrinking RIGHT NOW! What timing! What would you recommend instead?
@@the_musing_kravist I use primary milliput for big gaps( and small gaps) .It is easy to use and with water you can form it as you want.Also i use Mr desolved putty.
Nestor Thomsen,
Additionally, my experience is that this stuff never sets up hard and always remains a little rubbery, which makes sanding filled ejector pin holes, for example, rather dicey - the dried putty always wants to pull out of the hole. I use sprue goo for ejector pin holes and this stuff for fine gaps that don't require any sanding.
Here's an odd question, can I use it to fill small molds? I had some rifles that I wanted to fix so I took one of the few good ones, made a blue stuff mold of it, and am having trouble with regular green stuff. Since this is an alternative to liquid green stuff, I wasn't sure if I could just fill the mold with this and have it work?
Hello. No, you can't use the plastic putty with that purpose. Regards.
No entiendo porqué no ponéis texto en español. ¿ Hay otro canal en español con estos vídeos ?
The question that is asked in every Vallejo video...what is this music?
Hi,
The name of this song is Hydra.
Took me a while to find which "Hydra" they meant. Here's a link. :)

I want add korean subtitle vallejo tutorial video. Please allow me to add subtitles.
so I picked up a tube of this putty not too long ago and I don't know if I got a bad batch or not. It didn't dry "hard" like with the Mr. Putty that I normally use, it was similar consistency to rubber cement or like trying to sand a rubber band. I applied it exactly like in the above video (straight from the tube and thinned with water) so I don't know what the deal is...any ideas or thoughts??
Hello Matt! It shouldn't dry with a rubbery consistency. Please, contact our colleagues in charge of info@acrylicosvallejo.com in order to receive some advice and let them know the problem you're facing with our putty. Thank you :)
@@vallejocolors thank you, I sent them a message and hopefully can get something figured out.
@@vallejocolors is there another way to contact them? I sent a message last week and still haven't received a reply and I'm getting a bit frustrated.
Had this as well and goes flakey when sanded.
Decided it's a product that can't be sanded but ok for filling gaps with surrounding detail.
Sirve esta masilla y/o tenéis otra en el mercado para aplicar zimmerit?
Hola Miguel, no tenemos ninguna más que esta :)
Is it safe to use a lacquer based primer over this?
Hi, No problem!! You can use it.
Thanks
I let it dry for 30 minutes, but it's not really solid, rather like it's made out of gum, and when I sand it, it just sticks to the sanding paper, and comes off. Do I have to add water before it dries?
Hello! No, the texture should not be made out of gum. It should dry and let you sand without problem.
@@vallejocolors Maybe I should wait more. I actually watched this video after applying the putty, and I did not clean off the excess, just let it dry as it is and sand it later, so it was thicker and dried slower. Thank you for the answear.
@@elpatrico2562 try to put a thin layer (just to fill the gaps) and clean the excess. Then let it dry very well and try sanding again. If you need help let us know ;)
@@vallejocolors Sure, will try on my second model.
can this Vallejo plastic putty actually also be used to imitate weld seams? in scale 1.16 !!
Hello. We are afraid ir cannot be used that way. It cannot be sculpted. Best regards.
@@vallejocolors it's OK ! let's see that I can make a rough rolled steel structure in 1:16 scale. Jagdpanther ,, sow-head aperture´´ .....Just one question, can I screw the tip / cannula to every tube, eg to a tube from AK Interactive Professional Modeling Putty ?? bought 3 pieces from Vallejo!
It can , i have used it for 1:16 weld seams. Just don't let it to dry completely before making weld pattern (i used toothpick).
@@zx749r Thanks !
Does this Plastic Putty also work like a (super)glue to join plastic/styrene together?
Hello Jimmy!
No, it doesn't. You will have to use another kind of product for that purpose; our plastic putty fills the gaps between the models' pieces and across the pieces' surfaces.
@@vallejocolors Thanks for your quick reply
Could I use Vallejo plastic putty on foam / styrofoam / Styrodur? Will it "eat" into the foam?
Hello Jimmy! If you need to fill a big empty styrofoam space (for dioramas or bases) you can use 26.211 White Stone (Diorama Effects). In case you must fill a gap you can do it with our plastic putty due it is water-based, it won't eat the plastic.
@@vallejocolors Great to know about your White Stone product. I need to fill both large foam space as well as to close little gaps on foam. I will get both :D
Por favor hacer un vídeo de el nuevo plastic putty el de botecillo

Si nos dices de donde eres te podríamos indicar la tienda más cercana.
Muchas gracias!
Buenas, soy de Argentina, muchas gracias, saludos

??????? igualmente ya lo consegui!!!!
I've tried this putty, after 3 days its still soft like rubber, not hard at all, and no way I could sand it. And I didnt thin it.
Hello Cheebc! That is not the expected finish when applied and dry. Please contact our colleagues through info@acrylicosvallejo.com to get technical support! We want to thank you for your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience caused!
What happened in the end? Music put me to sleep.
The butler did it
Anyone tried using this to fill the layer lines on 3D printed objects? :)
Yeah. It has issues sticking to PLA and will chip away if you try to sand it. I used kneadatite brown instead.
Высыхает в вязкую поверхность, абсолютно не шкурится. Как будто под видом шпаклевки продают обычную акриловую краску.
