Reading gionc's awesome thread about making pe parts triggered something...
Has anyone ever tried using UV curing nail-gel as a filler?
If you're not sure what it is, basically lots of women get 'gel nails'. My wife is into this right now, and has recently bought the equipment to do it at home. Essentially, you just need this special acrylic 'gel' that cures in UV light. She has a special UV light as well (reading gionc's thread about using a UV light to make PE parts is what made me think of this....)
The gel she uses dries within about 3 minutes sitting under the light. I thought it might be a good/quick filler for model work, as the stuff cures to an acrylic/plastic consistency.
Anyone tried this out before? As I type this, I'm wondering.... Is this the way that the Tamiya light-curing putty works?
