When the two are mixed together a chemical reaction takes place "curing" the putty instead of "drying" like the "1-part" stuff. Since nothing evaporates it stays the same volume. I'm sure others will chime in with their favorite products.
Thanks for your posting... Yes, you are right, I'm using one part putty. I'm new to this, still learning but I learn a lot among people just like you, thanks! What type of two part putty you recommend? I heard of Magic Sculp Putty, is this good?
