Question How do you use Tamiya Polyester Putty?

Since my Japanese isn't upto to scratch (ok so I don't know any Japanese)and I can't read the instructions - could someone who is in know tell me how to use the stuff. From the pictures in the instructions - I can make out that equal parts of putty and hardner are needed. There is some mention of "5-10" in relation to the mixed stuff and then "60"...I'm assuming these are times.
Appreciate the help. TIA

I just started using this myself...

I think the 5-10 is 'working time' and 60 is for full cure.

If you have the right amount of hardener the mixed putty should be the same shade as the cap of the big tube.

And, the contents of the big tube tend to separate, so, kneed the tube before you use any.

Oh! and it smells great too!

Re: How do you use Tamiya Polyester Putty?

I'm a long time Tamiya polyester putty user, and I read Japanese, but I've never read the instruction on it. (LOL)
Anyway, once you mix the putty and the hardener, it start hardening in 5 - 10 minutes, depending on how much you add the hardener, room temp. etc..
Working time is the time you have to mix the putty and the hardener, and apply it to wherever you want. Just use it on a scrap part, and you'll find out.
