I used Squadron Green Putty and it was horrible.
I now use Bondo red putty.. it's cheap and work really great.. not good for molding something, but for fill crack it's perfect... oh, and did I tell you it was cheap ?

I used the squadron junk for a while, it worked alot better when I started thinning the putty w/ acetone(? maybe it was alcohol). Basically, the putty was almost brushed on w/ an old brush. But now, it is tamiya only.

I use Dyna Tron Dyna de-lite. It's a gold colored 2-part filler made by the Bondo people. It has a much finer grain than regular Bondo - nad it's available from the local AutoZone. They make a 2 part glazing putty too - I think it's called Putty Cote, that I would love to find, it's the stuff Bill Geary uses!
The glazing and spot putty (orange tube) is okay, but it shrinks a lot! I like using it on diecast bodies though - just toss it in the oven before work and the pilot light cures it rock hard by the time I get home! Never had any luck with Squadron, no matter how many times I tried it, lol. Tim D. http://modelcartech.com

I tried Squadron green, but it sucks to me!
So I mainly use Bondo Spot and glazing (same as Testors red, but cheaper) and Tamiya 2-part epoxy. I hope to get my hands on some Tamiya polyester and Mori mori putty as well!
