Question on Puty

[charlatan]

How does the tamiya epoxy work. What am i supposed to do how long to wait till it dry. Can anyone tell me how to work with it please...

Check out the FAQ and the Search forum next time!

Anyways, a couple hours into drying, you should start carving the desigred shape out, or else it'll be a real pain sanding it when it's fully dry.

Oopss, do you need through instrutions from the start of using the putty, or just tips? BTW, there should be a pair of Japanese/English instructions included with the putty.

Guys, I've checked the FAQ and now i have a few questions on this too.
I've noticed Tamiya has 4 different Putties.
Basic
Polyester
Epoxy - smooth
Epoxy - quick time

I want to seal in small gaps inbetween a car's body and its bumper. I also want to be able to add an air scoop and use the putty to blend the airscoop to the hood.

Like this one



Which one should I use ? Or which one do you recommend.

thanks

To fill the gaps use Tamiya basic putty. To make an airscoop use either of the two epoxy putties. To blend it to the hood you can use epoxy or basic.
