Hi all…Is it just me or is Mr. surface hard to sand after applying for a seam filler…I think I prefer squadron putty
it is harder to sand than squadron but imo gives a better finish… i always found squadron to “bitty” and soft and couldnt get a nice finish . my current favourites for seam/hole/ejector marks are
3M Acryl-red glazing putty [ht]
mister disolved putty
mister surfacer (500 and 1200)
Use a q-tip and Mr. Color thinner to rub it down. I only sand the stuff on fuselage seams that are easy to get to with a sanding stick. All difficult areas like wing roots get the q-tip.
cool!! thanks for the tip HK .
also iso-alcohol works too
Not sure about Mr. Surfacer or squadron. I fill seams with Tamiya putty, then use a Q-tip soaked with Acetone (fingernail polish remover) to smooth it out. Sometimes I get away with very little sanding.
