Hi there small time member 4th time poster.
Anyway I had a question about this thing called chemical metal plastic padding, I found this in my grandfathers old tool box and wondered what possibilites this had in the modeling world, but didnt get any proper answers so I turn to Dakka and see if anyone have any ideas what to use it as if its even safe to use in modeling/conversions or the like?

Dude I've never even heard of that. Post up a picture of it so we can have a look?

Alright heres a front and back of it

it sounds like it makes plastics as hard as metal. But, i cant be too sure

IT is a filler compound,
Has minor expanding propertys when setting to ensure tight fit on gaps. Used in construction and boating. Basicaly anything witha hole can be filled with the stuff.

Must be mixed like epoxy, set time is fairly quickly. Not a workable substance for miniatures as the form changes shape as it expands a little.

Ah thanks for the info man saved me from experimenting on something

I also believe that its more than slightly toxic...

also, check your computers, as my antivirus just alerted me to a popup that it blocked on that page that was identified as a trojan (Trojan.Win32.Generic.pak!cobra)
