Hi all,

I'm doing some sculpting for the imperial knight model. I have to sculpt some large fabric pieces in various places, but all of my green stuff develop tiny little lumps that I cant smooth out. They form as i'm kneading the stuff together and no amount of time spent mashing the stuff together gets me a smooth, homogeneous texture. Any one have tips on how to prevent this from happening, or have any alternative brands of epoxy mixes I can try out?

Thanks a million.

Is your stuff the ribbon/tape like band where the two parts touch? What you're describing happened to me when I had that type of green stuff. If that is indeed the case, you'll need to start removing the bit in the middle where they touch and discard that part. In the future look for the tube where the blue and yellow come separated.

If you don't have the ribbon kind and are getting this issue, I'm not sure what the problem is.

The tubes of GS are great & last ages. You get so much more for not much more £$. Difficult to find in the UK now though.
You could also try Procreate putty. Really nice stuff & sets harder than GS, is slightly less sticky & you can get harder edges from it.
