Can you use Liquid Greens Stuff to fill molds for smaller things, like Bolters and Backpacks?

I've never tried it, but LGS shrinks a lot as it dries, so I'd guess that it wouldn't be the best thing to use.
If you have a mould (of something you've sculpted yourself of course!) to test it with though, there's nothing stopping you trying it and reporting back
Regards

Liquid green stuff is not green stuff. It is a acrylic based filler, this means whatever you will cast will become brittle when it dries. Also liquid green stuff shrinks a lot. use oyumaru and green stuff instead if you want to duplicate a backpack you made.
I would also recommend everyone to replace their liquid green stuff with vallejos plastic putty. It serves the same function, but it is actually a good product.

It really is very crumbly, and very wasteful. Any two part putty would be cheaper.

Liquid green stuff is pure gakk. Don't bother with that gakk.

I thought liquid GS was essentially thick paint. I am surprised that it cured in a mould.
