I... actually don't know. Help?

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

Thanks! I've got a fur mold, I'll try it out and come back later!

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.
