I found a whole package of this in my work box, so I must have known what it was for at some point. How does it compare to green stuff in terms of purpose, pliability, work time, etc.? My biggest upcoming project is filling in the gaps in my slottabases around the metal figure's mounting bar and smoothing the tops of the bases over for texture and paint. Would this be suitable for that? Many thanks!

Should be; for those purposes even the cheap plumbing stuff should work just fine.

I'm not sure what the blue/white epoxy putty is for. Yellow/blue is good for sculpting softer surfaces and curves; light/dark grey is better for straight lines and hard edges. Pretty much anything works for rough base work.

Indeed, I covered slots in the base by super-gluing some masking tape over them. Haven't had an issue with it coming off in over ten years, and it's a HECK of a lot cheaper than epoxy putty of any sort...

I often put bits of popsicle stick in the slots.

Its different consistencies.

Green stuff is more rubbery,
Millput drys way harder
Brown stuff is also very hard and holds edges very well
Black stuff IIRC dries SUPER hard and is easily sanded and stuff.
i have also used pool putty which is VERY malleable almost to a fault but then dries harder than any other putty iv used.

any plumber putty however should be perfectly fine for filling slots in bases.
