i use green stuff quite abit for conversions but its generaly to fill in gaps. But ive started a major project where i need to use it to make ar plates however im finding it difficult to get a perfectly smooth finish (i just wt my finger and try and smooth it out that way). Is there an easy way to get a good smooth finish using green stuff? i thought of using pva or superglue to fill in slight bumps will this work?

i havent tried my hand at GS yet (i have a blister of it nailed to a wall next to my table for the past year or so) but using a smooth ended tool should do the trick.
Im also guessing that superglue could pop out of the cracks or simply dry out and shatter.
Ill let more expirienced gamers here tell you though,especially Navarro.

The really short answer is to use moistened tools (either water or saliva), and make sure whatever tool you use is the shape for the job at hand.

soapy water works for me just dish soap & water

but i haven't use green stuff i have used other household type 2 part epoxy

The trick I found to smoothing green stuff is to just use warm water. Warm water makes all the difference.

thanks for the advise everyone, my conversion is coming along great now. My hardest task however is to try and make a skull outa this green stuff.
