Or should I say does miliput ever expire cause its my first time using this and i am having problem. The green tube(not sure if it is supposedly green) is crumby and the blue tube got brown skin and at the start of the tube, black lines or veins, fugal perhaps?? anyway, the mix is crumby and green.
anyone got similar issue?? thanks

Not officially, but yes. After long periods of storage, the skin you've mentioned will form (I've not seen the veining you mentioned before). If you mix the Milliput with the skin, there will be unmixed bits of skin that are visible even after thorough kneading.

In my experience (YMMV), old Milliput is fine for terrain & basing, but I'd get some new stuff for gap filling on models.

What you can also do with old milliput is mix it with some water and apply it to joints/seams with a brush and it works like liquid green stuff. Better in my opinion.

Agreed.

I've used fresh Milliput for this purpose, but never the old stuff. Regardless, my preferred method is to flatten a ball of mixed Milliput into a little pancake, put a few drops of water on it, and mix the water into the Milliput with a trashed brush. The resulting paste is the only thing I use for gap filling. It's far better than liquid green stuff and can also be sanded for a seamless join.

thanks everyone. though i am a bit worried about the black dots still on the surface of the brown skin. might buy some fresh one just to be sure........
