Hello I didn't find any specific topic on this matter so I decided to create one.
Colour shapers. Which size do you use? Which stiffness?
I'd like to buy a set for sculpting green stuff and possibly milliput and magic sculp, but I need your advices about it.
I thought to buy the size 0 but I not sure about whether is better between firm (usually the one with grey coloured tip) and extra firm tip (usually black). What is your experience?

Extra firm is still reasonably bendy so I'd go with size 0 black tips - other than that they are really useful for smoothing green stuff etc - reccommended.

Definitely recommend the extra firm (I also use size 0). They're stiffer than any brush, but they're far from being a non-stick replacement for rigid metal tools. Extra firm has enough flex to be useful for smoothing, but also allows you to actually shift the putty around, which softer versions may have trouble doing. The non-stick properties and head shapes make me want to use them for sculpting, not just smoothing, so at least some degree of stiffness is desirable.

They're not terribly expensive, so I might recommend them even if you mostly use putty for filling gaps. If you plan to do a decent bit of sculpting, they're pretty much "must have" items.

Agree with the others - as stiff as possible because when GS starts to go off it becomes really quite stiff. Milliput is always stiff while sculpy is the softest of the 3. Be care & thorough when you clean your tools after using milliput - you can file it off metal tools but if it dries on a shaper you'll probably have to bin it.

Thank you! Very helpful comments from you all.
So it seems that extra firm, size 0 is the most advisable choice. Somewhere I've read that size 2 is better, although it seems to me suitable just for large surfaces (like capes) and that in any case you should be more or less able to do with size 0 what you do with size 2, but not the inverse.
