Most hardware shops sell selection packs with a couple of sheets of each of the useful grades, or you can get it from Amazon these days.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590738/6742487.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590738/6742487.page GMT
If you're using GW greenstuff or similar where the blue and yellow parts are joined as one strip, you often have to discard the middle bit where they join because it starts curing together after a while.

If you're getting fingerprints, you can smooth them out before it cures, do your sculpting, wait an hour or so, the greenstuff will be more firm but not completely cured, so you can just gently work out fingerprints and stuff.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590738/6742520.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590738/6742520.page GMT GS. (Usually a wet toothpick or paintbrush handle.)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590738/6742540.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590738/6742540.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590738/6742542.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590738/6742542.page GMT
The rubber tip shapers are very good. I have a set myself. They only work on putty that is still pliable, though, so it is something to bear in mind for the future.

As already mentioned, never use the the bit in the middle of strip GS, use a rubber tipped colour shaper & if you're doing a lot on 1 mini don't try to do it all at once - do it in small bits / layers & built it up. Look at the WIP pages on the Hasslefree site to see what I mean (http://www.hfminis.co.uk/# when it's back up & running that is!!)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590738/6743160.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590738/6743160.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590738/6743165.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590738/6743165.page GMT GS & the actual mini.
Have also mixed GS with Milliput which creates a harder finish which can be more easily scraped / filed / polished smooth.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590738/6743171.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590738/6743171.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590738/6743178.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590738/6743178.page GMT
