seanrx Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Hi. During a sanding session i left scratches in the plastic. Too light for Milliput smeared on damp and matt acrylic paint rubs out. To buy just one product, which to use. Mr Hobby spray or brush on? Tamiya product perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other is to make some 'sprue goo' , use leftover sprues, preferably from the kit, chop them up and dissolve them in liquid cement, apply with old brush, when dry is basically added back same plastic. Fast option, superglue and talc mix, you can use plain superglue, but sand as soon as hard, when fully harden is harder than the plastic. talc makes it softer and easier to work, as well as adding bulk/body to the filler. If in doubt, test one something spare first. HTH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsbody Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I would go for a finer grade of Mr Surfacer. These are the grades I have. You can airbrush the 1500 after thinning with Mr Hobby Leveling Thinner. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the sprue goo tip, will try this tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsbody Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I have a sewing needle that I cut the eye mostly off, leaving a small vee. I use it to apply small drops of superglue and Mr Surfacer. Chris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Harmsworth Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 For scratches I'd use Mr Surfacer 1200. It will sometimes disappear into a seam that needs filling (so use 500 for that) but is great for surface scratches. I apply with a cocktail stick / toothpick.

Black Knight Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 'Liquid Green Stuff' from Citadel. I thin it a wee bit more with 'Astonish' to make it water resistant for wet sanding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximilian Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Bondo spot & glazing putty mixed into a soup with Mr. Color Thinner. Paint over the gouged surface gently and let the lacquer thinner level out. Sand gently through the grits starting at 1K. This process plus a good primer will make easy work of it.
