Tamiya 87052 Epoxy Putty (Smooth Surface)

Tamiya 87052 Epoxy Putty (Smooth Surface) is an excellent tool for any modeler who wants to achieve a perfect finish for their projects. It is a two-component epoxy putty designed for repairing and reconstructing plastic models. Thanks to its smooth surface, this putty allows for exceptionally precise and aesthetic results.

Product Features:

• Two-component formula: The putty consists of two strips – a filler and a hardener, which are in white and gray colors. Combining these components in the right proportions allows for a mass with varying degrees of hardness and drying times.
• Smooth finish: The Smooth Surface model is characterized by exceptional smoothness and fineness, making it ideal for precise modeling tasks.
• Hardening time: The putty reaches full hardness after about 12 hours, providing ample time for detailed modeling and processing.
• Packaging: The product is available in a 25 g package, making it convenient to use and store.

Application:

Tamiya 87052 epoxy putty is extremely versatile and can be used for various modeling tasks. It is perfect for:

• Repairing and reconstructing models: Ideal for filling larger gaps, cracks, and other imperfections deeper than 1.5-2 mm.
• Creating details: Thanks to its plasticity, the putty allows for creating complex details, such as weld imitations or zimmerit on World War II tank models.
• Working with figures: It works great for modeling figures, allowing for precise corrections and adding details.

How to use:

1. Preparation: Before use, cut off the appropriate amount of filler and hardener, then mix them thoroughly until a uniform mass is obtained.
2. Application: The putty can be applied to the model's surface using a wooden toothpick, plastic spatula, or a specialized steel applicator. Wetting the tool in water makes the work easier and increases the mass's plasticity.
3. Processing: After completely drying, the putty can be processed with a file, sandpaper, or polishing sponge to achieve the desired shape and finish.
