putty for glassing and painting
I am learning to glass and paint and am needing a putty to use after priming and sanding. I am glassing using the water based poly method. All the particular puttys I have seen recomended are not available where I live so I have been looking for a substitute. I recently saw in a paint store a putty that is used on cars. It comes in a quart sized paint can and is available in grey or burnt red. It has the consistency of really thick paint. It probably has a similar consistency to wood putty but is wet. I asked the clerk about it and he said he it is applied with a squeegy and then sanded off. This putty has a pretty strong smell and the quart can is fairly heavy.
Does this sound like the types of putty that would normally be used on a glassed model?
