Title: Adhesive Putty
Post by: cleggy on 07 October 2013, 13:47:39
Can anyone remember the name of the stuff that moulds, filling and attaching things together?

I seem to remember that it came in different colours and was only available online

For small jobs I find Milliput or Kneadatite

to be good stuff .. much more permanent than bluetak

there are other modelling putty's around as well

Entwood is closer to the mark it is a mouldable adhesive that glues and set like concrete, buggered if I can remember the name. someone on here recommended it  and I can't find the thread. :(

milliput is the brand name.
 "epoxy putty" is the generic name.
always keep some in the tool box!
The amount of cars and vans I've bodged with that to get home (or pass an MOT  ::) ).

It doesn't work to rebuild headlamp adjusters, tho, I tried  ::) 8)  :-X

Google for devcon plastic steel. We used lots of this stuff on the ships back in the 70's and 80's. once set, it can be sawn, drilled, filed and machined if your initial 'casting' isn't quite upto the mark.

Was also available in bronze, brass and aluminium flavours back in the day as well as a non stick coating that you painted onto the master mould to take a dummy and thus recreate an alternate original.
