Product Information

🔧 What it is and why it works

Tamiya 87145 Epoxy Putty Smooth Surface is a two-part epoxy compound created specifically for modellers who won't compromise on quality.

                After mixing the two components (resin + hardener), you get a malleable compound that becomes rock-hard after 12 hours, yet remains smooth as glass. It's precisely this smoothness that makes it exceptional among modelling compounds! 🏆

❓ Frequently asked questions

🤔 Is the compound safe to use?

Yes! It's non-toxic, but use gloves. When sanding, wear a mask or sand wet to avoid dust.

💾 Can I store unused compound?

Only before mixing! Once mixed, it cures quickly. Store components in sealed containers to prevent drying out.

🆚 How does it differ from other putties?

Tamiya gives exceptionally smooth surface finish and is easier to work with than Milliput or acrylic fillers.

📦 How many projects will 100g cover?

A very long time! Enough for dozens of small repairs or several larger modelling projects.

Which glue should I use for plastic, resin or metal?

Plastic cement welds polystyrene kits; resin and metal don't react to cement, so use super glue (CA). PVA is for basing materials only.

Green Stuff or Milliput — which putty?

Green Stuff stays slightly flexible and holds fine sculpted detail; Milliput cures rock-hard and sands smooth, ideal for gap filling. Many modellers mix the two.

How long does epoxy putty take to cure?

Workable for roughly 60–90 minutes, fully cured in about 24 hours at room temperature — check each product's description for exact times.
