The 4 lb Brown kit is the largest format we stock for long terrain-board builds and a season of repair work, where repeatedly rationing a smaller jar would interrupt the job. Its 1814 g total is divided between two 2 lb tubs, one Part A and one Part B; the stated 4 lb refers to the complete pair. The coloured body keeps each fresh addition distinguishable on grey or primed work during shaping, while the cured surface remains paintable.
The mixed compound provides 1–3 hours for forming, tooling and refinement.
Take equal portions of A and B for a 50/50 batch and knead for two minutes to activate it fully.
Self-hardening needs no baking, but the work must cure for 24 hours before sanding or drilling.
Aves records 0% shrinkage and characterises the cured material as hard and waterproof.
When matching an established build, combine Brown with another Part A colour first, then introduce Part B equal to the blended Part A amount so the selected colour continues through the cured piece.

Notes · Q & A
What's the difference between Green Stuff and Milliput-type putties?+
Green Stuff is flexible and springy, holding fine sculpted detail like cloth and cabling. Milliput-type putties are harder-setting and sand smooth once cured, which makes them better for gap-filling and surfaces you want to blend flat. Many sculptors mix the two.
How do I stop epoxy putty sticking to my tools and fingers?+
Keep a little water on the tool and your fingertips as a release; the putty won't grab a wet surface. Work in good light and let very tacky putty firm up for a few minutes before shaping fine detail.
How do I get the mixing ratio right?+
Most epoxy putties cure at a 1:1 mix of the two parts by volume, kneaded until the colour is fully even with no streaks. Under-mixing leaves soft patches that never fully harden, so mix longer than feels necessary.
How do I fill a seam gap cleanly without losing nearby detail?+
Press a small amount of putty into the gap, then wipe the excess back with a wet tool or a cotton bud before it cures, leaving putty only in the recess. Cleaning up wet saves sanding over detail later.
