Milliput or Greenstuff?

[Rich H]

Ahh so milliput for armour and greenstuff for bags and bedrolls?
Have you ever mixed the two Rich?

Not deliberately no.  I use miliput for curved armour as with a little bit of water it smooths out really well.  I find it moves entirely plastically and has no spring back.
GS I find has more resistance and tends to spring back more.  I struggle with GS.

I'll find a pic...

Centurion turret.
the large flatish areas nad corners lend themselves to miliput. 
It holds a fine edge and smooths out very well leaving very little surface texture.

But weld lines lend themselves to greenstuff as it creates detail better where miliput would look ragged.

I'm another who mixes greenstuff with milliput. Mostly 50/50 mix for general sculpting. You do get the best qualities of both products.

The "oily" surface I put down to problems with the mixing, if the resin(the oily stuff) and the hardener are not in the right proportions then you might have resin left over.

If the hardener has dried out there might not be enough to react with all the resin.

I have had similar experiences with bought resin scenery and gluing stuff with epoxy.

It seems to seep through paint and superglue.

That would make sense...thanks. So is there any way to correct it without removing the greenstuff and starting again? I have put primer over it and each time it just becomes really shiny, which must be the resin seeping through

You could try a Milliput slurry over it. I have not tried it.

Try a quick wipe of solvent like white spirits or similar perhaps?
