Liquid Green Stuff - Useful or Big Hot Mess?

[Dilettante Gamer]

I've been kitbashing across manufacturers and there are lots of small natural gaps and awkward fits.

Rolling tiny threads of GS is a bit fiddly and I'm wondering if liquid greenstuff might be worth a try.

When I first saw GW release this product, I rolled my eyes. 

If not this stuff, how about Zap a Gap?

The liquid Greenstuff has it's uses. I've found it pretty handy for gaps & other odds & ends. I also use Zap-a-Gap and found it fairly effective.

It's great for filling small gaps in figures. Like painting, you get a better finish if you do a couple of thin layers vs a thick one though.

I've also had good uses from it for adding hair and coat buttons etc in conversions. I was surprised at how versatile it is.

Thank you, fellas!

Tried the Liquid GS, and it was ok. Pretty fiddly to get the hang of, but it definitely has its uses. Good for filling hairline cracks and things. Worked best when I brushed it on with an old ragged brush.

Then I tried the Vallejo Plastic Putty, and I found it much better. Similar product, but far easier to work with, dries harder, takes sanding better. Have to recommend it over the GS.

It's useful stuff for really smoothing out a blend. I find I use milliput for gap filling, then a thin coat of LGS just to smooth it all out even more.

Helpful additional perspectives.  Much obliged, comrades!
