Procreate putty

[Khmorg]

Dear All.


Does anyone know what happened to the procreate putty?. whether they will still release this or hope to get this product no longer makes sense

[Daeothar]

I had no idea it was out of production. It's my favourite sculpting medium as it suits my personal sculpting skills and style much better than greenstuff.

So here's to hoping it'll endure, because it's a great product...

That's weird. It shows up in searches from Wayland and El Greco mins, but they're out of stock. It's not on the greenstuff website at all.

I bought some in May, so it was available then.

Maybe try ebay? Hopefully it will come back, as it's really useful

[Khmorg]

I have an even more difficult situation. The seller who is available to me only has very old material in stock.

My supplies are stored in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator. five packs left.....

what to do??? switch to brown staff putty??? or wait...maybe he will come back

[Daeothar]

I have one roll left that's about a year or so old. I should really put it in the freezer I reckon...

Well that’s not good. Let’s hope it’s a temporary transport/logistical issue.

I've no idea why it's officially off the site .Other than the issues I've personally had with it(and complained about. With a really positive response and out come.) Possibly having parody with the official reasons
The last three orders I've had. Have all had issues with the white part having granulated inclusions. Last order in October I'm into my last two packs with one having the same issue only with the outer surface of the white acting like skin .
Much As I enjoy it as a sculpting material.
I've been seriously considering an alternative as it's quality has proved very unreliable this year.

[Khmorg]

Is there really no way to find out from the manufacturer whether they will produce this material in the future??

[Daeothar]

I've tried to contact the manufacturer, Kraftmark, but their website seems to not have been updated since somewhere in 2019, and the contact page looks like this...

I've finally heard back from Green Stuff World .
They are no longer stocking Procreate. Apparently there's no real difference between green,brown,or pro create . So I suspect the reply wasn't made by someone one who's used them
( To be fair it was mentioned more in line with casting. But the did say brown clay is stiffer than greenstuff . )

I am late to the "ZOMG THEY DON'T MAKE PROCREATE ANYMORE!" train, which is probably an indication of how slowly I sculpt

For other sculptors on the thread/channel, would your preferred replacement be Magic Sculp or Miliput? I've used neither, but I have some dislikes for the properties of Kneadtite, and would prefer not to return to it :/

[zemjw]

I have never had much success sculpting with Milliput, as I find it more suitable to carving than building. Having said that, there are plenty of folk out there using it, so it's probably me. My recent uses of it have been to fill in holes in bases.

I think I have some magic sculpt in the cupboard, but I don't think I've ever tried it.

Have you looked at polymer clays like fimo or beeswax - https://beesputty.com/infobase

Came up a couple years ago, was sad and forgot all about it as other things were going on.

basically this:

https://forum.oldhammer.org/threads/procreate-what-is-up.38294/

there is a tiny holding page that no longer has the original message, the linked in if you dare goes still mentions them and their goal but links to a completely new company that's acquired the brand name it seems now.

TLDR;  ceased trading 2023 ish

There's a knack to smoothing polymer clay which I have still not mastered. I haven't tried Beesputty. On occasion, my work gets cast up by professionals (as opposed to my homemade gravity pour molds); how well does beesputty stand up to vulcanization, in your experience?
