Powdered Toast Man posted:Styrene is such a pain in the rear end to deal with for making irregularly shaped small parts that I'm now leaning more towards thin brass sheet metal. You can get it in a thickness that's almost, but not quite like foil and it's very easy to cut and shape. Use pliers that don't have "teeth" on the inside of the gripping surface to prevent marring the metal.  You can use a cheap dollar store pair of pliers and coat the jaws in Plasti-Dip rubber.

Vaporware posted:If you don't find green stuff agreeable (I've always had trouble mixing it sufficiently, it's really stiff), I recommend using apoxie, it's much softer in the mixing phase, and I find it easier to work in the modelling phase. If you're a masochist and green stuff isn't stiff enough, use actual plumbers putty. Ehhhhh, Apoxie Sculpt is really grainy. There's this newer stuff on the market called ProCreate, that has the working time, sharp detail and elasticity of green Kneadatite, but it's nowhere near as sticky, and it dries harder and can be filed like brown Kneadatite. MasterSlowPoke posted:plumbers putty won't dry for 15 years Green stuff is Kneadatite; Kneadatite was originally sold as plumber's putty.
