scottb Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Hi all, I've used Milliput before and it's always worked well. I used up my last bit last week (admittedly it's probably 3-4 years old now...but had used the same stuff a month or two beforehand without problems)...the latest batch of putty is still curing!! Anyway, I am looking for any ideas to speed this up? I have tried putting on top of a radiator, but that seemed to make the putty softer! Any idea if Malifaux models are "safe" to put in an oven for a brief period of time? Anything welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paradoxstorm Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 I wouldn't put plastic models in an oven. I can't think why the putty wouldn't have cured by now. But I suspect if it hasn't cured by now it isn't going to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adran Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 I wouldn't put plastic in the oven either, but you could test by using part of a sprue and checking that it didn't melt. If you used the part with the wyrd lettering, it should let you see effects on fine detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Yeah, I'd imagine the setting agent has gone off or there wasn't enough left in the butt you had left. It should have set by now even if you'd left it in the fridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naimless Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Sounds like not enough curing agent and with 2-part systems, basically if it hasn't cured in a couple of hours, it never will. Heat won't help as there is not enough of the second part to compete the cross linking reaction that is the curing process. If you can, remove it and try again with a fresh batch is all i could suggest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
