About Green Stuff..

I'm just curious, does Kneadatite have a shelf life after which it stops working as intended? It's about 18months old.

The reason I ask is that my current stock seems to have yellow granules left over even after I kneed the crap out of it for 10 minutes. And yes i do cut out the middle section where the 2 colours touch on the strip to get rid of the "activated area". ;)

IIRC it does have a shelf life. Mine is a few years old and is simply not useable for any detail anymore. I don't get the yellow granules like you speak of but it just doesn't work like it should.

Thanks for the info.

Hopefully it's just the one box. At the height of my modding I purchased 6 boxes of the stuff off ebay because it was so much cheaper than buying from GW at 9$for 6 inches. The downside is that if they're plagued with the yellow granule issue it means I have 18feet (yes, feet) of GS that I can only for terrain building...

Eh well.

I use it for bulking out as well and then (usually Milliput) over the top.

Speaking of Milliput, I've yet to find a store in Vancouver that carries any of it.

Typically I just get this look, you know, the one that makes you like you're a three-headed alien who just asked if they have 80w plasma rifles in stock. I can't even begin to describe the look I get when I ask for Mr. Surfacer... :shock:

I order the bulk of my hobby supplies online and/or from Japan these days. If you do a big order it works out cheaper (even with postage), plus they have all those exotic tools and materials that we love ;)

You can get milliput on ebay, and ocassionally hardware stores carry it as it can be used to repairing ceramics pipes and a bunch of other uses. I picked mine up at a crafts store (micheals) Granted that's from stores here in the US but you should be able to order it online fairly easy.
