ex-USMC_Hornet_WSO Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Can anyone tell me how long it takes Tamiya Basic Putty to dry before you can sand it? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
volzj Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 It depends totally on how thick of an application. I've sanded very thin amounts in 30 minutes. On average 6 hours is usually enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mike C Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 One tip I can give you about Tamiya Basic Putty, it thins very well with nail polish remover. I almost always thin Tamiya Basic Putty before applying. I find it easier to apply, and can require much less sanding later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aggressor01 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 It depends totally on how thick of an application. I've sanded very thin amounts in 30 minutes. On average 6 hours is usually enough. This is what I have found as well. I've even let it sit for weeks before sanding, fearing it would be too hard to sand, it didn't offer any more resistance than normal. This stuff reminds me of liquid Teflon straight out of the tube. The only problem I have with this putty is the ammount of shrinkage. But there seems no way to get a shrinkage free putty because it sets up through evaporation. Time to suck it up and press on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
