Spot Putty

[SagittariusArt]

Just want to know one little Thing, the Glazing & Spot Putty that you Guys uses from Bondo, what for a Color stand on the Tube and what for a Color comes out of the Tube?

I have a Putty from Presto here, on the Tube stands the Color schould be Grey, but for me its Brown?

Does such Materials have an Expiration-Date maybe???

The Bondo Spot Putty, like you mentioned says the paste should be red.
You can see some pictures Keegan took of a tube of Bondo spot putty here.
The resulting color is something like this...
It's not a primary red, but it is still what you would expect.

I've never seen the Presto Putty first hand so I'm not sure how much color variation is normal.
I'd expect the color not to match perfectly, but if the color is wholly different then it may be dated or have a small tear in the package that has exposed it to air. The most important thing is the consistency. It should be like peanut butter or toothpaste (smooth/creamy like an oil paint). Spot putty does has a shelf life, so if it spreads unevenly, shrinks noticeably, or has globs, I'd take it back to the store for a refund.

I hope that helps, I unfortunately don't have first hand knowledge of this brand XD

Hmm...think a call them tomorrow, the Color is very different, but anyway its chreamy like the Bondo Putty, but it seems a little too much chreamy, like a Skin-Creme.

Yesterday buyed, Package was Airfree, totaly Vaccum. Pastet some of it on three little Testplaces, it hardens like it should be and it not smells like toxic Material or something, smells like that Plastic-Glue for this REVELL-Modells.

But at this Point, i searched for the Homepage of the Company, nope..nothing...nada. Great Product, but nothing more....pfff...should import BONDO Products on my own^^
