Sculpting Mediums and Materials
Kneadatite Blue/Yellow
Professional Sculptor's Detail Epoxy Putty
Miniature figure sculptors and modelers use Kneadatite (Blue/Yellow), which they have nicknamed "Green", for a number of specific uses:
To fashion the models used to make the molds for miniature pewter figures.
To fill gaps that appear in "built-up" kits.
To customize pieces with added parts not included in model kits.
To make original sculptures
This two part epoxy putty tape is perfect for scuplting just about anything from weapons to complete figures. Before it cures, it is a pliable putty which can be easily shaped. After curing it can be filed, sanded or carved to the desired look.
Formally sold as 'Duroputty'

Kneadatite Brown/Neutral
Professional Sculptor's Detail Epoxy Putty
Kneadatite Brown/Neutral is a room-temperature curing epoxy/polyamide sealant in two-part tape form. It is hand mixable, non-toxic, and cures to produce a metal-hard substance. Nicknamed “Brown”, Kneadatite Brown/Neutral is well known by sculptors for its long work life, non-grainy texture and ability to hold fine detail. It can be cut to achieve hard edges, for sculpting and to build up understructures. Cured models withstand the heat and pressure of up to 4 vulcanizations in the mold making process for castings.

Kneadatite A/B Epoxy Putty Bars
Kneadatite A/B is a two-part epoxy patching putty. Kneadatite A/B is great for larger repairs. It has a long worklife and it smooths out very easily when you add water. The mixed epoxy sets in 50 minutes and can be drilled, tapped, filed, machined and painted.

ProCreate
The unique ProCreate formula allows for easy customization of work life and hardness/ flexibility by varying the temperature and the mix ratio of the Base and Hardener. The Standard mix ratio of 1:1 at a temperature of 75° F (24° C) allows a work life of about 120 minutes. A temp. difference of 20° F (11° C) plus or minus will double or half, the work life. A 40 resin/60 hardener mixture makes a softer, more flexible putty good for organic shapes while a 60 resin/40 hardener mix makes a hard, rigid putty good for machines and hard edges. Also thin sections cure more slowly, conversely thicker sections cure faster.
• No shrinkage • Very easy to smooth • Holds extremely fine detail
• Mixed color of grey allowing fine detail work to be observed more easily with less eye strain
• From the inventors of Kneadatite
