Have used this stuff for years it's excellent stuff. The only problem I ever had with it was a tendency for it to dry out in the pack while stored. But I found if I put it in a zip poly bag and placed that inside another one and squeezed out most of the air then placed it in the refrigerator it will keep for months and still be fully usable. Have a go. Incidentally it hardens faster if heated for a while.

I saw a video about using epoxy clay on a glass bottle, and I would like to do it myself. However, she uses a different epoxy clay from her region. I'm hoping milliput will work. She first paints the bottle with gesso, let's it dry. Then, she puts glue in spots she tops with the still maliable epoxy clay. I did some research, and it seems adding glue isn't necessary, and all I could find on Gesso was to apply over epoxy clay once it's dried. With milliput, do you need to gesso a glass bottle beforehand and then glue the pieces onto that?

+CursedMonkey Yes exposure to air is your enemy. Wrap it in as many layers as possible & seal away from light & air. However, like all products it has a shelf-life & there's not much you can do to prevent this. Always buy a fresh pack for an important project if you can & from a reseller who restocks often. It's remarkable how differently a new pack behaves to an old or expiring one. The Milliput acts exactly as it's supposed to. If in doubt, just get a fresh recently made new pack. May seem wasteful but it's the only way to be sure of a perfect mix & result. We'd say the shelf-life is a year to two years.

Strange, could be a bad or expired batch. Try mixing in equal parts, place small ball in mircrowave and heat briefly so it warms up and see if a little ball of it dries hard in 6-7 hours. As for what you already applied, try heating it with a hairdryer but if not dry now, wait a day, if still not dry, it's an expired pack. Heat generally speeds things up.

I've never done a full model in Zimmerit using Milliput, but I have seen people use both. Possibly the white one may be better as it's marginally finer, I've also seen people use Tamiya Two Part Polyester Putty and I have personally used Wickes (a DIY Store here)' no more nails' grab type adhesive. The key is to test on scrap first, have a good Zimmerit tool and work in small sections at a time. All these techniques work, if you have the patience. The easiest I have found is grab adhesive like the Wickes one or you can buy something like Tamiya's decal versions or resin type appliqués from other manufacturers.
