Is Sprue Goo Better than Green Stuff for Filling Model Gaps?

Показать описание

I've got gaps, and they need filling, but is it worth the extra effort to use sprue goo instead of green stuff? I'm not so sure...

Thank you to everyone who has left a comment (or will) on how I could have made/utilized Sprue Goo to better effect. I love how helpful this community can be. Clearly I have some work ahead of me, and I think I owe it to Sprue Goo to give it another chance (or 3).

Others have already said what i came her to say, when you dry fit the model and you see a gap, use sprue goo to stick those bits together. Much easier time of it.

I think, however, post assembly green stuff is better

Great video sir.

Imo, there wasn't enough acetone in your goo. I don't have as rough a time applying or spreading it with the tamiya mix I use.
I also don't think you explored the largest pro, that you can use it as an adhesive to gapfill as you assemble the model. I could see it being difficult with the consistency you ended up with, but more solvent should make it convenient to paint on.

I tend to use a bit of glue on gaps and file it, filling the gap with the small plastic bits that the file takes off. Works pretty well but not on every surface. As others said, you definitely needed to thin it down more!
