I haven, ‘t used that yet, this I have though!

 

Thought I had after sanding pics, but apparently not?

I haven't used it but I do use Evercoat glazing putty.

I personally think that Icing is hands-down the best glazing putty in the business for real cars, and it's my first choice when it's available.

The problem with using it for models is the size of the tubes.

ALL the plastic glazing putty tubes allow the material to dry out and eventually become unusable.

And that is why I use the small modeler-friendly tubes of Bondo Professional Glazing and Spot Putty, PRODUCT # 801

It's catalyzed polyester, like icing, but in a much smaller METAL tube, which helps it last longer.

EDIT: Joe's recommendation appears to be in a mylar tube and is only 8oz, both of which will help it last longer.

If it's as good as Icing, but finer grained, it should be perfect for models.

Thank you. I'll continue to get the  Bondo Professional Glazing and Spot Putty, PRODUCT # 801 then.

I have heard great things about the ICING, but wasn't sure about how long it lasts..

Are you sure this is catalyzed polyester? I've been using it for about a year now and it seems like a regular "nitrostan" putty to me, albeit a very high quality one. I'm pretty pleased with how it works.

There are two different Bondo products.  One is the regular red spot putty, you can snag a tube of that for $3/something in the automotive department at Wal-Mart.  The other is the catalyzed spot putty, the package includes a little tube of hardener tucked in behind the big tube.  The last one of those I bought was about ten bucks, at Auto Zone.  Don't think Wally World carries that stuff.

Ah, now that you mention it, I think I see the the (white?) catalyst tube hiding in Ace's picture. I got my stuff at Wally's, and the tube looks identical to the tube in the picture.

I too bought one of the $3 tubes of red spot putty, even though I've already got the 2-part stuff.  I later got a big tube of 3M white spot putty.  Much more expensive, but I find the Bondo spot putty a bit on the watery side.  The two-part stuff is great though.

[Can-Con]

I've used it. Works great but much too expensive for something I only use about 10% of before it hardens up.

Last time I just bought the smallest tin of lightweight body filler I could find. The tin hold about 1/2 a cup.

  Yes.  I have used it.  Spreads very well.
