- About six years ago, I patched a half inch dent in my car with green putty
- and to this day, the filling is still in place. I also use the "green stuff"
- on my R/C scale ships whose hulls are made of high impact styrene or ABS
- resin and have noticed no deterioration of the hull nor any negative impact
- on the paint even though these vessels are continuely handled. I admit that
- the moistness of the putty varies from tube to tube. Some are very moist
- and workable while others are very "dry." I recommend checking the putty
- before purchasing at your local hobby store.
