I agree with Mark. It dries in the tube after awhile. I’ve struggled to push out putty when it started to go bad. Any I managed to get out, I’ll add a drop of water to get it smooth to work with. Gotta make sure the cap is screwed on tight.
I had a hard time finding the PPP stuff locally when my local Walmart used to carry them. Thankfully, I found some at a hobby shop in Syracuse.

PPP reactivates with just a touch of water. I've ripped open tubes and put it in containers with caps.

Yeah... I won't order anything nor support Amazon due to the company's treating their employees like crap.

Nothing, I really like PPP - however I've tried the plastic and metal tubes and I've never been able to use more than 50% before either the tube cracks or it dries out.Medicman71 wrote:Nice work Stuart. What didn't you like about PPP?

Re: Boeing 314 Clipper (1/144 Airfix)
Yeah, sorry guys - I had actually painted it in all over NMF but, I learnt two things:
1. Even in 1/144 it's very hard to brush paint a model this big NMF - even when you can brush paint metallic okay.
2. Whilst the Clipper is a beautiful 1930's aircraft, aircraft this big in NMF are boring!
And then I saw a photo of Churchill's Clipper in wartime BOAC colours and that was that, especially with the sky undersides - sorry
I shall throw myself on something sharp forthwith...
