Green stuff

What tools do you need and how do you use it.

It's not recommended. But I survive with only my knife, some water, a plate and the best tool on the world! (my own hands). But as I said it's not recomended. If I had enough money spare I'd buy tools too.

first you buy some greenstuff then you open it up and you'll find two ribbons of putty, one blue, and the other yellow, you then cut off a tiny piece of each and mix them with your fingers till the little blob turns nice and green and then your ready to use it for all kinds of stuff!

having a few metel poker and shaper sort of tools helps to shape it and getting things wet(your fingers and tools) means the greenstuff will stick to the mini and not everything else.

thanks for the help. One more question by the way how do you get finger marks out of the green stuff

Ok, some basics about GS.

1. You have the yellow and blue putty in your blister. The yellow putty is the sticky one and makes stuff more flexible.
The blue putty is hardener. As you can perhaps imagine already you can mix each part in different quantities to get different results. More blue will make you GS dry faster and will make it harder so you can sculp better edges and details (even if I recommend Milliput or Brown Stuff for that). So think first before you mix your stuff and make a mix that is most suitable for your project.

2. Cut out the part where the blue and yellow putty meet. It normally reacted already and will ruin your results.

3. The GW tool is fine for sculpting, but I recommend, you get a knife, some tooth picks, needles, tweezers, and perhaps even one of those dentists tools (just ask your dentist and with a bit of luck he'll give you one for free. That's how I got mine)

4. Use an old blister upside down and put that cellular stuff (the grey material) in it. Fill it with water and after the cellular material is soaked, remove the excess water.

5. Keep your hands and tools wet all time or it will be a pain to work, but don't let the GS soaked, as it seem to lose some of its abilities (it appears to get easiliy damaged after if it dried if it was too wet during sculpting)

6. To remove fingerprints, just use your wet fingers and carefully run over the parts with finger prints. Just keep your fingers wet and carfully 'brush' over it

7. Heat lets GS dry faster while cold will keep it flexible for longer times. So try to not hold it in hand too much and try to get a cold light lamp.


And just a little note: Best time for working on GS is after about 15mins if you used a 50/50 mix and don't try to go over 60/40 or 40/60 as it will become really hard to sculpt with such mixings.

I have to agree thanks for your help i understand how to use green stuff now.
