water putty on outdoors application
I do a lot of outside restoration and find myself wanting to return to a
building material that my brother and I used to make a home for our HO trains: water putty. When you're faced with a severely-furrowed, water/sun-damaged surface, will water putty stand the test of time as an exterior product? If not, what will? Of course I'm painting over it. Cheers, -- Uno |

Cheers, If you are talking about the tan powder that comes in a can and is mixed with water then no, I wouldn't use it outside. *You can get the same thing much cheaper by using setting drywall compound. You would do much better using Bondo. *You would do even better using epoxy thickened with whatever. snip Second the Bondo trick. The product has every attribute you need and more. Epoxies are a bit much for the average DIY, though. Anybody ever tried thinset? Joe |
