Milliput Mill Pack, Standard Yellow Grey, MPP-1

Milliput is so good, easy to use and rock hard when set. I am never quite sure how to use it without making a mess in doing so but that’s not an issue. I used this batch for filling in plastic models. Once dry very hard but way enough to sand down. This sets yellow - make sure you prime before painting with light colours.

One of the best 2 part sculpting materials on the market, once mixed it is alot softer than other materials so it is quite easy and forgiving to sculpt with. Once its cured it is rock hard so can be sanded and carved. Because it cures rock hard it can be used for small repairs on household items as well.

I was a bit hesitant about buying this thinking I wouldn't have much use for it, but I have found uses for it on a weekly basis, if not more. If you have even a vague interest in DIY and repairing things, you NEED this in your toolkit, no question. Just buy some. You can bodge things that you couldn't even dream of doing with anything else other than perhaps Araldite. I am absolutely kicking myself for not discovering this earlier, the amount of things I could have saved from landfill over the years! It's so forgiving and clean to use, not like Araldite epoxy resin. You just mix two equal parts together in a minute or two (for small amounts, bigger amounts take a little longer) and mould it to whatever surfaces you want to fix. It comes off your hands no problem at all, you've plenty of time to get it how you want it. The manufacturers claim one hour curing time but I always leave everything overnight just to be sure. So far I've used it for: - Fixing holes in a microwave oven cavity - Binding the ends of elasticated shoelaces together in a neat way (black version) - Affixing a metal escutcheon to a wooden door - Fixing plastic parts from a fridge - Installing a magnetic door catch for a drawer on said fridge - Jamming a switch in place to bypass it and more random jobs I can't think of off-hand. It's become a go-to for all sorts of fixes and bodges around the house. The only downside is that the standard, cheapest version is an unappealing grey-green colour but other colours are available if you need a good looking job.

I mainly use this when modelling (28mm/Warhammer scale) - consequently I don't use that much at a time and always end up with leftover bits which I use to make terrain pieces. After a couple of months the grey bar starts to harden on the outside even when you're careful to wrap it as airtight as you can, but you can remove this hardened layer and use the core - it just makes it a little more difficult to get a 50-50 mix of yellow and grey. I have also used it or a number of household repairs & filling jobs for which it is excellent. It does set rock hard and is pretty tough so can be carved/sanded/painted afterwards as required. It's not particularly sticky for bonding to things, but takes to superglue and epoxy well, so you can press it into place, shape it and allow it to harden, the remove it to allow you to glue it into place for a super strong repair.

This is an amazingly versatile product that has so many different possible uses. I used it to create a solid, stepped underlay for a door threshold between my hallway and the bathroom. The floor height between the hallway and the bathroom differed by a few mm and the depth of the threshold gap was hugely uneven across the length, meaning that a standard threshold could not be fitted. I used the milliput putty to create a solid, stepped surface to match the underside profile of an oak threshold I machined. This ensures that the threshold, when stepped on, will not split due to a lack of support underneath. It was easy to mix and easy to use and is able to be precisely moulded to millimetre tolerances. Highly recommended product

Used this to form reinforcement bars under the handle and top lip of a broken cracked freezer drawer. I used the stronger yellow/grey version as it would be hidden and I needed all the strength I could get. The drawer is now much stronger than before and feels like part of the original molding. No sign of breaking off in the freezing conditions (3 months of use). I never thought it was possible to repair cracked thermoplastic stronger than the original (albeit with extra material - so it is not invisible from all angles). To be fair I also used a soldering iron to 'stitch' across the crack along its length and reinforced with a layer of hot melt glue from a glue gun. The Milliput then went on top. As this was my first time with Milliput I followed their instructions and experimented with a small piece first to get a feel for how to work it. I guess it is more like clay than two-part epoxy I'm used to. This makes it easier to work in the later stages and smooth off with a finger dampened in soapy water. It is a bit messy in the early stages so a kept a bowl of soapy water and roll of kitchen paper next to me to clean up as I went. I also used thin latex gloves for the early needing.

This product is outstanding Perfect for minor jobs. It did exactly what it said on the pack and then when sanded down it was smooth and a great repair which so far is waterproof and wipeable. 10/10

I used Milliput to fix a leak in a coolant pipe on a car that's difficult to get parts for. I left it for four hours then checked - it had gone hard. I then left it another 24 hours before driving. I drove a short distance with no heater / fan on, a short distance with the heater on cool, a longer distance on cool, a short distance with the heater on high heat, and a longer distance with the heater on high heat, checking the pipe (carefully, as the engine was hot) and making sure the engine wasn't smoking, each time. As Milliput is heat-resistant to quite a high temperature, it's worked brilliantly. I now keep some Milliput in the car for emergencies.
