Next time squish the tube back and forth a few times to mix the putty. It sounds like it seperated a bit. Good idea to wait a day for it to cure. I know it says it dries in 30 minutes, but it takes a lot longer to cure. Depending on how much you have to sand off, start with the coarser stuff, then m...

...I have roughly understood how you did the glue to the model section. Now the other end is the stand to the base. I think the same concept would also roughly do it. Yep, same thing in the base.

It will brush on fine, but watch out for bubbles. They are about the only thing I've seen that will keep it from leveling smoothly. That and cat hair. I don't know about hand brushing matte coats on afterwards, I've never tried it. There are matte and satin clear coats in a spray can. If the brush m...
