In the above image and video, wargames blogger Teri Litorco shows how she worked out a running gate for her Warhammer 40,000 Tau Battlesuit model using poster putty. Modelers use the putty all the time for this purpose. You can do all of the joining with poster putty, make sure everything is how you want it, and then permanently glue it. Poster putty can be extremely useful when you want to test-fit/test assemble almost anything, from plastic models to wooden furniture. In the above images, you can see the dramatic effect achieved by covering areas of this demon model’s wings for airbrushing. Tabletop Minions has a brief introduction video on using poster putty in model-making. You can also use it to cover areas that will be accepting glue later on so that you’re not gluing painted parts together. You can use it as quick and dirty masking material for airbrushing and other painting (say, to cover an airplane cockpit canopy) and in creating pretty effective, organic camouflage masks. Poster putty is widely used in modeling applications as a mask. Once you start to incorporate the use of this material into your electronics bench workflow, you’ll likely find yourself grabbing it over the hands in many situations. You’ll obviously want to clean your board afterwards, but you would do that anyway. You can press PCBs right down on it and it won’t usually leave any visible residue. And, as is demonstrated in the above video from DIY Guitar Pedals, you can use it in place of conventional helping hands in electronics assembly. You can stick parts into a blob of it that you are gluing together, parts you want to paint or otherwise treat, and you can use it as an impromptu tool/parts holder/pin cushion. One of the great uses for poster putty is as a holder for small objects while you work on them. Showcasing amazing maker projects of 2022 Gift the gift of Make: Magazine this holiday season!
