How long do you guys allow various putties to dry before sanding?
Also, any compatability problems with placing different putties over one another? ex: Tamiya Polyester over Glazing and Spot Putty.
Thanks,

Since I usually apply putty late in a session the model normally waits until my next session. Once that was 24 hrs. but lately it could be a week or more.

On plastic kits, I usually use Testors "red putty", or Bondo "red" Glazing putty (the same product); and I thin it heavily with Testors Liquid Cement. When applied in very thin coats, it is ready to sand in
30 minutes or less.On figures, or other resin or metal pieces, I might also use various two part epoxy putties. Once applied, I place the subject in the oven (heat turned to the lowest setting, and the door left open "a crack"). Once again, it is usually cured within 30 minutes.
