I also had a similar problem with putty. I could never get it to work
properly.
My solution is to thin the putty down.
Take a bit and put it on some paper and then with a small brush I mix in a
little acetone until it softens. I then use this softened putty. I find it
adheres well and is easy to get into small places.
Instead of acetone, you can also use the Tamiya ultra thin glue with it's
"bottle brush". This, however, means that the glue becomes contaminated so
you have to have a dedicated "putty thinning bottle of thin glue". The
brush, however, is almost purpose made because it is small, thin and stiff.
Both systems work for me, and there's no real delay in setting time or
strength either.
Hope it helps.
Like Andrea said, thin it. I use Testor's liquid (clear glass bottle)
cement. Just a coulpe drops should do. You can thin it down to paint
viscosity and brush it on. I found that very helpfull when filling seams on
1/35 and smaller figures.

I find most putties are like that. I frequently discard the putty
right at the mouth of the tube, and make sure to get really fresh
stuff on the tool. It DOES dry fast (but that is good 'cause you
don't have to wait too long to sand it). So make sure you keep
appying fresh stuff and don't let any sit on your application tool-
wipe it clean each time you dip into the tube.
Also, each time I open the tube, I carve out all the stuff near the
mouth and discard that as well.
(Better) Alternatives to putty:
gap-filling super glue (can be wet sanded and polished to a high gloss)
"white out" (typewriter correction fluid) (can be wet sanded)
white glue (Elmers) (can't be sanded! will melt if gets wet!)
BONDO! (two part epoxy paste-- used for real cars)
two part epoxy "clay"
two part epoxy "wood filler"
(I like epoxy!)

Water isn't going to do anything for putty. If anything, lacquer might,
but why take a chance? Buy a new tube..
Do them little glass "microballoons" still exist? Way in the dawn of
time, used to stuff them into the gap and dose with superglue to hold
them. Gave a spongier fill, easier to sand than solid superglue.
Also used to do the same thing with baking soda. Baking soda is a
superglue accelerator, so when you applied the glue to the stuffed up
gap, it would smoke. If you got any of the baking soda onto the tip of
the end of the tube, that was pretty much it for the tubeful.
