Tamiya "Light curing" putty

I'm anxious to give it a try, but I haven't seen it in any of the shops I frequent. I'm not sure it's available yet.

I've seen in listed in the inventory for several online hobby stores. The stuff's pretty expensive- over $20 a tube. Still, I'd like to give a try too. I came across a posting on the ARC forum that may be of interest:

Seems like it might be a little hard to work with since I usually work under bright lights. Hhhhmmmmm.....

I've seen light-cured automotive putties, but haven't tried any yet. If I recall correctly, it's cured by exposure to UV light, i.e. direct sunlight or special UV lamps; your bright workbench lights shouldn't affect it.

I once had a fiberglass cast put on my leg and the resin was activated by UV light. Might be the same kind of stuff but that was over 25 years ago. Pete
