Milliput

Milliput

Milliput is a UK-based brand of epoxy putty used by modellers, and also for household and restoration applications. Milliput comes in several different colours according to what it will be used for, and each package contains two separate bars, one of which is a hardener. Upon mixing an equal quantity of each different bar the material starts to harden, and hardens fully in an hour, after which it can be carved, sanded, drilled, and sculpted over.

History

Created in 1968 by Jack and Lena Rickman, Milliput was initially marketed for use in DIY and car body repair projects. In 1970 a young man contacted the small company, informing them that he had been using the material to sculpt models, and recommending that the company steer their product towards the modeling market. The company acted upon this advice and took out an advertisement in Military Modeling magazine, and the product was embraced by modelers on an international scale

Variations

Milliput is available in five different colours; it can, however, be painted with various kinds of paint.

Applications

Milliput can be used for sculpture, making and repairing Miniature models, restoring porcelain and other clay pots, plugging holes or rotted areas in engines, boats, plumbing and other applications.
