Is this an acrylic paste similar to artist's acrylic modeling paste?

I cannot answer that as there is no indication on the packaging what exactly it is.

Hi Guys.
I recently bought some of the putty after a review in a magazine here in Great Britain.It seems nice to work with and cant detect any harsh odour.Seems a bi like household pollyfilla or Tetrion.Works nice in seams and joints and if not left to go rockhard it sands rather nicely.My recommandation is to give it a try and you will be most pleasantly surprised!!!!.

Darren,
Thank you for this review.
One of my local hobbyshops has Perfect Plastic Putty in stock, so I'm going to try it based on your review.
Merry Christmas!
ESSAYONS!

Jeff I am sure you will be very happy with this product and it should meet all of your requirements. I have used many types of filler in my life and this is by far the best I have used when it comes to general filling of gaps and holes and the sanding down afterwards with the only possible weakness being cured hardness as milliput will always win that medal for me.

I remain a little sceptical as some enterprisers market similar or identical formulas as household repair compounds, or artist's supplies, in much smaller quantities at much greater prices.
