Ok, so I might as well share this with my fellow glueheads.
Ever want a fine line of filler but you find yourself limited to the size of the bottle tip on Vallejo's Plastic Putty in a Paint Bottle?

What you need to do is grab the end of paint brush..the finer, the better...I prefer the aluminum type.
Insert this brush end into the putty cap...voila ! Fine filler or welds.
PS- ignore my dirty finger nails..I was painting a few Shermans.




My fireflies ..to the detailing & weathering station!

Good tip, thanks!

Wondering if it could work with an even finer tube?

Cheers,

In the u.k. it comes in a tube with a fine point i did the weld beads on a sherman with it good for wingy things as well.

Comes that way here too, works great for welds. I use it just like a MIG gun.
