Tamiya Light Curing Putty 34g

Tamiya 87076 Light-Curing Putty is a single-component, UV/light-activated modeling putty designed for fast gap filling, surface correction, and small-scale sculpting in plastic model work. Unlike standard epoxy or solvent-based putties, it hardens when exposed to strong light (sunlight or fluorescent/UV light), allowing extremely fast curing times:

• +/- 1 minute in direct sunlight
• +/- 2 minutes under strong fluorescent light

Once cured, it becomes a solid, sandable material that can be:

• cut and carved cleanly
• sanded smooth
• painted with standard model paints
• used without significant shrinkage compared to traditional putties

Key characteristics:

• No mixing required (single-component paste)
• Very fast working time (you shape it, then cure it instantly with light)
• Minimal shrinkage during curing
• Suitable for plastic, resin, and metal models
• Ideal for small gaps, seams, surface defects, and precision repairs

The putty is supplied in a tube (approx. 34g) and has a smooth, slightly yellow paste consistency that makes it easy to apply precisely with tools or spatulas.

87076 is a rapid UV-curing filler putty designed for modelers who want instant hardening and fast surface finishing without waiting hours or overnight curing.
