Mill Pack, Standard Yellow Grey, MPP-1

I was a bit hesitant about buying this thinking I wouldn't have much use for it, but I have found uses for it on a weekly basis, if not more. If you have even a vague interest in DIY and repairing things, you NEED this in your toolkit, no question. Just buy some. You can bodge things that you couldn't even dream of doing with anything else other than perhaps Araldite. I am absolutely kicking myself for not discovering this earlier, the amount of things I could have saved from landfill over the years! It's so forgiving and clean to use, not like Araldite epoxy resin. You just mix two equal parts together in a minute or two (for small amounts, bigger amounts take a little longer) and mould it to whatever surfaces you want to fix. It comes off your hands no problem at all, you've plenty of time to get it how you want it. The manufacturers claim one hour curing time but I always leave everything overnight just to be sure. So far I've used it for: - Fixing holes in a microwave oven cavity - Binding the ends of elasticated shoelaces together in a neat way (black version) - Affixing a metal escutcheon to a wooden door - Fixing plastic parts from a fridge - Installing a magnetic door catch for a drawer on said fridge - Jamming a switch in place to bypass it and more random jobs I can't think of off-hand. It's become a go-to for all sorts of fixes and bodges around the house. The only downside is that the standard, cheapest version is an unappealing grey-green colour but other colours are available if you need a good looking job.

Milliput is so good, easy to use and rock hard when set. I am never quite sure how to use it without making a mess in doing so but that’s not an issue. I used this batch for filling in plastic models. Once dry very hard but way enough to sand down. This sets yellow - make sure you prime before painting with light colours.

One of the best 2 part sculpting materials on the market, once mixed it is alot softer than other materials so it is quite easy and forgiving to sculpt with. Once its cured it is rock hard so can be sanded and carved. Because it cures rock hard it can be used for small repairs on household items as well.

I mainly use this when modelling (28mm/Warhammer scale) - consequently I don't use that much at a time and always end up with leftover bits which I use to make terrain pieces. After a couple of months the grey bar starts to harden on the outside even when you're careful to wrap it as airtight as you can, but you can remove this hardened layer and use the core - it just makes it a little more difficult to get a 50-50 mix of yellow and grey. I have also used it or a number of household repairs & filling jobs for which it is excellent. It does set rock hard and is pretty tough so can be carved/sanded/painted afterwards as required. It's not particularly sticky for bonding to things, but takes to superglue and epoxy well, so you can press it into place, shape it and allow it to harden, the remove it to allow you to glue it into place for a super strong repair.

Used this to form reinforcement bars under the handle and top lip of a broken cracked freezer drawer. I used the stronger yellow/grey version as it would be hidden and I needed all the strength I could get. The drawer is now much stronger than before and feels like part of the original molding. No sign of breaking off in the freezing conditions (3 months of use). I never thought it was possible to repair cracked thermoplastic stronger than the original (albeit with extra material - so it is not invisible from all angles). To be fair I also used a soldering iron to 'stitch' across the crack along its length and reinforced with a layer of hot melt glue from a glue gun. The Milliput then went on top. As this was my first time with Milliput I followed their instructions and experimented with a small piece first to get a feel for how to work it. I guess it is more like clay than two-part epoxy I'm used to. This makes it easier to work in the later stages and smooth off with a finger dampened in soapy water. It is a bit messy in the early stages so a kept a bowl of soapy water and roll of kitchen paper next to me to clean up as I went. I also used thin latex gloves for the early needing.

Works well, even after years.

easy to use- mix equal parts of two kinds of clay together and it sets hard in a few hours and rock solid overnight. It is very easy to shape and mold. It can also be drilled and sanded afterwards. It will even set in water! Obvious applications are- (1) filling walls where the hole has become too big and you will need to redrill afterwards (say, for the insertion of another raw plug and screw)- something that polyfilla is far too crumbly for. (2) Repairing cracked fish tanks (3) We have used it to fill in chips in cracked plates / cups which are part of an expensive set (afterwards, touched up with a bit of an enamel paint) This worked wonderfully, especially as one can form the shape of Milliput under running water, making it very easy to match the contours of the product one is fixing. (4) Fixing cracked / slightly leaking plumbing There are literally hundreds of uses. Everyone self respecting DIYer / fixer / dad should have some about the house; as well as some Araldite!

The best all round 2 part epoxy for the price. 1) To make using it easier use a lot of water, This will makes things very messy, but worthwhile, as otherwise, it will stick to you and/or your tools just when you don't want it to. 2) If you aren't using it for domestic plumbing, then mixing it with Green Stuuf will give you the best properties of both sculpting materials. 3) If you leave it open and unused for long periods it will become much more difficult to mix, so try and use it up and buy fresh when you need it again.
