Tips for working with GS

[IcarusFalling]

Being the impatient type that I am, I\'ve come up with a handy little trick to make green stuff set very VERY fast.

Crazy Glue.

When you\'re finished working the green stuff into the shape that you are looking for, just add a drop of crazy glue to it and quickly and lightly spread it over the green stuff with a tooth pick (the flat kind is what I use)

Anyone else have any other methods to speed up the hardening of GS?

I use an ordinary 60W lightbulb in my desk lamp to cure the putty a little faster.
Interesting idea about the glue, I would have thought it might crack over the surface as the putty dried... but as I haven\'t tried it, I really can\'t comment.

I\'ve actually used this too when doing the rough work on a model... you know when you have to do the first level and wait a day before doing the detail on top? Well I hate having to stop when I\'m in a creative spurt so I\'ve done this before too. Works pretty well, but I use my fingers so it\'s usually not quite as happy in the end for yours truly Cutting off lumps of Krazy Glue is not too fun...

I\'ve also seen it used as a sort of sealant on a finished sculpt. If done properly it does harden really smooth, something a lot of people have problems with when working with the Stuff of Green.

It helps if the bottle comes with a brush, sort of white-out bottle style.
