    Preparing your putty for use (orange or grey type)

    • Cut the piece of putty in half and work it with your fingers until soft and tacky.
    • Press this lump of putty onto the cap.
    • Place cap onto the Holder and turn it upside down.
    • On clean surface, apply gentle downward pressure whilst rotating the Holder in circular motion.
    • Do this a few times until the putty spreads out to fill the cap and you have a gently sloping even dome shape of putty.
    • This is the optimum form for adhering your miniature to and will ensure that it is held in a level position with maximum grip.

    Cleaning your putty

    To restore the putty to a usable condition, follow these steps. Note that the putty is a consumable product and may eventually need replacement. Avoid using any solvents or soap for cleaning.

    Restoration Steps:

    1. Combine the Putty: Peel the putty from any Caps and combine it into a single piece. This makes it easier to handle and saves time.
    2. Work the Putty: Roll and fold the putty in your hands for approximately one to three minutes until it achieves a uniform color and becomes tacky again.
    3. Prepare for Use: If necessary, cut or pull the putty into equal-sized pieces, then proceed to follow the “Preparing for use steps.”
