Question 1

what color does it dry

Accepted Answer

itdries black but when you sand it it turns grey. But a  little polishing or clear coat brings it back to black. We used it to fill in missing pieces from an old Bakelite clock case and it blended with the black very well and has held up.

Question 2

Do you really need to use gloves? Or is that just a suggestion?

Accepted Answer

No gloves. I've done 10+ hours of modeling with this and haven't used gloves. I limit each session to about 40-50 minutes of modeling and then use warm water and dish soap to clean off my fingertips and any tools I use. Keeping fingertips slightly moist with plain water will help from it sticking to your skin, and help keep the milliput more malleable. It doesn't mean you shouldn't wear gloves though.

Question 3

does it dry shiny or matte?

Accepted Answer

It dries to the same finish and color of mixed clay and hardener. Definately more of a matte finish. I have used this material to repair plastic covering my Blazers tailgate door and to rebuild the hinge area of Dog Door. Be aware that cureing takes up to 5 or 6 hours. I found it best to let lt set over night and then machine or sand critical dimensions. Hope.this helps.Rit in the Northwest Hills of Connecticut.

Question 4

I have a BMW motorcycle hard, smooth surfaced, black saddlebag with some tipover scratches I'd like to fill in.  Would this work?

Accepted Answer

As a beemer owner myself (R1200RT), I'd probably recommend against Milliput for that (opting for sandpaper, primer, paint, clearcoat instead).  If you have deep gouges you could probably use this to fill it in, but you'll still need to primer, paint and polish/clearcoat because after you sand it down to match the contour, the milliput will be a dull grey.   I may also opt for Bondo Spot Putty for a gouge instead. Actually, if there's a gouge that really needs that kind of work, I'd just replace the plastic outer-shell (much lower time-cost).
