milliput question

[noname]

I see this stuff used alot for all kinds of things from making figures to banana bread. Well, maybe not banan bread, but alot of things. I see people using their fingers to form it. Just wondering if it is toxic or not? thanks

Hi Matt,

I love Milliput ,it has sooo many uses and not just in modeling terms . Not sure it its Toxic or Harmful , the box just carries an 'irritant ' label over here .I've never had any bother with it and will continuee to use it as long as it stays available

the only bother some is like your making clay pots instead of brown its white or grey ;D

if you are alergic to epoxy if can be very dangerus to you, i work with epoxy grouts in tiling and they are deadly to some peopel, so if you are unsure use gloves. me on the other hand i bult of carbonite notting seem to effect me not even the comon cold.

Thanks guys for your input. I try to play it safe with these toxic modeling tools. I'm not perfect but I try to wear gloves and masks etc. most of the time.

It seems like pretty useful stuff. I gather there are no fumes to worry about? Like Spud said, you may not want it on your hands. I wondered if you tried to form it with gloves, if the stuff would stick to your gloves?

I will echo what Chris said....Milliput is not just for modeling. I used some to fix a leaky pipe temporarily until I could have if fixed properly.

Since it plugged the leak, I wasn't in too much of a hurry to pay to have it fixed and it was well over a year later when I did have it fixed.

When the plumber got done, he asked what I used to fix it with, and told him....he bought all 3 tubes of the Milliput I had....and has since come back to buy more.

Yip...I have done quick fixes on ..sumps, crankcases ,motorcycle engine casings ,gearboxes ...you name it ;D ...its just as good as any cold weld product

Matt ..to answer your question ...no ,I have never noticed any fumes of it ,when handling or rolling out into sheets ...use a little talcum powder ...stops it sticking to everything ,it can be rolled out paper thin
