Thanks for the link, very valuable info I appreciate it!Try some acetone based nail polish remover like Cutex on the putty. Use a Q-Tip and dissolve the putty only. You can get some on the plastic but keep wiping it off as over time it will soften the plastic. Good luck.
filling without sanding
I waited about 20 hours for it to dry and mostly used wet sandpaper which I kept rewetting with my fingers from a bowl.Hummm .. the pic is too blurry but judging by what I can see in there It looks like not to be sanded at all. Or the sanding process was done incorrectly.
Did you wait enough long for ful hardening of the putty ?
Did you use some of water while sanding and keeping the sandpaper wet all that time?
That is indeed my worry, I know i applied too much as well over to large an area thanks to my shake. I have spent about two hours sanding and it still looks like I just started. I painted it just to see the errors more clearly.But back to the problem.. I'm convinced Robert did the sanding badly. Not all of the putty excess was sanded down I would say. Also I would say, the applying of the putty was done properly.
I have some of that exact product, but it dries very fast and I found it hard to work with. Can it be thinned with something to make it take a little longer so I can work with it a bit more? My first tube dried out when I left the cap off for a half hour, its that fast!Wasn't aware the waiting time was that long for Squadron, Wojtek! I use this...

Spread in thin coats, it dries and can be sanded in an hour. So far, no shrinkage on any of my models and I've used this stuff for years. It also works well with Andy's (Crimea_River) "filling without sanding" link
