Its brilliant stuff.

It's like a thick paint that can be thinned with water.
You can use it to fill gaps, smooth out imperfections.
About same as paint.
Easier to work with, but cant do thicker pieces unless you use a few layers.

Its something GW "invented" (ripped off of existing products) so people can fix defects with their Finecast models. :P

I couldn't recommend it highly enough.
Gap filling (especially on larger models like Mumakil or Fell Beasts) can be done in a fraction of the time that it would take with normal Green Stuff.

I wouldn't even try sculpting with it though, much better off using the normal stuff for that.

As far as I am aware it isnt actually related to green stuff (apart from being green) and is basically a liquid filler that you can buy elsewhere if you so choose

1. bog sludge and the tears of orphans
2. paint it into small gaps with a brush! also those bubbles you get on finecast minis 90% of the time
3. depends how thick you use it, but it's touch-dry in about 5mins and can be abraded etc after 20 or so.
4. advantages: you use it straight out of the pot, saving you having to mix up a batch of GS just for gap filling, plus it's conveniently viscous and dries quickly
4. disadvantages: not as durable as regular GS, and it's exclusively for smoothing and gap-filling, you can't sculpt with it

So yeah, it's a shortcut to greenstuffing gaps and bubbles, basically.

I love it for very small cracks, but hte moment the gap is around 1mm it is too large for liquid

Try water based wood filler. It comes in much larger containers for the same money. Bondo spot filler will work for larger gaps in resin.You can find Bodo products in the auto body repair department.
