The trick with the milliput is to throw it into the microwave for 5 sec or so (depending on size of piece), knead it good, and then apply it underwater immediately afterwards. Mine always sticks real good.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

both bits or do I have to mix them first? the green part is horribly hard to mix while the purple is like chewed gum.

Both together in the microwave, then mix (knead). Softens them up and goes together much easier.

I'm using the Vertex stuff now, although I find it the same as any other I've used. I haven't used one I didn't like. I don't think

Been using Vertex and find it to be noticeably better then others. Softer and sets up better and a lighter color
