What is Kneadatite?
Kneadatite Blue/Yellow (“Green Stuff”) is a two-part epoxy/polyamide sealant/adhesive for interior and exterior maintenance and repair. It has excellent adhesion to stone, ceramic, metal, wood and many plastics, including vinyl. Nicknamed “Green” by sculptors and modelers, Blue/Yellow is well-known for its long worklife, non-grainy texture and ability to hold fine detail. While I don’t use Kneadatite all that much for detailed sculpting, I find that it’s great for adhering parts together, allowing me to then further refine my sculpt using Magic Sculpt. The main drawback is that it’s extremely tacky when curing, so make sure to wear latex gloves and dip your fingers in water to help reduce tackiness.

Kneadatite is a two-part, air-drying compound. It’s primarily designed as a plumber’s epoxy, but artisans have found it to be a great sculpting medium. When mixed, it is pliable and holds it’s shape. It dries in about four hours with a consistency not unlike plastic. We prefer Kneadatite over heat-drying mediums as we don’t risk heat damage to the base figures. (Some of our earlier projects were destroyed in the oven while trying to cure Sculpey.) Also, Kneadatite is very durable when dried. It has a slight flexibility that allows it to “give” under pressure without snapping. We’ve used a number of materials in our time and this is by far the best solution we’ve found. (A special thanks to Yer pal Boneyard for this.) For more information about Kneadatite, please visit the manufacturers site http://www.polymerics.
