Best way to fill tiny holes on resin castings?
I have a couple of resin heads that have tiny (air-bubble) holes, most are about the size of an end of a pin... Just looking for advice on what people here think works the best...

Well in my case. I used model filler. It ussually can be found at hobby shops if they sell models. I used the Tester's stuff in grey tube. Apply it. let it dry. Then litely sand with fine sandpaper. Hope that helps -
Hmmmm....
You can also use a drop of superglue, or slather in some 2-part epoxy.

if they are really small i might use superglue or put a primer on it and use vinyl wall compound....... You can wet and smooth it. If they are all over the head, I'll prime it and then make a paste out of the spackle. If they are bigger holes or if they are right on the nose, chin or on the edge of the neck I use epoxy putty like Aves for more structural support. What I like about the spackle is it dries so fast and you can sand it easily...........................Comment

just buy a block of SCULPTY fill the hole and bake at 275 for 10 minutes. By the way got your ape heads the other day. we need to chat about them.

What I do is the sculpty method but instead of baking in oven, I use a blow dryer and a pair of needle nose pliers to grasp the head. Faster than baking and more control of temperature if you are blowing too to cool it down a bit. You can see with your eye the change in the sculpty to indicate it's dry.Comment
