Will the putty dry out if I only put up a few stars (as rewards) at a time?

I would buy the yellow teacher's kind of tacky if you were going to do that. the putty they give you is not enough and barely holds.

The putty itself seems to be good. There just isn't enough on the package to do them all. I only put up about 20 stars in different sizes, then I ran out of putty. But up till now (2 months), no star has fallen from our ceiling.

I haven't had this issue. There are several open air slats to allow toy drainage, so this helps it get dry rather fast/well.

I cannot answer how well it works as an adhesive but as a filler for cracks in steel or iron it works well. I believe the putty is intended for filling large gaps with irregular surface conditions which would help lock the putty in place. I believe I have read that lightly heating the putty to lower its viscosity will help the bonding/ adhesion to the substrate. The cured material is very strong so plan on using sharp files or aggressive sandpaper. It will finish to a fine finish with proper sanding and can be painted.

I've used Mighty Putty for a few years. I love it for the uses it is advertised. I don't know if it would work as you intend, but I would think not. How heavy are the framed pictures? Do they have wire or some kind of hanging device, or would the Mighty Putty bear the full weight of the frames? That I think it would not do. And there is some slight shrinkage when the putty dries. Why not try the yellow Fun Tac? That would defiitely work for your purpose.

First, be careful of how old the mighty putty is. It dries with age and mixing becomes difficult and incomplete. Secondly, might putty isn't really a "bonder" per se. If you can wrap it completely around something, then yes, but mainly mighty putty is good for when you are missing a piece or part of something that needs to be repaired in order to mold the shape or form that is missing and needed to be repaired. And it IS very waterproof. I have repaired dishwashers with parts that have held up for years. For fresh mighty putty get water weld at Walmart or Autozone.

Yeah, but by "work," I mean that it will stick to the adhesive surface for a limited period of time until the stickiness wears off and then it isn't sticking at all. It's cheap though, and if you can manage to preserve the adhesive and take good care of it, you should be fine.

Probably after it dries really well. A day or so. Call the manufacturer & ask.

Thank you for your question. Yes, the adhesive putty is reusable. Eventually it will not stick as well so it will need to be replaced with new non-abrasive adhesive putty. It will hold securely on most smooth surfaces. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499).

Only if it dries out. If it doesn't dry out completely, you can rescue it by wrapping it in a damp paper towel overnight.

Interesting question. I find that after I print on the disc, it's immediately dry! But I don't trust that, so I just leave it alone for an hour or two, maybe even longer, but it seems as if it's dry right away.

The putty actually does last long enough for all stars you can put the tiniest amount and they will still stick

I waited 72 hrs and insured that everything was as dry as possible. I found other instructions that said as little as 8-24 hours, but I wanted to be sure that I wasn't trapping uncured material under a paint designed to seal moisture and not breathe. BTW it worked and I have had no problems since.

I don't exactly know. Since the paint is water-based, drying out inside the bottle is possible. I don't know the shelf-life on the paint. Upon first opening the bottle, there was plenty of liquid along with the glow substance, so if you close the bottle (tighten the cap) well, it should remain usable for quite a while. After applying the paint, the drying time (24-hours recommended) allows the liquid to evaporate and leave only the glow substance remaining. For my purposes, I applied a few thin coats of clear fingernail polish after the paint drying time, to help seal and protect the glow substance from moisture. I hope that helps. I don't exactly know.

It will become dry. Therefore I add mustard oil to keep it moist plus put a plastic bag on. If not it will get hard and dry after the 2 hours in some parts.

Yes just make sure you have a clean dry surface when you apply the adhesive. If it's not clean and dry it will come right up.

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, the only thing I can think of is to use less putty especially on the smaller stars. They should stay on with even a small amount the size of a ball point pen tip. You may try an arts and crafts store. They may have something similar if all else fails.
