Yes, after a few years it turns lumpy indeed. I found that out when I was using some very old greenstuff for sculpting a Beast of Nurgle yesterday. For Nurgle spawn it's not such a disaster, though

| Tape tape tape! Use a little strip of tape to cover it, then base it with pva/sand/flock whatever. it's cheap! Don't use your greenstuff just for bases!!! |

| I've just finished this process last week with my new Chaos team and it,s quite simple and fast. First of all I super glued all the players in the bases, wait till it's all dry and fixed. After that I used ''PUTTY'' that i use for plastic modelling that you can find in any hobby store. Then used a little hobby plastic trowel (you can use a little plastic knife) and fil the top of the base with the putty, then do the bottom and fill it also (that way when playing and your player get's knock out you wont see the metal base of the player, you'll get a flat filled base, that will help also fix the player). This putty will dry in around 1 hour, you then you sand it nice with a fine paper sand. Voilà....a nice base all filled you then super glue grass on top of the base.... |

Heh, actually someone had a nice solution, was thinking about the same problem and never came to such an obvious solution  Thanks Torpor. |

You can always try liquitex for it. It is an acrylic paint medium that is very thick (think half dried white glue).
I buy it buy with pre mixed grit in it and you just cover the whole base with it. It dries leaving the base already sanded and the slot filled, then prime and paint away.
saves glueing sand down later. you can also sculp it easily, so you can have riped up turf and/or foot prints on it. |

Search for the answer in your childhood memories...
PLAYDOUGH ! ! ! or some other cheap modelling clay like sculpee. You're just going to paint over it anyway. |

I'm using the DIY stuff meant for filling gaps in the wall. Everytime we move we buy a new tube of the stuff. It gets a bit lumpy after a couple of years, but since it's for the bases it doesn't matter.
I just glue the miniature in first. Then I start filling the slot from the underside. By the time it gets out on top I use a hobby knife to cut it away. All set and done.
Greetings. |

| just pva a square of paper over it... once it's painted and flocked it looks fantastic, also paint sticks better to paper than cellotape so less chippage |
