What kind of silly puddy
So I have been using masking tape and it kinda sucks because I cant cover some parts well and also when I take it off, it takes some of the paint with it. I want to use some silly puddy, but what kind should I use? i tried using some of that play dough, but it does not stick to the kit. So, what kind do you guy's use and is there a web site were I can get some. All I find is that kid stuff which I think would not work.

Oh, I bet you can get it in Portugal.. ask for Putty Parvo. 
'Course they'd probably have you committed.
You can get it from various websites I'm sure.

So, do these things stick good to the kits while being painted?

Just get the regular old fashion pink silly putty. That change color silly putty is to tacky and i dont like using it.
But it will hold its form on a statue fine, unless it sits in a hot room or on for a day. The stuff will sag down.

Is Silly Putty better than Play-Doh?
I noticed Play-Doh dries out pretty fast. Does Silly Putty stay moist longer?

From what I've read you can use it until it's just a big blob of paint. So, Yes it's reusable.
Here's a post from a pro...

Wont stick to the paint by peeling it off, but holds it for the the statue for awhile. unless you are in a hot room or over time can melt with gravity. But if you use it in a few hours session its perfect.
At times i have left it on a statue over night till the next day but had to keep the area cool so it wouldnt melt down. like a hot apartment in the summer when not home having the air conditioner turned off.
Least thats my experience.
