I would agree with the above with the caveat that the rules change working with very thin styrene, vacuum molded parts, and such. I've messed up (melted) several CMR nose cones using Squadron putty, but I was using the green version. That might be 'hotter' than the white. At any rate, avoid using the green stuff.
