Gave up on Hobby Lobby and pulled an old (putty contaminated) bottle of Mr Hobby S Liquid Cement. We’ve covered ratio and mixing so I decided to use my preferred mix method…on the fly…
Putty on palette 
and drops of liquid cement with the brush and mix to your preferred consistency…it is necessary to work with speed as the small amounts of LC evaporate quickly.
By the time the mix is applied to test strip, it needs to be reactived with a brushing of liquid cement. Rake with Tamiya Zimmerit tool as previously discussed.
My impression is the Mr Hobby S Liquid Cement is some what harsher than Testor’s.
Let’s get medieval…NO Putty just thr contaminated Mr Hobby S Liquid Cement…
Holy Cow, Mr Hobby S doesn’t play around…
That’s sheet styrene which is usually softer than kit plastic but that might work on a kit. I’m not interested in using only LC to do Zimmerit as it should have thickness etc.
HTH
May as well go for broke and attempt Milliput Zimmerit for the turret.
