Used to rate heavy metal but heard it went down hill. I'm not a Korda knocker but the dark matter is horse poo, easy to use but literally slips and slides and falls off! I ended up getting one of those cheaper tackles stuff like ‘bank tackle, mosquito' can't remember the exact one, but get more for your money. Harder to work with to get pliable but stays on which is the main thing for me

Yes, he said the German company that now own kryston are now making it to the original recipe. The previous owners messed it up and then passed on an incorrect recipe.
I use three types depending on temperatures, korda in winter, heavy metal spring and autumn, and heavy metal extra when it's been really hot. I don't think it's possible to make one for year round use, the korda one melts in warm water, the hme won't stick in cooler temps. Heavy metal is a decent all rounder but crap when it's cold or really hot

Kryston is still the best iceberg used it for 30 years when they changed hands I worried and purchased several alternative only to be disappointed purchased some more Kryston then stocked up with it and gave the rest away.
Nash Gardner Korda and a couple of others on eBay all pants.

The nash one definitely isnt pants. It's probably the best thing that they make
For me it is second to the original kryston one

For many years used heavy metal as there was very little alternatives. Then started using the Korda one but it comes off very easily especially in weed. Then i tried the Nash cling on, brilliant stuff just stays on even dragging in a huge ball of weed. Best by far and not often ii say that about Nash.

Another vote for the nash from me!
Got 3 tubs in my tackle box, Korda ( doesn't stay on) esp ( seems a bit like chewing gum) and then tried the nash cling on and I will now be binning the rest as nash is the far superior putty IMO

Yes it is sticky to the point where it can cause tangles. They where all crap having used Kryston for 30 years I'm obviously biased and it's still the best

If you leave putty on your made up rigs it will eventually become a sticky mess whatever the brand.
That's why they give you an airtight tub with paper or plastic around it to keep it dry stored.
I've still got some kryston heavy metal from the 90s the white tub with the green writing on and it's not changed one bit compared to a new tub I have.
Probably the densest though you really do have to knead it as it's quite firm - hard work in the colder months
The esp one easier more plasticine like, less dense.
The Nash cling on very easy to work with in all weathers
Each to their own.
