Never had an issue with the heavy metal leaving it on my rigs in my rig board, had some really old ones with the putty on and its never became sticky or stuck to the board.

What putty are people using now?. Nash seems discontinued/ops everywhere.. in fact TFT only have a couple in stock. Maybe try bank tackle, any users?

I've tried most in the last year or so and Thinking Anglers and Atomic are the best out there right now. They are very similar.
I was using the OMC (was the best) until I tried the above.

I bought some a few years ago from Sharp Tackle and it has been very good.

Bumping this thread instead of starting a new one.

Finally ran out of my favoured Nash Putty! And it's out of stock pretty much nationwide it seems.

In the interest of science, I had to buy a couple of alternatives to try. Would have naturally tried the ESP as their other Tungsten type products are pretty damn good - but also out of stock (maybe that's a positive sign?). nb I would never buy anything from 'Atomic' again.

Went for both the Thinking Anglers and the Gardner Critical Mass, as that's all my local tackle shop had in. Strictly, that's not true... They had the Korda one, but it's like tits on a fish... Absolutely blinking useless and about as adhesive as ice - if you've used it, you'll know the score.

Anyway..

Both were circa £8 a pot. Interesting though is the difference in size Vs price.

TA - 7g
Gardner - 16g

Will give them a whirl at the weekend and see how they compare to the Nash.

Cant see past kryston heavy metal, can't really compare it against other brands as never felt any reason to change.

OMC kickers are great too. Much better than the Korda kickers

The Carplife tungsten stuff is good, molds easily and sticks well.

+1 for the OMC putty. Super sticky & find it easier to work with than Kryston heavy metal
