I've been using the same pot of Kryston Heavy Metal putty for years as I'm very particular about reusing whatever I can from old rigs etc. However, my once mighty blob, is mighty no more and I need to restock. It's tricky to apply but once worked a bit is good and very weighty. Does anyone have any other suggestions before I buy another pot? I'm sure things have moved on since I bought the last lot. It does seem to be a fair bit more expensive than other brands but seeing how long the last lot lasted that's not too much of a concern. Just wondered if I'm missing out.
Cheers

I got the OMC putty after my Heavy metal ran out , it's not as good as the original KHM.
I only got the OMC stuff after a recommendation on here, and others saying the new Kryston stuff wasn't very good.

Have you tried the newer KHM stuff?

I've used some awful ones and some good ones over the years. Another vote for Nash cling on.
I'm still using heavy metal - still good 👍

If you can get a few guys to club together LCE Tackle in France do fantastic putty. The trouble is postage to the UK makes it too expensive that's why you need to club together.
The way I did it last time I got it posted to a fishery in France we had booked.

I quite like the OMC stuff too. If I suddenly need something.

The new atomic putty is pretty good. Probably best I've seen since the original Kryston.

Nash one here too.
In comparison the Korda one might as well be made of PVA.

How heavy would you say this is compared to the KHM?
Appreciate all the responses everyone

I've been using the esp putty for the past few years & have no complaints.
I need to use very little. It gets nice & tacky quickly between the fingers (insert joke here) & it sticks well.

Tbh I haven't done a direct comparison but I haven't changed the size of the putty on my rigs much at all. Not noticeably to the eye anyway.

Much as I hate to use their gear the OMC putty is excellent - second only to the original Kryston. If you can find it the Atomic rig putty is also v good.
