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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
