I'll stick with the real stuff, thank you.
Agree, if a risk exists the dollars saved doesn't offset the risk. In your opinion where are the potential risks of using the poster type putty, do these manufacturers generally use a more abrasive filler material or is the risk inherent with the production process and lack of controls which would prevent abrasive contaminants from entering the product?

The Elmer's product I used, if anything, was very mild and required many passes to clean buildup and as long as enough lube was used there was no streaking. The streaking I did get on a dry section easily buffed off with no apparent scratches.
