I'll bet Gary is using good ol' light weight spackle, and drywall seam tape also. you can't do better than light, smooth and strong. The plane looks real good! The little finishing touches to make the plane hold up better to the SJ 50 are cheap insurance.
Well, Ya got 1/2 of it right
.... I use glass I bought at the local "roofing supplies". The glass is "thinner" than the drywall tape, and it also comes in different size widths. I bought the 12" wide roll, so I can trim to any width I need. I think I paid about $18 for a 500 foot roll. [X(]
I use thin and medium CA to glue it down, and then "fill" with "light weight" spackle. This allows for easier final sanding, and a nice smooooooooth finish!
Try it Snoop.... If you don't have it available where your at, let me know and I'll send ya some. (or anybody else)
