ORIGINAL: E-Gap
I've mixed PolyCrylic and talc with a bit of distilled water for a good cheap filler that didn't stink up the house. Sands real nice with 400grit. I've applied before and after covering with glass. Fills in the weave nicely.
As a kid, I and my flying buddy , made our own filler with Aerogloss clear and his baby brothers bath talc. Slight blue tint and smelled nice after the buytrate vapored off.

Hi Ray W,
Concerning talc ___I do not know how long my model(s) would smell like a baby's bum ___Hee Hee !
I do not know either who makes talc baby powder else than Johnson's baby powder. Most available at drug stores (pharmacies) is scented. However Johnson also make some unscented talc which is what I use. I did not find it easy to source. After nearly a dozen stores I found it andbought a large container 425 grams.
It works as well as microballoons and is a lot cheaper in price. It also makes a smoother finish than microballoons. Ifthemodel is so light and filling is really needed than use microballoons. It may save 0.01 gram of weight ___ Ha! Ha!
