Fillers for Refinishing
What fillers are you using during the sanding process prior to paint or covering materials? I have to admit I didn't spend much time sanding during a restoration of an old AstroHog but I'm seeing signs of imperfections during the MonoKote covering process. That's OK, I'm not going to start over at this point. For some of my future projects I would like to do a better job.
Thanks,

Thanks I'll check that out.
I've used fillers from the big box stores before. I think I'm not getting it wet enough. Once I get it to stick and dry out good it is easy to sand but sometime it will fall out during sanding process. I will look for the Elmer's brand.

Fresh spackle goes on like "fresh spackle". which should be smooth... If it's a tad hard, mist it with some water and it might freshen it a little bit. If I need spackle, I just spend $4 and go buy it and use what I need. If it's questionable next time I open it, I just buy more. It's cheap Honestly, I rarely need it though.
When your in the store, pick up the tubs and feel the difference in them. The light stuff will feel empty. Always build light when you can. I stay away from putty.. it's heavy. To each his own though.
