Default DAP "Fast n Final" lightweight spackling

Best lightweight balsa filler I have ever found. Easy to apply, easy to sand ,paints very nice.

I mix it with water till I have the consistency of a thick milk shake for making fillets,put some on myfinger and quickly pass over the area to fillet. Best part is if you don't like it, wipe it off with a wet rag !!

I use it as it comes for general filling of dings and boo boo's!

Try it you'll like it ---Bob

Vasek-- I got mine at Orchard Supply Hardware (A Division of Sears) As you probably know DAP is a nationwide brand and you can probably get it at home depots also--Orchard Supply is a closer drive so that's where I got mine!!

I found some by accident at Wal-Mart. This stuff is really lite and just as good as the more expensive stuff sold for model airplanes (Micro Ballons, etc.). The price for a can about as big as a coffee cup was only about $3.00.
