I used the micro ballon method years ago on another project. You have to mix it to the consistancy of peanut butter as I recall and aslo as I recall I had some problems working it in such a way as to get it to stick. I still have a bunch of it and as for the weight difference, I can not give you any scientific evidence to support my statement but it so light, its almost like working with air if that makes sense.

Is peel ply the way to go for a slick finish and why is there not a good web site for the cosmetics on the KR ? The reason I ask is I attended a composite class while at Sun N Fun and the speaker recommended, after wetting out the glass and sqeegeing off the excess to pour dry micro balloons over the wing and brush it around to fill in the weave. After drying just rake the excess back into the can. He said that this would be lighter than the peelplying method but how much weight are we talking here ? Is there a best way to do this ?
