Subject: sandable filler
Message-ID:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I'm doing some work on an obechi wing w/ a balsa leading edge, and I
have some little depressions at the seam I'd like to fill.
Normally I mix epoxy and microballoons to fill a gap, but I don't want
to sand epoxy smooth or run an iron over it when I finish the wing. =20
Any better solutions? I was considering spackle filler and white glue,
but that sounds low tech - what else is there? =20
Thanks,
Brent
Brent;
I'm quite sure it is Elmers that makes a water soluble wood filler.
You can find it in any of your local hardware stores (Home Depot or Lowes).
You will find it in a white container w/ an orange lid. I've used it on
obechi & balsa with great success. It dries with a wood color and matches
very well with obechi & balsa. You can also thin the filler with a few
drops of water to get it to spread easier.
Good luck with it and let me know how it works out.
