Mr Grumpy
What was the name of that very fine ready mixed filler you used on your Zero and where did you buy it?? Or if you are not on the forum now, does anyone else know???

I use isopon p38.. its car filler realy, but good to sand, as 95% of it should be removed , so no real weight addition (it needs mixing as it comes with a catilist)

Thanks Hammerite, that's the one I use mostly but I find that because it's harder than the surrounding wood it can leave a 'bump'. Grumpy had an water based, really fine grained one that sanded really well and weighed virtually nothing.

Hi dave, I use 'Micrex' balsa filler, comes in a plastic pot and is balsa coloured, very light, and easy to sand.
