I need suggestions on a filler for this one...anyone.?
mark eggebeen06-Sep-20 22:28
on the last one I used spackle (?) but it was soft, so I got some wood filler, but I thing that was too hard. I think it was more for hardwood rather than balsa.

Mark, no expert here but I like to use all purpose joint compound (probably the same or close to your spackle). Looks like you're off to a good start on this one.

I have mixed feelings...the last one took a lot of sanding! a lot!!!!

I have used the balsa filer sold in the hobby shop. More expensive but decent. Sand it then cover with silkspan after. After a final sand, the seams disappear.

OK, I'll chip in too. I use light spackle, at least 2 coats, usually more. If I have trouble seeing if it is really smooth, I shoot on a coat of sandable auto primer. When you sand the low and high spots really stand out. As Striamed said, sand, coat with dope or---, and cover with silkspan. Then more dope and sanding.
