mark eggebeen | 05-Sep-20 14:23 | just making sure the wings will line u p!! |
mark eggebeen | 06-Sep-20 16:08 | I need suggestions on a filler for this one...anyone.? |
mark eggebeen | 06-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. |
edbecky | 07-Sep-20 10:19 | 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. |
mark eggebeen | 07-Sep-20 22:33 | I have mixed feelings...the last one took a lot of sanding! a lot!!!! |
Striamed1 | 08-Sep-20 00:56 | 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. |
Don C | 08-Sep-20 10:31 | 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. |
