Striamed1 | 28-Jun-20 21:28 | Applied filler with plastic tool.question: how watery should the filler be when applying? |
heywooood | 29-Jun-20 11:08 | I apply initial two rounds of filler without water..just as it comes from the tub.
Then I brush on the Deluxe Sand and Seal. After two hours minimum drying time I can apply the spackle wet and it wont swell the woodgrain beyond the desired amount. You want it to rise a little so you can effectively sand it off. I sand the subsequent rounds of spackle with a swirling motion to ‘round’ the surface - ie: to get the infill to match the radius of the fuselage or wing section and remove flat spots if any. After the filler sessions I apply one last topcoat of Sand N Seal then polish the surface with 320 down to 400 grit - not to sand through the sealer but to flatten and polish it. Then the surfacing primer goes on and is sanded away. Then pigment. |
heywooood | 29-Jun-20 11:11 | Sand between each individual coat of spackle/filler/ sealer. Don’t apply any surfacing product on top of another without sanding first...incase I wasn’t clear before. |
