gives you plenty time to get a level surface - you then let it go off and
then reactivate to polish the surface. Even I can manage a reasonable
finish with this stuff.

Sounds good enough for me, although the reactivate it bit is a little
vague. Would that be done by wetting it again?


Yus. It's also a fraction of the price of proprietary fillers.

And I KNOW where I
went wrong with the car, forgot to PVA it first ;-p


;-). The trick with car body fillers is to have the correct tools to shape
the filler after filling proud. Sandpaper is likely to produce ripples.

Ripples? Dunno about ripples, it was more like the surface of the moon
on a really bad day. Ripples I'd have been happy with.
