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 filler after filling proud. Sandpaper is likely to produce ripples.


The trick is to only mix up what you can apply in a minute. That leaves
you 4 minutes to sculpt the stuff with a blade and clean it off your tools.
