An excellent tip from Ross and Rob,
*That "Modeling Magician", Rob Owens turned me on to this a while ago. While I was a little scared of pouring superglue on a pile of anything, it has become my preferred filler. Wetsands easier than my old favorite "Squadron White" and reinforces also. Remember its a glue!
In the time I've been using it, I've some up with a couple pointers or tips that might help someone else. I found that using a ceramic tile to mix on worked great. Makes for a nice hard mixing board that is easily scraped clean with a single edge razor blade before the filler is totally dry. An off color makes the mixture show up better. Because you mix it yourself you can control the thickness. Thinner works great as a skim coat or as a fillet. *Another is to tell your family what the white powder is that's starting to show up in piles on a tile next to a razor blade on your work area. My wife was getting worried that I took up a bad habit....other than modeling. *

Salute All!
Steve
