Anyone ever used Fix-It putty on FG tubes/fins for the external fillets? I may have to test this on a piece of G10 to see how it sticks.
 
I have used it but not a fan. It seems brittle. Have noticed cracks after a few flights. I prefer Rocket-Epoxy or ProLine for external fillets. I'm sure others will chime in as I have seen other threads regarding same topic.
 
Thanks. I just got some RPxy to try. I was hoping to save some prep time on the externals.

Ditto. It is heavy, brittle, doesn't sand well. It is okay for filling spirals, but still a PITA. Lousy for fillets.
