What have you tried that has not worked and what was the size of the airframe?
Maybe it's process rather than the materials.
That said, one method may work well for modrocs, whereas other methods may work better for HPRs.

I got you beat. I thicken mine to a peanut butter consistency. Works like a charm. No running AT ALL.Technically, you'd pay someone to make professional fillets, right? :wink:
For high performance HPR, I've used West Systems (or your favorite epoxy system) mixed with silica and/or microballoons to a mayonnaise consistency. Then I use a tongue depressor to shape the fillet and clean up any excess. I've also used a popsicle stick and Titebond No Run, No Drip for cardboard/ply MPR/HPR rockets.

I'm going to try epoxy clay for my current build. You can check my Vertical Assault build thread if you want to see how it turns out.
I have used a plastic spoon in the past for shaping, but I'm guessing that won't work for clay. I like the PVC idea!
