I just got one ounce of Aerogloss sanding sealer. I've been frustrated with CWF for fin filling lately (warping, pock marks), and wanted to try something new.
Now, I realize I didn't consider a few things.
First of all, I didn't order a brush. I guess I thought there would be one attached to the underside of the cap, like with rubber cement. Oops. Oh, well. I can get a brush.
But I didn't get any thinner, or anything to clean it with.
This stuff looks pretty thick. Am I supposed to brush it on as-is, or am I supposed to thin it before use? If I'm supposed to thin it, what's the ratio? And, can I thin the whole thing, keep it in a container, and use it when I need it, or do I need to thin just what I'm going to need for one project?
Then: Cleaning. I guess I use the thinner for cleaning, but what do I do? Just soak the brush in the thinner and then squeeze everything out with a paper towel? Soak the brush then run it under water?
Also, I've seen other sanding sealers which are not packaged for "rocketry." Will any of these work to get a smooth finish on fins, or do I need to look for something specific? And with non-rocketry sanding sealers, again, do I thin them?
Thanks!
