I decided to try a new technique: thinned DAP Fast N Final. I've read tips about using Elmers', and I figured the DAP stuff (laying around the house) is similar. So I used water to mix it to a cake-frosting consistency. Then I used a brush to brush it on (a V2 nose cone).
The filler, while viscous in the cup, became rather like runny cottage-cheese upon brush application, almost like the brush sucked the moisture out of the filler. I applied a coat, let dry about an hour or so, and sanded with 300 grit. I still see balsa grain, and I'm not sure how much better/easier this is instead of old fashioned sanding sealer.
Question to all you finishing demi-gods out there: how many coats of this will i need to apply?
