Finishing has never been my thing...I can make a rocket look decent but I stick to the basic krylon spray jobs and basic fillers. My rockets definitely look decent but they're not that perfect paint job--up close you can see filler lines here and there along with your occasional glue glob. I'm not looking for automotive finishes here but I would like to improve my spray can technique so...
What do you use for filling spirals? I know this routine pretty well and use elmers wood filler or even spackling but I'd like to hear what other stuff you may use.
What do you use for primer? Good 'ol krylon? I know a lot of guys used to use Killz. Any good high-build primers out there that might negate body filler on a rough finish?
Finally, what do you use on a fiberglass job when the whole airframe needs filling, particularly a job that's a little rough? I've primarily used bondo body filler...but I can never get a perfectly smooth surface with it. Perhaps it just takes some practice? Any lighter, better suggestions?
Thanks.
