I think I got lucky on this one.

This is a pile of work that shouldn't have been needed, not to mention things like this can add weight on fast!

I like west system epoxy for this. It's a great product that sands well and well suited for this job. The 410 weights nothing and is a great filler that withstands gravity.

What are its advantages over West System's 406 microballoons? I think the biggest difference is the stuff is plastic as apposed to foam. It's a little stronger and will feather to the finest of an edge.
