                        How bad does that bondo shrink compared to tamiya and squadron putties?

                        I like 3M blue glazing putty used by auto refinishers for scratch filling. It's kinda a bondo like stuff. I get it at the auto supply place. Sands very smooth and leaves no finish variation from the plastic to filler when painting. EJ

                        Yeah " G " 

                         I may go back to that . I just thought I would give it a try . Not bad really .It doesn't absorb the paint and leave a dull spot like the regular model putties .

                        I like it, but I really prefer Bondo Glazing and Spot Putty.

                         Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

                        Okay Now !

                         I thought I would like this stuff . Now I am now so sure . I used very small amounts on sink marks on the Minicraft of Canada model of the Noorduyn Norseman C - well whatever.

                            Anyway , I go to sand this morning and it is almost like trying to sand Cured Super Glue . Although it is soupy , it sure filled well and all , but , really ?
