Putty/Filler question

it only works for very small gaps. its preferred to super glue cos its less aggresive in its bond, so it can work for or against you. shrinkage can occur with white glue, but never with zap-a-gap. however, CA is extremely difficult to sand. i usually use Mr surfacer 500 to fill small gaps. just my 2 cents

Reggies right, white glue will shrink quite a bit. As for CA I have found that to minimize sanding you need to make a few passes over the fresh CA with a soft brush dipped in De-Bonder, smoothes the CA down Nicely.

Great! Thanks for the info folks, much appreciated!

de-bonder is acetone, which can be bought at hardware stores or if you cant find straight acetone then nail polish remover with acetone in it will work. if you are getting nail polish remover remember to check that it does have acetone. actually i prefer nail polish remover cos it smells better and also can be used on pimples.
