I recently tried some SuperFil and really like it. I am going to use it
on my XS instead of mixing my own filler. It is also available from
Aircraft Spruce, if anyone can't locate it elsewhere. It comes in two
cans, mixed together in a 2-to-1 ratio, and is a very pale blue when
mixed. It is very easy to apply. I think the weight is about 3.68 pounds
per [US] gallon. I had ordered some of AeroPoxy's lightweight filler,
since AeroPoxy supplies the epoxy used in the US kits, but SuperFil is
both lighter and cheaper, so I'm switching.

My buddy down the way (Chris Staines near London ON) has had his
pre-paont inspection and has recommended to me (When I get to that
Stage) the asbove products. He says the Superfil was VERY much lighter
and easier to work with and sand, that it was quick and clean, saving
him hours of work and much weight. He then used their covering product,
which is water-based and most effective. In additiionm to drying
quickly and spreading smoothly it filled PINHOLES completrely and of
course had all those quaslities of cleanup that water implies.
He is quite demanding in quality workmanship and so enthusiasm from
him is doubly interesting. He is not on email, however.
PolyFiber has a good free catalogue, is good with customer service
p.73), emails www.polyfibercom, or info@polyfiber.com and faxes from
1-909-684-0518. I'm convinced (and no commercial interest here).
Happy Landings,
