I would tend to agree, however, for us with the classic wings , it is
not an acceptable compromise as we have to fill and sand the complete
surface area of our wings too. If we did a wet mix overall, our plane
would be far too heavy, but perhaps with the XS wings, you are allowed
more flexability as most of your filling is done already.
