I had trouble with some Superfill but it was very old and near the bottom
of the tin, probably resin/filler ratio was inaccurate due to settlement.
It is easier to use though.
I now use a very sharp wood plane to trim back the filler. Works
beautifully and takes very thin shavings off just like wood but in any
direction. I can start cutting back after an overnight cure too. Got that
tip from here, doesn't one of Bob's boys do it that way?
