The point I think Nevel is making is up to a 1/4 of an inch. From one that
is done filling and sanding I will say he is right. When you try to put on
the minimum you end up re-filling waiting for cure then re-sanding. It takes
longer! Just make sure to fill until you cant see the weave anywhere. If it
ends up being 1/4 inch its OK! Easier to sand off a lot once than to
re-fill & sand.
