Subject: Europa-List: Using Super Fill
All:
I have just had my first go at applying superfil to the surfaces of my
control surfaces. I tested the product on the underside of the trim tab
just in case I goofed.
I am disappointed with the application of this product. I expected a
Bondo type consistency. However this was a bit thicker and difficult to
spread. Temperature in the shop is about 75 degrees today. I am using an
automotive type bondo squeegee to apply this product.
The problem is that it is now going on very smoothly. This leaves
voids and high points on the surface. It looks awful. I was expecting a
much smoother surface. I am attempting to just cover the weave here but
I know there is going to be a lot of sanding to cut these peaks.
And comments or observations using this stuff would be greatly
appreciated.
