making own marine filler?

[Kracker Jack]

What am I doing wrong? My fairing conpound seems to pulling like its gritty? Its not creamy at all and pulls real rough. Am I adding to much micro ballons? Im mixing the compound to proper consistency using the micro ballons and not using cabosil at all. Should I use cabosil to thicken a little and then add the micro ballons to finish thickening to my consitency? Thanks fellas!!!

this may sound crazy but Poly resin mixed with bondo filler will work too. i've used bondo added to my resin with no bondo hardner just little extra resin hardner.

try either 3:1 or 4:1 ratio MB to Cabosil
