			Yea I have the structual filler down pat! I even keep scrap cloth so i can chop it up and add to my cabosil and resin, its strong as all get out. I kinda knew how to make the homemade fairing compound but didnt know ratio( I didn't want to make it to "lite") thanks for everyone's help.

			Should I switch to a vinylester resin to make my fairing compound? Or stick with poly?

			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.
