It’s a bondo-like polyester filler that’s much thinner than Bondo and very easy to sand. It would be perfect for the depressions you describe and also works great for seam filling and blending. You have to work pretty fast with it because you’ve only got about 4 minutes or so after you mix in the hardener. It’s typically ready to sand in 20 minutes to an hour depending on the amount of hardener you use. I mix small batches on index cards and use bondo spreaders I’ve cut down to various widths to spread it. It’s compatible with all the stuff we typically use. Automotive paint stores should have it locally or you could just google it and order online. Hope this helps.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Verne<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org [mailto:nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Brian Young<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, January 04, 2011 9:58 PM<br><b>To:</b> General pattern discussion<br><b>Subject:</b> [NSRCA-discussion] Lightweight Filler for Glass Fuse<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Anyone know of a lightweight filler to use for a glass fuse, filling depression up to ~3/32" deep and a silver dollar in diameter?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Thanks<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Brian<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
