Good Morning (nice today in New England weather-wise)

Spidey, are you going to use microballoons in the final fill coat(s)? It was suggessted that I use them in the final coats, but I'm not sure when, or how much. Supposedly they help in fairing the final coat. Does anyone recommend them and does it matter if the final finish is going to be varnish vs. paint??

Thanks for any suggestions.

John
