In Response To: Material: Filler that is NOT epoxy (Gennie)

: As Im painting the kayak I am currently building I was thinking of using some
: kind of easily sandable filler instead of just filling the cloth with
: ordinary epoxy. Sort of what I see when watching the guys in American
: Hotrod (Discovery channel) fairing the body of a car.

: Any wise comments on that idea from you guys??
: Maybe recomendations on specific products.

Maybe the Evercoat glazing putty. Our local wizard uses this on kayak plugs, etc..
Polyester and vinylester do not bond well to epoxy if that is what you have. You may have to use an epoxy base filler.

Best,
