On your fill coats do you use the heat gun? Do you also tip off? If so before or after the heat gun? I tried it both before and after tipping off. I can't say I see any difference? What I didn't try was heat gun only.

Would you put an abrasion strip on with tape or can I use 1678 strips? How wide you you make them? There seems to be lots of variations.
