Hey all.

I have my wing leading edges in place and I am almost ready to put the top lamination over my wingwalk areas. That will bring me to filling/sanding the seams and any low spots.

I've been watching a lot of guys use automotive filler and i haven't completely ruled that out but... i'm interested in using a compatable epoxy/micro slurry instead.

I used System Three T88 and clearcoat for the glue up. The exterior of the ply skins are bare wood for now. I was thinking of buying system three epoxy and mixing with microballoons i have already. System Three also sells several filling products, like silvertip quickfair, but i don't have experience using it.

I'm building in a big hangar, things are cooling down here in Ohio, and temperature may soon be a factor.

Please share what you've used and why.
Thanks.
