I have been working on my new wingtips and was curious to know what to
use as a filler on pink foam. I have made a pink foam plug and will be
laying glass up over the plug. I have been using lightweight
spackeling compound on pink foam since my RC days but is there
something that sets up quicker an
Lightweight BONDO.

Home depot pink foam distorts at 150 degrees. It is not a recommended
substrate for aircraft use. I tested it and tossed out a lot of hard work.

OK, polystyrene. It will dissolve from gasoline, bondo, and most
solvents. You can use it in places where you can be sure it will not be
exposed to gas, and as Bob says, where it will not have loads, maybe the
turtle deck if you must ? You can skin it with epoxy and micro bubble
if you want to
Let me be more specific. Its a foam plug for wingtips and will be
dissolved with acetone after the layups are done. Its just giving me a
shape and nothing else.

Jeff,
In that case, just rough sand the foam, lay up over it directly and fill
your lay ups with micro. Dissolve away. I put it in a composite sandwich for
control surfaces and watched them bend at 150 degrees. Now I use last a foam.

Again, its my fault for not being clear.
I have to fill it some because the shape was complex and difficult to
cut and I ended up with a few hot wire trenches where the wire got
stalled.

I used light weight spackling. It seems to work.

OK, thanks. I did not know if there was some standard among composites
gurus. I will just stick with what works.
