You could use Super Fil which is another product made by PolyFiber. Using a
resin based filler, could, I emphasize, could, make it harder to sand than the
Smooth Prime, thus, making it harder to get the smoothness you are after.

In my experience there is not. Just color sand with 320 or 400 and go ahead
with the final prep. should work out okay.

Paul, have you tried Tap Plastics "surface curing agent"? Fiberlay.com makes
a premixed fiber/vinyl ester putty like mix. I found it extremely useful when I
was building my fuel tanks

I'm always looking for the perfect adjective to describe the desired
consistency of micro mix. Toothpaste! that's as good as it gets! Thanks Joe

Neal, NOT a slurry., that would be too resin wet, adding unnecessary weight
and it will be difficult to sand. A creamy peanut butter consistency works
best for me. I use 4" wide by three" squeegees made from scrap vinyl
