Re: Fairing compound question

Making your own is the best way IMHO. That way you get the consistency you want, and the working time you want. Easy to do... just use resin and micro balloons and catalyze @ 1 to 1.5%. Mix to the consistency you want Runny or Thick. The more Catalyst you add the faster it will set up. Sand with 60 grit and wash down with acetone so it will have plenty of "Bite" and you'll be fine.

If you don't wanna do that then I'd buy some of this.
