I figured I'd start a new post just on this just to make sure I am using the correct product for my application. I have my thread going "1962 Arkansas Traveler restoration" but I didn't get much of a response on there- I understand not everyone is into, or has the time to read everybody's entire thread's once they get their own projects going.
OK- I am at the point where I have the boat flipped and I am starting sanding on the hull. After I get everything sanded I have "quite a bit" of filling to do. The bottom has been neglected for who nows how long before I got the boat 6 months ago. In the resto process I added an additional 3 layers of csm to the hull, did new seacast stringers and transom, and new deck. 4 months later and here I am:redface:

Is this the corret filler to use for the bottom of my deck below the water line? All the research I did, and according to my boat shop I go to for supplies- it is suitable for above or below the water line. The product is 3m Marine Premium Filler with Scotchlite? Glass Bubbles.

I will be using it for your normal scratches, nicks, and valleys on the keel, bottom of the boat, and sides of the boat.
The boat will be trailered, used on weekends on the lakes, and kept in a garage when not used. The trailer currently has rollers but I will be changing them out to bunks to avoid any pressure spots like the boat previously had from rotted stringers. I will be priming and then painting the boat with pettit easypoxy.
Thanks in advance for your help
