I've bought a tub of this on recommendation and intend to use it on some of the smaller fibreglass repairs on my Plus 2 restoration.
However I'm struggling with finding much about it's usefullness and deployment in the repair of old fibreglass and how far you can 'push it'
For example does it sand smooth enough to take primer or does it require a skim of conventional filler over it or a layer of tissue?
Where would you use it in preference to conventional fibreglass paste?
I have some 6-8mm holes to fill where wing mirrors have been used - would it be suitable for a such a repair? I would propose to bevel the holes on each face and then fill from both sides with the SMC.
Any other pointers or tips on its use would be most welcome.
Cheers
Jon
