I dont get it. I'm sure I stirred the mix up well, and it was thin enough to pour. I stood the hull on end to fill it, before the deck went on. Could bandsaw dust not wet out completely though the particle? I dont like the sanding dust, as it has fibers from the paper in it. The bandsaw makes nice even particles that wet nice, and work smooth.
