: Hello all,

: Looking for an easy out..
: Has anyone tried smearing water soluble Durhams wood flour on the
: entire hull after the initial 60 to 80 grit sanding/shaping for
: the purpose of filling gaps ? Scraping with a squeegee, wiping
: excess off with old towels then
: sanding with 120grit after the hull is thoroughly dried? I was
: thinking a light staining after the final sanding to even out
: the color and possibly masking the filler.

: I did this on a bulkhead. When dried - sanded off with the 120
: grit. It worked ok on this small area but hesitant to tackle a
: large area.
: I bought a whole tub of this years ago and thought I might use it.
: The strips were in such poor shape, I see a large task of
: filling coming up.

: Thank you
: Douglas

Hi Doug, + 10 for Malcolm's suggestion ,I saved all the slivers from the 5degree bevel and used them, lots of work but well worth it. Keep on glueing and have fun Nick R.
