Default Re: Need some help with fairing, etc.

I never really understood why you would use the microballons over fibers or cellulose.

I dont know maybe it's heavier then the microballoons/cabosil and in boats folks are always trying to keep the weight down.

Dave yes the cabosil makes it hard to sand and brittle....you just have to keep the ratio just right...more microballoons then cabosil. Glass bubbles and microballoons mean the same thing to me. They may be slightly different between manufactures but to me they are one and the same. Keep in mind I am not talking about finish fairing just areas that need to be built up with a lot of putty. Cant beat quick fair for finish fairing.
