Fairing Filler

Postby shawn13 » Sun Nov 02, 2014 9:44 pm

Im about to do the final coat of finish on my boards before I paint.

I went to the local shop looking for some fairing filler to smooth out the ripples in the fiberglass. They offered me two options. Someone else recommended 410 microlight fairing compound from west systems. Ive also used microballoons to finish the foam before i glassed. Im not sure which option to go with. Here are the two from the store. Can anyone recommend some info in what i should use?
Quick application, easy to sand, prepping for paint.

Shawn any 2 part auto body pulling for finishing will work.. I get mine at car quest for iceing the board for imperfections , I also use a high build primer to help the small stuff too.
