I often wondered what the 'solids' were in that mix...even the MDS
sheet mentions talc.
I'll have to give that a try. Thanks!

Actually, you can use any fine powder. Talc is good because it is
non-absorptive.

Yes, auto (or marine) glazing compounds work wonderfully for smoothing or
filling minor dings. Trouble is, they are expensive so - as homage to my
Scottish ancestry - I make my own by mixing talc with lacquer to the
consistency I want (somewhere between peanut butter and vaseline). It
spreads easily, sands slick as a whistle. I keep it in a lidded can but the
lacquer solvent still evaporates slowly so I just add thinner to
reconstitute.
