I don't like wood glue balsa putty (such as Ponal) as it is too tough to sand. I need something soft and VERY light weight. Do you know what I can use? Thanks.

Where do you buy light spackle and micro balloons? At a general hardware store? eJW e60" Mini Titan - Logictech 2100T, TowerPro Cyclic, Ino-Lab D201 Tail, ***3S1P A123 2300mAh POWA!!*** Walkera 36 - Peace of sh!@~t Correx Mugi, Correx Dazi, Correx Beetle 39" Le Crobe2 JR X2610 | ||

Much easier to sand than wood so you don't damage the original wood you're trying to fill up. It's also incredibly light and waterbased. Heck it's even coloured balsa light brown. Only drawback is it's a little expensive but honestly I bought a little tub 6 years back and have done 10's of aeroplanes and 100's of repairs with it and it's still not even half. Dries out unfortunately but a few drops of water (Yes, take it literally drop for drop..trust me) loosens it up and ready to rock again.

Try it. It's either that or glass balloons. Glass balloons is probably easier to sand, but much more brittle too. | ||
