[C38] blister filling compound

[Steve Smolinske]

Max, we used an auto body product called Dolphin Glaze for the smaller
ones and an epoxy based filler for the larger  ones.

Max,
I think the biggest problem in this process is that after all that work
sanding.... you still need to wait a bit to ensure the hull is dry.   A
moisture meter would probably help speed things, but encapsulating
moisture in the hull will only lead to trouble in the future.  sigh.
I think any of the products you mention will work nicely.  The trick is
feathering the edges to give good purchase and a clean look.

After sanding (most painful job ever!!!!!!) all the bottom of the hull
to the bare fiberglass, I have to fill out some blisters and probably do
some fairing before applying the epoxy barrier coat.. 

What filling compounds are good for this job????   Any recommendation
will be appreciated...

I've been looking at System Three QUICK FAIR and 3M High strength
Blister repair filler or the 3M Premium filling compound.. Any
experiences with one of this products????
