Greetings gentlemen,
I’m finished with first layer of Hull planking of Artesania Latina’s “Harvey” 1847 clipper. Successfully, I’d say. A few spots needed a bit of filler to make it “very” smooth (I may be a bit anal here- first build) I used some standard ‘DAP plastic wood’ filler and am not pleased with the stuff. Seems too thick? Not sticky enough? Too clumpy, not easily spread... Anyway, got it on, and smoothed with lots of sanding. Don’t want to use this product again. Looking for recommendations. I’ve done sheet rock work before, and thinking gypsum joint compound might be the right consistency? Anyways, advice appreciated
