Does anyone know some sources for Zinc Stearate powder ( to use as lightweight filler )
to add with dope, etc. I think Randy Smith sells it, but am looking for possible
local sources to save on shipping some mysterious powder in the mail to Canada. mw~
Is there possibly anything lighter that will work the same???
Thanks, Stan H^^

I'd like to note that it's cornstarch. :)
Randy Ryan talked me into trying Duplicolor high fill lacquer primer. Seems to work very well and sands very easily.

I buy the stuff in bulk from "The Lab Depot", in Alpharetta, Ga. Although they sell smaller quantities, I bought 5# and it was around $75 including shipping. Five pounds is an amazing volume, and almost certainly a couple of lifetime supplies. That quzantity was shipped in a 3-gallon plastic tub, enclosed in several layers of heavy plastic bags. I cannot imagine there being any difficulty in shipping to Canada direct from the company.

I have used Duplicolor lacquer Filler/Primer for several years. You can get it in the large spray cans AND gallon cans. It seems about identical to Dupont Fill 'n' Sand.
I am also using their Paint Shop Lacquers now since they are avaialble in quart cans and I can get it locally. The down side is only 6 colors and clear (don't know if the clear or colors are fuel proof), but you can mix them! LOL!! So far I have only used clear urethane over it, but I am gong to test Sig Lite Coat and see how it works.
