Allen,

Just make your own filler. Mix clear dope with some talc or zinc sterate, add a bit of gray dope to tint it (I actually use black and white dope, but it's the same thing) shoot it on. Makes a fine filler coat.

I am brushing this on. I used clear dope as sanding sealer - two coats with sanding after each coat. It came out nice and smooth.  This is on a wood surfaces. The color didn't go on nicley.  I think it needed to thinned more.  I thinned it some.  We'll see how the next coats go.  We'll will cover the built up wings with Sig Aerokote.
This is for a 1/2 A model - Waco YKS-6 biplane, a Brodak kit.  Thanks for the suggestions.   Any suggestions for thinning dope.  I have thinner.  I think I have it too thin now - yes it's butyrate dope and butyrate thinner.

Orange and black can.  Not much is left, boo hoo.  I like Aero Gloss.  I got the impression, though, that there was some variability to the formula.  I got a batch once that severely cracked when it dried.  Ty may have also been a victim of an errant batch.
