RiverMan Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 I'm not very happy with the wood filler I have been using. The only way it works is if I wait a full 24 hours and then it still has some soft spots in it. I have also been using epoxy putty which works great but I am concerned that in some cases it may change the balance on some of my glider baits. I would like a product that dries hard, fast, and has little weight to it....is there such a thing? RM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgodliman Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 I use something called Ronseal wood filler it's fast drying( a few minutes )and weighs less than a butterflies wing.Thats here in England I don't know if you can get it there,but it's hard to believe there wont be some kind of equivalent stuff.

KcDano Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 You might try autobody filler, I have used it on vintage wood lures with no loss in action. In addition, they make 2-part spot putty that works well also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coley Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Try this, very light, extremely hard and ready to sand in seconds. Put a drop of super glue in your hole, add a little baking soda and start sanding. Donot use on balsa. You will sand the balsa away and leave a hard spot.

BassNator 1 Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 I have used for wood filler an Epoxy like product. It is tuff as nails and its called Loc-Tite. Its a two part A & B and needs to be mixed like the Epoxy. I bought it at the local Sears hardware. It dries pretty quick and it is as I said, super hard!

RiverMan Posted July 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Hey some great ideas, thank you! I find on my gliders to get the completely horizontal balance I want it will sometimes be the difference in just a few specks of lead added or taken out. This is why I am concerned about dropping in several large chunks of epoxy putty. Thanks again. Jed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Try Epoxy Plummers Putty. Cures in 5 Minutes and is stronger than the wood you're using it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
