You're totally right. Ordered some 50mm ones... teach me to buy late at night ;)
New question... anyone in the UK found a good alternative to Bondo for filling over the countersunk screw heads? Seems to be pretty pricey over here as not really available but by the same token want something that works well!!

Funny that - that was one of my "bads" during my build. I used wood filler for this - bad mistake - expanded after the paint job - now got lots of annoying bumps. :(
Put it down to experience.
Isn't Bondo just a car filler? Sure you should be able to get some decent filler reasonably priced. Bit of a faff though if you got lots of countersunk heads - either work really fast or mix often :)
I did use flexible caulk for other fill jobs (cabinet panel joins etc) and this seemed to work perfectly well. Wouldn't mess about "bondo'ing" these

Well that's my other question... Bondo do a wood filler as well! So I wasn't sure even if it's the car filler they used or their particular brand of wood filler...
It's funny how these seemingly small things can keep you up at night ;)
stigzler:
No idea. OND's yer man - he seems to love Bondo. ;D

Well, i found a bit of time to do some research earlier and have ordered a tin of "Davids Isopon P38S Easy Sand Filler"
Name is a load of gobbledygook to me, but apparently it's similar, good, and i've found other people who have used it on MDF with success... so lets see!!
