| Damn putty seems to have expanded. |

| Mr. Bubblehead:
Water-based fillers can absorb moisture and expand due to a rise in humidity or when something is applied over them. The best solution has already been mentioned, use an epoxy-type filler such as Bondo or fiberglass. |

So on the weekend I sanded everything flat again and tonight went to prime the surface and whatya' know, I got raised bit's of putty again. ::) There was about 10 spots that I re-sanded and I have now applied another two coats of sealer so I suppose now it's a waiting game.... I am as close to smashing this thing as ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- is to swearing. |

If it were me, I would take the time to scrape out the putty and use an epoxy filler. |

Don't really want to but on the other hand I don't want the filler to raise/move after I have applied the side art. |
