For years I've used a mix of 10-12 min. Epoxy, and Micro-Balloons on my RC planes and now on my 601.
Use 10-12 min. Epoxy for some working time, add micro-balloons after epoxy is mixed, a little thicker than putty. Easy to apply, easy to sand, cheaper than Superfil, sticks to anything, drys fast (no waiting overnight)
very lightweight, takes almost any paint or primer.
If for some reason you need to let this level out, use slower epoxy, (30 min.) and less micro-balloons.
Worked great on my Stab tips, ZAC needs a better supplier.
Email me off-list with questions.
