- Funny, you're the second person on this subject that says Squadrons green
- is coarse. I've been using it exclusively to fill in gaps in a variety of
- aircraft, and if I am patient (which isn't too often) and let it dry
- I just use a variety of grains of sandpapers to sand it down as smooth
- as the model it self.
