- The problem with most filler materials is that they dry so hard that
- when you sand them you get more of the wood around the filler than the
- filler itself. I've found that NHP microfil is soft enough that this
- doesn't happen. The only drawbacks are a) you have to seal it in
- order dope over it and b) you need to wear a mask when you sand it.
