Hi All
I built a plank on frame tug kit from a well know manufacturer using matrials supplied ,the ply wood needs filling on the surface (not just the joints) can anyone recommend a filler that can be used indoors and is easy to sand.
many thanks in advance
cheers

Ronseal woodfiller is good. http://www.ronseal.co.uk/products/high-performance-wood-filler
It sands more easily than car bodyfiller and takes a good surface. It's OK for filling in grain.
There are alternative methods though, as people will no doubt recommend!

I'm with Colin on this. The Ronseal two part filler is very similar to P38 but sands easier. :-))

As you're working indoors you may want to give this epoxy filler a try, as epoxy based fillers give off far less of a pong than polyester based products.
