Dumb question, but for those who know... are 412, 415, and 416 all basically the same material? Thanks.

Milliput is a two-part epoxy filler -- more stable than polyester auto putty, but hard to get these days and expensive as hell. Bondo is fine. It's all about surface preparation.
Tip: if the model will be exposed to water (duh!) you coat the finished filler with thin formula CA to seal the porous filler and strengthen the substrate.

Just as a side not. I too disliked Bondo from my experience years ago, but this past summer, I could not find Evercoat in town so I purchased Bondo Professional Gold. It worked real nice. Close to Evercoat. Good enough that the cost difference makes me say I like it.
If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.👍 1Comment

It stinks like solvent, able to sand in no time and blends perfectly smooth. This stuff is great!
The only major downside I can see is you've got to plan your moves carefully because you've only got about 5 minutes before it starts to set up. Great recommendation though, thanks guys!Dead men tell no tales...Comment
