bonding applications any of the adhesive fillers can be used. And for most surface filling, ei- ther of the fairing fillers can be used. Fillers may also be blended for intermediate characteristics. Adhesive fillers 403 Microfibers—For general bonding and gap filling. Epoxy/403 mixtures have superior gap-filling qualities and good strength for most bonding applications while retaining wet- ting/penetrating capabilities. Works especially well with porous woods. Cures to an off-white color. 404 High-Density Filler—For hardware fastener bonding and applications that require maximum physical properties and where high-cyclic loads are anticipated. Also used for gap-filling where maximum strength is necessary. Cures to an off-white color. 405 Filleting Blend—For use in bonding and filleting on naturally finished wood projects. A strong, wood-toned filler that mixes easily and spreads smoothly. Cures to a brown color and can be used to tint other fillers. 406 Colloidal Silica—For general bonding, gap-filling, high-strength bonds and fillets. A practical and versatile, smooth-textured filler. It can be used alone or mixed with other fill- ers to improve workability and smoothness. Cures to an off-white color. Fairing fillers 407 Low-Density Filler—A blended microballoon-based filler used to make a fairing com- pound that is easy to sand or carve while still being reasonably strong on a strength-to-weight basis. Cures to a reddish-brown color. 410 MicrolightTM—A very low-density filler for creating a light, easily-worked fairing com- pound. 410 spreads smoothly and sands very easily when cured. Not recommended under dark colored paint or on other surfaces subject to high temperatures. Cures to a light tan color.

This a general guide to filler selection. Any of the adhesive fillers are suitable for most bonding situations. Either fairing filler is suitable for most fairing situations. You may develop your own preferences for general use or specific applications. 5
