hi. my ailerons are of wood/fabric construction. I have a fair few staple holes in the ailerons from the clamping processes. I have clear-coated [systems3] the ailerons, but i have dimples where the staple holes are....iv tried filling the holes with t-88, but it sinks overnight...leaving dimples again...

do i need to bother trying to fill? will the fabric covering process hide these minute holes? is there a compatible filler?

..i even thought of buying tooth picks, inserting them with t-88, then sand flush after...whadya think?


thanks

beej
