3-M stuff is real good. Sands smooth, no bubbles, but a little
brittle. Squardron Green isn't so bad! I put down a nurdle (a precise
measurement, somewhere between "a little" and "a skoshe") of the green
stuff, make a little crater in it and put in some Testors liquid
cement. Mix it up, slap it on, let it dry, and sand. Actually works
great on the smaller spots. So there! HOWEVER, I challenge ANYONE to
come up with a good use for Squadron White.
