I've tested the finisher on top of a layer of foam filler. But looking at the end-result, the foam finisher had a minor result compared to the filler. Applying the filler in a mushy state (by adding water) makes already a smooth result. Having sand-paper dipped in water gets a clear and smooth result. Applying the finisher on top resulted in more bumps again and it was much more difficult to sand it smooth again compared to the filler.

Tub arrived containing a thick, unusable goop. Had to seriously dilute it before it was usable. Product dried to concrete like consistency, very difficult to sand. Not a good surface finishing compound.

Rebuild an old Hobby King Durafly P-47, don't know why I keep it maybe because it was my first RC plane,it have a lot of hanger rash plus a few bad landing gear up landing, with the foam tac I was able to create hinges for flaps and rudder that had torn off the foam filler got rid of all the gashes and use the finish to top it off and when it was sanded it gave the plane a very smooth clean look with a beautiful surface. After a new paint scheme it looked like new.

Great stuff. It fills every hole in the surface. Fast drying and can be easy washed with warm water. After sanding I aplied transparent glossy water based lacquer. It looks amazing. Almost like a plastique.
