    What kinds of fillers are there for bubbles in resin?

    Any suggestions for fillers that I can use on my resin heads would be great!

    I have been using auto body spot putty for years, but it's thick and doesn't spread that easy.
    The fumes aren't good either.

    My brother suggested Elmer's Wood filler. He does a lot of sculpting and used to use Bondo/auto body filler and much prefers the Elmer's. You can apply it to very small imperfections and air bubbles and then rub it smooth and remove excess with your finger. Far less toxic as well.

      I used crazy glue, it works, just add little drops and let them dry, that's for air holes....

        At first, using the harder tan resin in my pours, I used the same gray/"neutral" Magic Sculpt compound, I use for sculpting. Moving to the white resin for pouring, pick up the "white" Magic Sculpt for filling. This MS (white) compound mixes up softer and gooier than the MS (neutral). Far too sticky for sculpting in, the white compound does work well for filling.

          Any good air-drying clay should work okay.

            I do the Magic Sculpt way as well. Haven't had any issues and helps to use magnifying goggles and halogen lamp.

                  Thank you all! I have been wondering for a long time, but this tube of Bondo Spot Putty has been lasting forever!
                  The fumes are bad though. It reminds me of Bondo-ing my old cars when I was a teen! Lol!

                    Milliput is pretty good... I don't know if they do it everywhere, but at least locally HobbyLobby has a 40% off coupon in their weekly (Sunday paper) ad so you should be able to try Milliput out for a decent price...
