Hey everyone! I'm working on a Warhammer 40k Ultramarines helmet for my son. Looking to smooth out the fine lines between print layers and some small gaps made during assembly, I'm playing around with two methods: Bondo and Wood Filler.

Bondo has been my tried and true method on a lot of projects over the years, but there are a lot of things I don't like about it. It's hard to clean off. It dries really fast and I end up wasting some material. And it makes a ton of dust when I'm sanding. Doing some reading online, I found people talking about using common wood filler to accomplish the same goal.

Take a look and see how the wood filler (MinWax color match, in this case) stands up against Bondo glazing putty. The results are very promising!
