I sanded between coats 2 and 3, 3 and 4 and 5 and 6.
They now have 2 coats of Sanding Sealer and are finally smooth enough to topcoat.
No, the Balsa Fillercoat is not "defective" or thinned too much either. Same consistency as always.

I've had an SST built for several years. It's sitting with a coat of filler waiting to be sanded. There is so much to sand, it will probably sit there like that for several more years. I love sanding those nooks and crannies soooo much, I want to savor it over a whole decade.
