Plug final surfacing

Is this the poo (I didn't say POO btw!) to buy to cover my plug before final sanding?

Duratec Gray Surfacing Primer - Perfect for Plug Finishing and Hiding Repairs
http://www.fibreglast.com/showproducts-category-category-22.html#12

Or is there something else that is better?

I looked for a product called DuraBuild, but AFAIK it's a UK only product? (I'm USA based)

Alan B. used a home improvement product called Kilz hi-fill primer and it seemed to work ok, but is this Duratec really special?

Featherfill

Mr. G. I used to use stuff called Featherfill epoxy primer, Hi build and really stinky stuff. I use Nason (dupont)Urethane primer now that will hide 80 grit scratches...

i use , upol reface - a high build polyester based paint , its thick so you can brush it on - i recomend you spray it on , its cheapish aswell , and can be treated like normal paint - ie it can be made to shine quite well .




that picture has a blue marker coat prior to sanding .
