Smoothing The Rough Spots
When it comes to spreading the filler, try acting like a fine art sculptor. You may want to start off by spreading the filler in the deepest area first, but once those areas have filler in them, go over the area and slightly past the area in question with a nice, even skim coat. This way you will end up with a gradual feathered edge around the rough spots. For a small area like this cowl panel, we figured it would be easier to skim-coat the entire area for best results.
