    Any tips for how to apply properly?

    Use a good flexible filling knife. Nothing wrong with what's been suggested but I use pollifila powder and mix up what I need. When the product starts to harden, I wipe over very gently with a damp cloth - never need to sand.

    Follow the instructions on the product. Or ask your Uncle Google.

    Cheers

    You in a good mood today Keystone :rotfl:

    Just looking for the kind of tips that might not be on the packet from those who say they fill without sanding!

    If you apply filler properly there is virtually no need for any sanding down.

    virtually no need = you still need to sand down all be it with a fine grade sand paper
