Mh shrinks so filling can take multiple passes

For most clients, the Painter’s Putty ‘53 in one- maybe two passes in enough for them. For higher end clients, I do 2 passes of wood filler.
When I worked in NC a few years ago doing high-end beach houses, we were working for a really anal GC who did a lot of Level5 drywall houses. Simple 1x4/1x6 casings and base, and lots of shiplap walls and double turn staircases with shiplap walls. We would wood filler all of the seams and nail holes (one house a day), then come back to that house the next morning and sand them smooth with a power sander, and repeat the process where necessary for a second pass. That made him happy, and that’s what I’ve done on high end jobs ever since.
I would say Bondo wouldn’t be bad for a one pass and done, then sand smooth. It just gets really f’n hard and is difficult to sand, so you might end up taking primer off of pre-primed trim trying to sand the Bondo smooth. 🤷🏻‍♂️

havn't had access to it in a while but this reminds me the gork good filla is really excellent
