      That was a good idea Ole. (very tempted to do say "that was en go propel you have snittet Ole).

      I might just think about stealing your idea there!

                      I would guess that the plastic has melted because you have put the filler on really thick to get the shape you wanted.I think Squadron fillers still contain Toluene.This is a nasty solvent and is probably what's done the damage,with so much of it being used at once.Best leave it a few days to go off completely.Then repair the damage with more filler(!).

                          The best thing I have found for the sort of thing you've done is Milliput.Although you need to shape it before it dries as it goes rock hard

                              John Sells it. Its very useful. From large thick thins, like you have done here, to ultra thin like tarps and bedrolls.

                              Its very easy to form, dries rock hard and does not shrink. Once shaped it can be smoothed with water. In fact, you can thin it out with water and paint it into cracks, or roll thin strips, push them into the gap and smooth it over with a wet finger.

                              As long as its wet, it can be washed off with water. Once its dry you'll need a hammer and chisel. LOL

                              A very good thing to have in the tool box.

                              I like the idea and I hope that you get it sorted.
