Hey guys,

I need another kt or two from my foil, and I think I can get it by covering the bolt heads once it's together.

Any ideas about something that dries quick, is shapable or sandable, and easy enough to remove?

I heard someone say red cheese wax?

I just put electrical tape over the heads.
Clean surfaces first and it stays on.

So the cheesewax got me over 30 kts ( 3-4 kts extra speed ), i've now put the wax down, with filler on top and sanded it.... pretty much as good as it can be i think.
