flouresent lighting does not lie either when sanding. makes low spots stand out like a green fly in a sugar bowl.

Well i guess Im going to claim to be a top guru! We just got this whole system at work. Our 3m rep garunteed no pinholes and a perfect mix every time and so far he is right. The new gun takes a new fancy iso tube which for the do it yourselfer im sure would get expensive but since my boss doesnt mind i dont either.

Since you can lay down just the right amount of mud that you need you use less thus needing less sanding. And it really is a handy system.

long story short though, theres is no replacement for good metal work.

right. that guy seemed like a quack. Yes the system works amazingly. but you cant guarentee that there will be no pinholes. we had about 7 or 8 in a 5x5 inch area. GRANTED the pinholes were probably from the 'tard who spread it on but you cant guarentee no pinholes

The goods outweigh the bads on the machine. but im sorry i'd rather have a gallon bucket of Z-grip and mix my own. The ammount of filler thats in the cartriges on those machines isnt enough and it costs more in the long run to buy more. even with the excess ammounts of filler you have wasted from over mixing, you still have more in a 25$ gallon of Z-grip than you do in a 20$ cartrige of that 3M stuff.

As for answering your question... Take a paint stirring stick around the area where your low spot is and mark the beginning of the low spot and end also and patch in with some filler. by what your tellin us its like what? a quarter sized ding? mix up about a half dollar sized ammount with a little line of hardner and let 'er rip.
