[RCSE] Hand Launch Wing dimples

Recently I started flying a HLG with a wing that is fiberglass over pink foam.

After years of flying built up HLG's, I was surprised at how easy it is

to permanently dimple these FG wings. After only a short time, my wing has

many small dimples (about 1/4" across), especially on the top surface. The

public field we fly out of has dandelions with dimple producing flower pods.

Is it practical to try to fill in these depressions in order to smooth the surface?

Has anyone tried this before. What materials would be used? I thought of

using auto body filler, epoxy with microbaloons, or light weight spackling.

What's the best procedure to sand the filler smooth?

Any recommendations?

thanks,

John
