I have experimented with Super Fill, Jeffco epoxy and West Systems epoxy.
Jeffco epoxy mixed with micro forms a "hard" micro which with hard work is
sandable. I found that Super Fill was usually to thick and I felt would not
bond well to carbon fiber. It seemed to roll up behind the applicator. West
Systems is what the Lancair folks use for body work. It is my preference as
it bonds well to both carbon and itself (when you have to add more micro)
and is reasonably sandable. My body man agrees (35 years experience, but he
still wants to use bondo on my airplane, "it sets up faster"...NOT) as he
has completed the body work on one set of wings and one set of wing root
fairings. I always wet out the area I am working on with epoxy prior to
applying micro.
My .02 cents worth....
