Is the red finishing putty a non catalyzed filler ?
Stick with two part fillers and primers. There's less of a chance you'll have problems with shrinkage and blisters later on down the road.
Great point.
Non catalyzed
I had taken that into consideration when I began. It really is being used, as intended, to just fill in the voids before I apply the carbon.
most of the spot filler has been sanded away
The structural adhesive is doing all the work. The carbon and Resin will finish it off and it will never crack again
I’ll let you know how it holds up over the next decade.

I’ll apply the last round of filler over the weekend. Shaping and carbon over the next few weeks once it warms up.
Completed everything today (except for the stuff I need to do in the spring) and wanted to share my approach to a leak free wing and deck plate. I used the same stuff 5+ years ago and never a leak.

I applied it around the deck plate and at the base of the stanchions. I also replaced the small rubber o-rings.
I also applied a small piece behind the seams to ensure a solid seam. This stuff is NOT an adhesive. It’s like plumbers putty. It doesn’t get crazy hard and it’s easy to remove.
when you tighten down the deck plate, this stuff will compress and take up any irregularities.
