Hi Troy,
The nylon line we used was about lb 125 lb breaking strength. We used a
steel scraper, from the local builders merchant, about 4 inch wide and
springy. I'd guess .031 thick and maybe 6 inch long, then a 4 inch wooden
handle. It no doubt has a name but I don't know what it is. Probably used
in plastering.
Fill any deep holes and sand more or less level first, then finish with the
second pass. It took a couple of hours to fill one side of a wing. No real
idea how much we used but a gallon might do the wings?
