A touch-up point I forgot mention. Spray out some material into a cap
or something and let it evaporate a little in order to have a thicker
material to apply with an artist's brush into the repair.

I spray with an HVLP so my touch-up material is allocated from the
bottom of the mixture, ie: brush dipped down onto the bottom of shelved
material and pull up a blop, add thinned material if needed and drop in repair.

This is also a good method for filling in small dings. Once the coat is on
and set enough according to thickness, you can drop material onto the
dings (lightly) with an artist's brush.  DO NOT do it before you spray as
the 'fill' will not dry properly. (DAMHIK)

When sanding repairs alwas use a hard block with the paper. This will
take down the highs. Soft blocks (rubber, felt, cork) will round over it and
remove too much material from surrounding area.
