Help with Famowood Original Wood Filler

Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


Can someone give me an idea of what the consistency of Famowood should be? I have some that has dried out and is quite stiff. I have to fill some deep holes (3/8 to 1/2 inch). I have added acetone to it to make it easier to spread, but think it should probably be a lot thinner than I have it now. Any idea what the fresh, new consistency is? Like glazing compound/putty? like peanut butter? even thinner and sort of "sloppy"?

The project is utilitarian with cobbled together parts, so I would like to use the old Famowood (and use it as a learning experience).

Besides filling most of the holes with the regular consistency Famo, does it make sense to use a thin slurry to smooth out the final surface?

I'm relatively new to using fillers, so I would appreciate any suggestions from your experiences.
