lightweight, fast drying, easy sanding fairing putty?

[whosmatt]

hi all,<br /><br />i have some large (vertical) areas of pour foam that i need to fair in preparation for glass. the original foam was molded and had to be removed to access the transom for repair. these areas are about 2 sq feet. i need something that is suitable for glass and epoxy and dries to a sandable surface easily. it doesn't need to be strong as the foam and glass are providing the structure. thanks for any suggestions.<br /><br />matt
