One other note of fillers. If you save some of the find sanding dust while
you are sanding the cedar, you can mix some of the sanding dust and filler
to get a color that is closer to the color of the wood and will hide in
places you can see it. If you use the sanding dust straight, it will be very
dark. You get to play painter while mixing because the color of the wood
varies and matching the color is part of the "art" of building boats.

That's generally volume, but he means you add in a ratio of 2/3 405
and 1/3 407 and enough to make the entire thing be ketchup or peanut
butter consistency (ie. enough filler to get that consistency, but the
ratio between filler & epoxy is unspecified).
