The new fillers and high fills shrink because the beaters are too lazy to finish off the repairs with a fine grade of paper like 180.
The guy that works for me is always telling me you can fill 80 grit finishes. Its what the paint reps tell them to do.
I usually go over his repairs with 120 then 180 before i putty up.
