Fairing compound vs. Glazing compound

[Snowfish3]

I am in the process of building a battery box out of plywood. I am going to line the inside with glass so as to hold any spilled liquid and to strengthen the box. My question is could I use DAP (glazing Compound) to fair the corners instead of fairing compound. I will be painting the outside with interlux bilge paint. I don’t usually go the “cheap” route but I can’t think of any reason that this would not work for this application and I don't have any fairing compound at home, thoughts?

I don't know if that will work or not, but I dig the boat name!

Are you considering using the glazing compound as a filet over which you will glass the interior of the box? If so I think it is a bad idea. You want the resin and hence glass to stick to the inside of the box. Using an oil based glazing putty will reject any bond at all. If I have misunderstood you, then please clarify.

Thanks for the reply. I knew that there was a reason. I will go after it with thickened epoxy.
