So which one are people using for this application?  Back in Jr. High school 
we used a blue dye that dried so you could scratch a line in it.  I thought 
that's what one would use to flatten a plane bottom.  Can't picture the 
paste, doesn't it just make a mess and smear over the high spots where you 
don't want it?
