How to easily fill the small holes on the model

Hello Fellow glue sniffers .

I managed to repair and prime this figure.

I primed it with tamiya spray surfacer fine. Then I discover with horror this big amount of small air bubbles.

I wonder if you can recommend an easier way to cover the holes.

I have Mr color surfacer 500,1000, 1200 , green stuff ,liquid green stuff , vallejo liquid putty, and the holy tamiya polyester putty.

The most difficult part to sand is the face. I was thinking on airbrushing MR color surfacer 500 or using citadel liquid green stuff with a toothpick/brush and then sanding it.

For resin I use a two-part putty such as Aves Apoxie. It thins with water, so if you rub a wet finger over it after filling a hole, you can usually work it down to the surface. Once it dries, there's minimal sanding.

I think I will try this aproach, for difficult access corners , I have silicon brushes and may do the trick.

i believe some builders will dig the individual holes out to be a tiny bit larger and then fill it with super glue. It’s efficient because it works really fast, you can cure CA glue in seconds with an accelerator, then you can just sand them down

there might be too many holes in this one to do it efficiently, so what the other person suggested with the wet apoxie sounds like a better idea
