: What's probably happening is that your staples holes are not really
: filled but the 40% you describe, probably have a surface skim
: coat and it just get sanded off. If you feel filling holes is
: good, then use a small knife and push the filler deep into the
: holes.
Also make sure the holes are dust free. The dust will form a layer and prevent bonding of the filler.
