Frank, If you are travelling to anywhere remote and it is a mono, then
apart from a spare inner tube, you should give some thought as to how
you might jack up the plane to get the wheel off. There is an account in
the Europa Flyer about a year ago of Tim Houlihan having to abandon his
plane on one of the Arran Islands in W Ireland. We rescued him a week or
so later having constructed a triangular pad with two prongs which
locates on the U/C arm to give a hard horizontal surface that you can
put any sort of car jack under. Trikes are no problem - you can simply
lift the wing on the puncture side and put any sort of trestle or prop
under it to hold it up.
Regards, David Joyce, GXSDJ

what do you carry?

We have not used either, maybe others can comment.

I have used Super-Fil with great success.
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/cmpages/superfil.php?clickkey=8866
It's prohibitively expensive - but it bonds well, blocks down predictably, fairs
out seamlessly and is exceptionally light.
Pre-warming the application tools (palette knife, straight edge etc.) will ensure
that the filler adheres to the substrate and doesn't "curl up" behind.
Would recommend.

Again, thank you all for the detailed advice on everything. Its good to know that
there are other options in regards to the final filer. Please keep the suggestions
coming.
In the mean time, I'm doing research on Expancel. One thing that I can not find,
or missed in the manual is a more detailed decryption to Expancel, a model number
it you will.
Per this web site:
https://expancel.akzonobel.com/lightweight-fillers/expancel-de/
under "lightweight fillers" there are two types of Expancel DE and WE (dry and
wet). Under each one of those are even more variations.
Example:
Expancel DE - 551 DE 40 d42, 461 DE 20 d70, 461 DET 40 d25, etc.
Point is, I read the description for both and for the most part understand the
difference. However, assuming this company would be willing to sell me some,
I'm not confident as to which version (model number) would be best for this application.
Any thoughts?

I=99ll second Nigel=99s endorsement of
Super-Oilandrecommend that use of it be followed w/
Poly Fiber=99s =9CSmooth Prime=9Dalways a
good idea to use sequential products from the same manufacturer to
ensure compatibilityf.

Hi David. Yes I have built a mono and yes I have come across the article in the
flyer magazine explaining how to construct the simple wooden adapter which I
will make in a week or two.
