It was just leftover from a random job years ago, bags and bags of it were going spare so I loaded up. I now clearly need to bin them off!
In the end the other filler sanded really well, I’ve painted it with zinsser, and walked away happy. I asked £40 and some beers, which means I’m not really out of pocket on materials, and I don’t feel I’m burdened to the quality of the work. If I charge anywhere near full whack, it needs to be completely up to standard (which it isn’t entirely).
Just another lessoned learned along the way. And you’re totally right, give it a day or two once you’re finished and it’s no longer such an insurmountable nightmare.

Sorry to hear you've had one of those days. If it makes you feel any better we've all been there. It usually feels like less of a problem after a few days and you can steel yourself for making it right.
I've never had any TX110 around for long enough to find out if it stopped working. I do measure the quantities of water to filler and use warm water if I want it to dry faster as per the instructions.
