its gotta be sinking somewhere mate , depends how and what u are using, dont use cheap filler cus that will sink like a bitch , and dont rub it down with wet and dry thats wet because that will cause it to sink too, also leave it for at least 12 hours before u rub it down otherwise there aint no point. mark.

use 'stopper' (cellulose putty) to fill pin holes before priming and painting.
