i am using evercoat lightweight body filler on my pick up project. can this stuff be thinned with anything and still harden the way it's suppposed to. thanks al sisson mosheim,tn
i use Evercoat Z-Grip filler and at times you Evercoat Honey to thin it out. i have been useing it like this for years. always works.
They also make Metalglaze liquid glazing putty which is basically liquid bondo. I use it for skim coating. It sands real nice. I have on occasion used it to thin filler a little. Other compaines have similar products. They use the same hardner as the regular filler/bondo. overspray
if it is just kinda firm because it has had the top off for a while, or was opened a while ago , just take the lid off and leave it out in the sun for an hour or two, it will heat up and spread alot easier.
Did you have any problems with it setting up after doing that? Always wondered if it would work, but never tried it...
Fibergl*** resin works well as long as you don't get carried away. You won't need very much, anyway; it will set up just fine. ~ Paul aka "Tha Driver" Giggle Cream - it makes dessert *funny*!
Fibergl*** resin (polyester resin) is the base of body filler. Too much added to the filler will make it to hard or brittle. There are different "cuts" or consistencies of resin, as well as different formulas. The Rage fillers are going to be easier to work with as far as consistency. Try some of the liquid skim coat (Evercoat Metalglaze) for your final shaping or blocking coat. It's a lot easier to work when you just need a thin coat and it sands so nice it's addicting. It's real nice for tight areas that are hard to fill with the spreader. It also is nice for filling imperfections on small parts, dashes, and those custom fabricated pieces. overspray
You might want to try the Rage Gold it's really pretty light and easy to sand, skim it with a little polyester glazing putty and you are ready for some high quality primer.
