    I'm using Evercoat z-grip. The hardener I got with it doesn't have any markings on it for a specific brand. Is this stuff universal? Can run out to wally world and get the hardener they sell for bondo brand for example? Thanks, Bill

    Same same. Usually the auto part stores that sell paint, have the tubes in both large and small sizes. Blue is the best color it seems. The red tends to bleed through into the topcoats sometimes. I think it's the peroxide in the hardner that causes that. Stu

    they usually give you the blue hardner with it, it should be in a white tube, as stuDbaker said

    Easier to find the red, but I agree the blue is much better and you can use either one.

    I found the pills work better than creams.















    I should have read the post instead of just the ***le!!!

    Yeah, but with the pills, it won't stay hard for more than 4 hours.:D

    there was yellow stuff that Dynatron once made, it was different.
    every thing else has always worked, even the euro stuff in the foil pouch.
    Unless its gritty, then its bad.
    true story; I once squirted a whole tube into a gallon can of dynatron 494 (low cost stuff) shook it in this old crazy fast shaker.
    Then tried to get in the big hole in the concrete floor, the stuff kicked mid pour, it was glorious.
    we laughed for hours.

    I try to use hardener colors that contrast with the filler so it's easy to see if it's mixed or not. Found this out the hard way when I used blue hardener with dark green filler, only to discover it wasn't thoroughly mixed when I went to sand it. Next time I used white, much better.
