Body Filler

[xavierjer]

Is it just me but does everybody's armor look great when they bondo? I have spent two weeks sanding and adding bondo to the helmet I'm working on and could never get rid of the pits in the bondo after sanding. I would add bondo sand it and then another pit would be in a different spot. Then I found the body filler and in the two weeks of sanding and bondo was taken care of in a few hours today. So my question is, does anyone else use the body filler?

Do you mean the spot putty? Cause Bondo is body filler

 

[Chewbs]

All Bondo is body filler... but depend on which you use and how well you mix it you are going to get a slightly different end result.

i use body filler but it does take some time to get everything smoothed out

You use bondo to smooth, Bondo brand spot putty(or glazing putty I think it's called) is for filling in those little pits. Spot putty is way easier to sand because it doesn't really have to hold-up as much as just fill-in.

 

[xavierjer]

yeah the spot putty is what i am referring to.

If you're using glazing putty then the you should use only like 300+ grit paper. From there you ought to move onto wet sanding with obnoxiously high grit paper(wet sand paper, not dry. You have to buy paper made for it.).
