Great work. Youre right about the inexpensive body filler. Going to try this brand. Question??? Can you still use the cheese grater even after the filler has dried? Thanks again.
I like using ever coat light weight. I Use the cheese greater in colder weather below 75 degrees. In hotter weather I Use 36 grit sand paper. To make this body filler easier to sand I mix ever coat metal glaze with the body filler and resin.
You don't have to remove all the 320 scratches in your primer. You can paint over 320 but I would at least sand over with 600 to smooth it out if you don't get all the 320 scratches it will be fine. Appreciate the comment and support!
A good way to keep your filler from kicking fast is to spread it out like you did on the board. A mound will generate a lot of heat and you'll have a paperweight.
I tried using Bondo filler but it's such a pain to work with it's very messy just crap what filler you recommend for like chipped paint and small rust holes? Tia your videos are very informative
those onion boards are the cats meow, I used plastic spreaders until I tried the metal ones,plastic is good for large areas but the metal are sharp and dont flex as much
36 on a block would of been more efficient as far as time and saved a step. Then hit it with some 120 on a da to get rid of the deep scratches. And unless you’ve done a lot of bondo work it’s better to undercut and recoat the entire area trying to feather into a an already established area of bondo will be about impossible for most people, they will sand differently and you’ll end up with a transition that’s noticeable
Im no autobody specialist but i have to say if you skip these cheese grader and simply apply the base body filler smoother and more unified you can save alot of time and headache, but what do i know 😉
Many many moons ago when I was at a autobody shop we all would play jokes on each other. The one joke was when someone walked away from a wet coat of filler was to stick a quarter in it lol 😆 We would only do this one the first coat. Some guys would sit to watch the filler dry lol 😆 It was all done in fun but pay back would be even more fun sometimes. I once got paid back one of the guys squeezed rubbing compound down my pants as I was squatting down, that was a big mess
Good video. But a waste of time on a p.o.s. M. Van. Gide coat??.. straighten it mud it D.A. it primer it paint it. And get that eye sore out of the shop. Look for stuff worth fixing. Chances are it will be back with a dent on the outher side. Lol. JUNK.
@@GarageNoise I NO . Take pride in your work. I just can't get excited about the GARBAGE of today. Then the people with CLASSIC cars don't want to pay you. Unless your chip foose. L.O.L.
@@chriscatarcio2983 I understand. I like to work on cool stuff too. I also like the process of the repair. This mini van was her baby and she was excited about it when it was done.
@@chriscatarcio2983 u sound like a kid..ive been a carpenter woodworker 40 yrs I don't always get to work on a million dollar home with high end trim etc..average homes pay the bills too
@@clinttorres2508 You nailed it. It's important to maintain perspective and remember even the "Old Masters" like van Gogh mostly painted portraits of snotty nose kids and dogs to pay the bills between their rare masterpieces. We should all be grateful for our clients, not too good for them. Pride comes before the fall.
I use all different techniques. Sometimes I put it over bare metal. Sometimes I put it over sanded paint. I know a lot of guys are wanting to put epoxy over bare metal before they apply, body filler these days. But in a production shop that's not always feasible, and to be honest with you, They've been applying body fill over bare medal for years. With no issues, as long as it's done properly
What is your opinion on bondo body filler..I don't see too many professionals using it..what's the pros n cons as u see, since that's all I've ever used..im a non professional
It's ok, it will get the job done. If you use a higher quality filler you won't go back to it. They sand much easier ,smoother which means less pin holes.

You can, but it's just not as effective .

Does the 600 get rid of all the 320 scratches in the primer?

This stuff here is awesome! amzn.to/3Pb66fJ upol lightweight gold
@@GarageNoise I appreciate it brother💪🤝
What’s the difference between blocking at 40 vs 80? Does it differ between vehicles or panels? Or dies it depend on the type of mudd I’m using
40 years ago we called the cheese grater a "butcher file" lol. I'm still happily "butchering" to this day
Haven't heard that one! Lol appreciate the support
@@GarageNoise how about 2 inch putty? Ya heard of that?
I don’t see the sanding block you used on your store? Some of the stuff is no longer available which sucks I want the tape thing
The flexible block? Other stuff should come back in stock.
Great job
👍
What's the best buffer polish for polishing?
those onion boards are the cats meow, I used plastic spreaders until I tried the metal ones,plastic is good for large areas but the metal are sharp and dont flex as much
Metal spreaders are a good option as well. Appreciate your support Richard!
I've seen ppl put a plastic bag or wrap over the Bondo so it dries already in shape.
🤔never tried that.
You are amazing
👍appreciate the support!
thanks
👍
I have also used stucco screen to hold Bondo like in the cab corners it's easy to shape into place
👍
Awesome dude!

Always learning thank you…
Your welcome and thank you for the support!
A great filler shaper is a hack saw blade, it will bend to shape curves. A bit tough on the fingers to hold, but works great IMHO.

I've used surf form 40 years ago

That compound in the pants is epic! Lol
@@GarageNoise yes it was, this was 25 year's ago and I still hear about it. I do not remember how I paid him back
The quarter in the filler is okay, but compound in my pants.. shit would get serious real quick. friends or not

Filler on bare metal 🙅🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️

@@GarageNoise I mostly follow restoration processes, so that’s where I’m coming from.

@@GarageNoise gotcha, there is that..hard to sand n always needs to be glazed over..thanks 👍
I like my proxl ultra fill deep filler easy to sand
