Sprayable Body Filler

[Duesey2]

What are you guys filling with this stuff? Just curious as a good metal guy shouldn't need to be spraying filler. Most panels shouldn't need more than a skim for perfection. Does this stuff shrink more than standard filler? I would think it would since normal filler doesn't have solvent evaporation like these sprayables. Only experience I have with featherfill is my grandfather telling me how bad it was in the 70's. It wasn't good from what I remember and he used to say you have no business doing metal work if your using it. He is an old school lead guy that is just now starting to trust plastic fillers. Apparently it wasn't good when it came out. I know my experience is worthless since this stuff has came along way but I was just curious what type of application it's being used for.

Are you this guy? I am looking for the guy that can do this. Even the great Marcels work has to be filled and blocked, just watch Boyds show. The Polyester Spray filler takes the place of the "skim coat" in most situations without the "skim lines" of bondo. Anything requireing a "skim coat" is much better done with PE filler. Shrink wise, when PE filler tightenes up, it is done shrinking for life. The Germans are the best in the world at paint and body and P and B products, and they have been using PE fillers for many years

What Frank Said if you can do this with out blocksanding a few time I've got a BIG PAY CHECK for you. Frank we get Mipa reps coming by us all the time, maybe because we are in Chicago market?? We use Spies Hecker from start to finish, used to use Standox for the last 10 years love it. Spies is same product for the most part just diff labels. PE filler is the best for making a car straight.

Sprayable"filler" is like any other product that is used in the paint and body field.If its used properly and not abused it will work as its supposed to.More often than not paint products get abused in the application process,which often results in the product getting a bad rap.If you use the best product in your price range,and use it as the label instructions say,then the results in the end should be satisfactory for your needs.You can't expect a lasting show quality job for 1/2 price.
