Hi all.
Am finishing up some body work. Repaired cracked body filler/surface
rust on slider door and seam rust work on PS rear fender area. Even
pounded out dents at fender well..... interesting!
Will body filler (i.e. Bondo White/lightening) adhere properly to
primer or rust treatment paint such as Tremclad?
I don't mind leaving as is and just top coating with colour, but it
wouldn't take much more work to "button it up" with some filler.
Are there different types (easier or harder to sand) of body filler?
The stuff I used ("Glass lite". I think was the name) set up quite
hard. It is a "short strand fiberglass reinforced filler". In
hindsight, I don't think it's correct for the application I used it
for.
Sorry for such elemantary questions. I will get my Haynes body work book soon!
Neil.
