If you're filling in rough patches, is autobody filler better to use, or will Apoxie Sculpt do? How do you use it? Thanks!
Ive never used Apoxie Sculpt but when i need to get something completely smooth i use auto body filler,..and then sand and then use more filler then sand (repeat and repeat) between sandings ill spray on coats of sandable gray primer so i can see all of my mistakes,..i keep doing this untill the part is perfectly smooth. autobody filler,..usually simply called Bondo, its a gross toxic smelly nasty substance,(i usually use it outside)...you mix a lil dab of the hardener with a glop of the base and mix it untill you get an even color, then you smooth it into you dents/imprefections, once its cured (anywhere from a half an hour to a few min depenfing on how mutch hardener you used) then you can sand it And it takes a loooong time, but the sanding/filling stage is the most important when it comes to making a smooth perfect part, so its worth the extra effort. (ill be getting you those coremold pics soon,..im doing the final body mold this week and it has a hollow core) sorry for the delay on that,.. i finally broke down and bought a pressure/vaccum chamber so i could get perfect bubble free molds. Its amazing!!! but learning to use it has put me a lil behind. ops: take care and goodluck with spot filling!
Thanks so much! As long as I get tips before June, I'm fine. I can't wait to find out more about what you're up to!
Hey Donn! Please! If you have any on line info, Can you send me @ [email protected] or PM me info on the vaccum/pressure chamber? I would really appreciate it greatly!
Mmm... I much prefer Apoxie S to bondo... given my bondo dried fairly quickly, I found that the longer working time and ability to smooth AS with water made it SO much easier to work with.
