FAQs
Can I use this filler on plastic car parts?
This is primarily formulated for metal automotive panels; check the manufacturer's data sheet for specific compatibility with non-metal surfaces.
How do I clean the mixing board?
While the filler is soft, scrape off excess material. Once hardened, the material should pop off the flexible surface easily, or you can use a suitable solvent cleaner.
Is this filler waterproof?
Polyester filler is moisture-resistant once cured, but it should always be sealed with primer and topcoat to prevent rust from forming underneath.
What is the recommended sanding grit?
Start with a coarse grit (80-120) to shape the filler and finish with a fine grit (240-400) to prepare the surface for primer.
How long does it take to cure?
Cure time depends on ambient temperature and the amount of hardener used, but typically it is ready for sanding within 20 to 30 minutes.
Troubleshooting
Filler is hardening too quickly on the mixing board
Reduce the amount of hardener added to the filler mixture or work in smaller batches to accommodate shorter working times.
Difficulty spreading the filler evenly
Ensure the surface is properly prepped and warm; if the room is too cold, the filler viscosity may increase, making it harder to spread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure the metal surface is sanded and free of rust, dust, or grease to ensure maximum adhesion. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves and a mask, as polyester filler dust can be irritating. After using the mixing board, clean any remaining filler residue immediately before it hardens to maintain the board's surface for future use. Store the filler in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is sealed tightly after each use to prevent atmospheric moisture from degrading the product.
