I bought the aluminum one from harbor freight. I guess mixing on cardboard isn't a good idea. Because the hardener seeps into the material and doesn't mix properly. Luckly I never had an issue prior to buying a real mixing board.

We used a paint shaker to mix body filler in autobody school. No air bubble problems.

6:48 Make it rain!! Dude I died, kevin is Awesome. Keepin it Gangster 😎

very informative, ii'm such a rookie i thought it looked good when he first applied the filler and pressed it as he wiped and said to myself oh like that? then he continued to apply more and more and felt lost after it piled up. what is the rule for applying filler over an entire panel it there a certain thickness it must reach or thinner the better? Also does the metal have be tripped or can there be some paint still present?

Can I use short strand fiberglass on top of epoxy primer

Hi kevin great work that you doin and I have a question for you can I replace the regular body filler with the fiber body filler

This guy is awesome Smart but a riot to watch. Fun video

A question I was curious about was regarding self etching primer. Is it considered to be an "old school" approach to first coating over bare metal? Is it that big of a disadvantage over the new epoxy primer for bare metal coverage?

I have a pretty deep gouge on the metal door panel of my Honda element. Which product would be best for this. It does not need to be perfect.

What do you recommend for an old '72 240Z? The side panel has about a 1/4 inch depth change.

It's a whole lot of product salesmanship. I couldn't believe how much hardener he used in his filler and how much filler he put on the panel. Made for a lot more work than he needed. When you have been doing it for many years you realize that filler builds a lot more than you think it does. Less is better. Less filler, less sanding, less product, less cost. Wouldn't have to go over it with 36grit if he didn't have to sand so much filler out. He didn't look very experienced at administering filler to me either.

What body filler should i used for plastic and wood, i am doing a custom dash for my truck

Does body filler need to be applied to completely clean metal ? Ie. No paint layers left over from sanding, primer ? I guess what im asking is, does every little bit of paint and primer need be removed for body filler to stick to the panel ?

What body filler would you use for a fiberglass corvette.?

Excellent video.

Hey Kevin, have you done any episodes about painting candy pearl,do you do the inside jambs and cab 1st ( on a 67c10), painting the whole outside in 1 shot, or hang all the parts in a line and paint separately,

Can you apply body filler over rust converter? And can you apply body filler over gray primer, regardless of the primer mfg?

Do you spray clear or basecoat with 1.7 tip???

Hi EW. What should I put over a firewall smoothie panel that I welded in place. It is a stitch weld with some holes & gaps. Thanks

use evercoat or duraglass over weld seams its flexible an water proof

I plan on buying the block sending key that you have. The question is what different sandpapers do I need to start out?

Yes! You will need to topcoat with epoxy primer and then move forward with the rest of the prep sanding it and the bed with 120-180 grit.

difference between bondo and filler and the colors is the bondo pink and filler is green when to use bondo and when to use filler thank for ur explanation and tutorials

Hi do you sell 2k primer on spray can? Great video

Hey guys I love these videos.. but I need some help filling over weld repairs. When I weld panels in how do I treat the welded areas? Do you already have a video on it bc if so I haven't seen it yet. Do I use fiberglass filler straight over the welds then primer, or maybe use an epoxy or rust encapsulater over the welds to hold the moisture out then regular filler over that?? I'm familiar with body work other than over these welds. I ask because I've gotten 2 recently with cracked paint/filler over patch panel welds and upon stripping found new rust under the filler lifting it and the paint. Seems to be a common problem and appearantly the diy'ers are unsure and putting plastic filler straight over these welds. Please tell me the proper way asap as I have one to do this weekend and make a video soon. Thanks guys. Btw I'm a faithful Eastwood customer. Love your company.

How would I go about getting trained to work for the Eastwood company so I can become a professional painter eventually because am a novice now trying to learn auto painting.

Do u apply filler on engine? Can u do a video on engine paint with your technique?

Brother man havin fun making it rain

Ok I know nothing about this. I had someone that said they know how to do filler it was only for a small spot where the decals was taken off the side fenders there was 2 holes that need to be filled I watched him mix everything up but he never did take it down to bear metal or even sand it. After watching a few videos. I have found that what he done was wrong. I have already had the vehicle painted how long could this be good for before it fails and comes off. My truck does vibrate from the exhaust and motor.

What's the best filler to use on bare steel? I stripped all the paint off a car to repair all the body panels as well as replace a lot of rotten sheetmetal. While I wait for the sheetmetal to show up, I am working out the debt with a hammer and dolly. Now I need to fill in the small remaining dents and don't have paints to blend into, just bare metal. Thanks.

David Ekleberry You could use the Eastwood Contour Premium Filler or Aluminum-Filled Compound. If you have any pits, don't forget to prep the area with Eastwood Fast Etch, which is going to remove the rust from the pits so it doesn't push back through your filler and paint. Here's a link to the Body Fillers available at Eastwood, and if you'd like to talk to a Tech, you can find info there as well. www.eastwood.com/autobody/body-fillers.html

Shouldn't you spray epoxy on the bare metal first, otherwise it will sweat under the filler and rust?

hi. I mixed and applied bodyfiller with the hardener and I guess I didn't add enough hardner to the mix as it did not solidify and remained pasty. is there anything I can do to this to prevent me from removing all the material and starting over? How do I save all the product already used?

I am working on body filler now. Been working on a quarter panel a couple hours a day for a few days now. I won't have a chance to work on it for a few day so I went over the area I am working on with self etch because there is exposed bare metal. Will sand it off when I get a chance to sand that area again. Is that an ok process to do so I don't get rust on exposed metal?

That's skills I need

I have a bad habbit of taping off the area I'm working on

Every time I mix body filler it set up really fast take a filler put it on the metal tray after I mix it put it about the size of a sauser put harder a little less than half the sauser. Across one stream by time I get it mixed its all ready setten up i even tried less harder same thing

Kevin is a great teacher. #covid192020

once the bondo has been layed down on the surface do you want to add primer right away before you add base

Great videos!

Cheers guys

81 firebird. What would you use on the bumper front and back? I'm sure it's the flexible filler but gotta ask the experts

@eastwoodco

9 ай бұрын

Those bumpers are really good at holding their shape or bouncing back with a bit of heat (even just leaving in the sun on a hot day). You can still use standard body filler like our www.eastwood.com/eastwood-contour-premium-body-filler.html if it's kept thin and on non moving parts. Or if your bumpers are really out of shape consider getting some fresh ones.

Can these be used to hide defects before Powder Coating?

@eastwoodco

Remember, generally speaking curing powder requires heating part to nearly 400ºF, so you would need a specialty filler which can withstand that kind of heat.
