Best body filler?

[AlanT]

Hi All,

Thanks for your steers on primers. Which body filler and stopper do you recommend? I’d like to avoid too much hard sanding! They are for use over solid metal, not filling rust holes.
thanks

Thats the stuff I have been using, very good, no sinking etc. Dries pretty fast in decent weather. 

For body fillers, I tend to use uPol stuff. But I am not clever enough to really notice the difference between the various types.

Thanks. I’ll look these up

I have, on recommendation, been using upol fantastic (base coat), followed by upol dolphin (medium grade), then upol 'dolphin glaze' (very fine - not to be confused with upol dolphin). All very easy to apply and work. Very good finish. Applied on bare metal. I did have a problem due to expected wet coditions on my bare metal bonnet, so applied 2k primer as protection. Then had to rub back to bare metal again, where filler was needed and deal with on a 'spot' basis but it has gone on great and after spot priming the filler/profiled areas, there appears to be no problems.

Which ever filler/profilers you use, I would recommend keeping with one brand and even if keeping to one brand, make sure of the compatibily of the fillers within that brand. I believe that (for example) that upol do a complete range of 'dolphin' products and that all the 'dolphin' range are compatible with each other but have not researched this fully so please check.

Thanks.
