Re: body putty

Tamiya Grey Putty, or Tamiya Epoxy putty depending on the size of the job.

Re: body putty

I use tamiya grey putty like Mike for seams and occasionally holes. But I am beggining to find out that CA cement fills holes very well and sands super easy.

Re: body putty

If it's for a small hole or a shallow sink mark, I use super glue.

Re: body putty

Superglue does work good, the only down to it is that it can be hard to see when sanding.

Re: body putty

thats why you should spray on a layer of primer after sanding to detect flaws

Bondo's Fiber Glass resin is made for mixing into fiberglass.

Re: body putty

You know what works great?

I use SEARCH. It works great for filling gaps very well, pretty cheap and it comes with a money back guarantee. Only problem is that it's kinda cumbersome.

heheh
