Thread: Glaze question

Tweet

This may seem stupid to some but I have been filling and block sanding my car for weeks trying to get it straight and smooth. I'm using the short strand fibre from Everfill I think it's called (I'm a scatterbrain lately) and I've started to Glaze over with Everglaze metal glaze.

It seems that as I sand it down I sand off all the Glaze with just maybe one or two small spots left over, am I sanding too much or do I need to even use it if the panel is straight with no ridges?? It seems like I'm wasting time and effort skimming it all if it's not necessary, I'm cutting the high ridges with 80 grit and then finishing it with about 120, could I just finish the filler with 120 and then prime with my high fill primer???

Thanks,
Sean

I just use the glaze where it's needed... I break it open with 80 grit, then block with 220, then use the high build and block some more with 220. Guess I can't say if this would be considered the correct method, just what works for me....

Im with dave. But i like the evercoat icing, it sand real nice and easy and leaves no pinholes. JMO

Thanks guys, I was almost done when I read you replies so I figured I might as well just keep going. Got it all blocked out, the interior primed and the seam sealer in so I hope to paint the interior tomorrow and maybe start the exterior the next day.

Sean, if you're blocking and it keeps breaking through that means you've got high spots. Hard to say since I don't have my hands on that block, but if you're this close just use slow mechanical sand strokes.
Never was a Star Wars fan but I have to use this line.....Be One With The Body. It'll let you know hat you need to do. When I'd get to points like this my Dad used to tell me I was like a horse gettin close to home, wanted to hurry up and get there.

the evercoat original work the best i use this stuff very little used it for small marks were if the new panels had small dents from shipping i would metal finsh it and more or less use it like a hi fill primer so it work ok for that were it was a time thing in the body shop the marson platinum works better over all . ice i did not like. it plug up sand paper so you have to go coarser to break the flim on it then if you cut coarser marks in the primer you have sand scratches they may not come up but.it will then the primer and filler shrink back down any one using this stuff like filler was on the fast track out the door at the shop i work at. in the long run your much better on using it very little . if you do use it you are better keeping all filler under you primer that way your not stacking fillers primer fillers sealers . all have thinners to get out of your gun alot of your slower thinners used in you top coats or cold shop the thinner can drive down and move up your fillers some more or less the putty can swim around from the thinners they will work in and move your puttys ......less is better
