Thread: Evercoat Metal 2 metal?

All fillers have their proper usage, no one is good for everything.....

BTW, the method I suggested came straight from an Evercoat rep a few years back. Never have had a bit of trouble with it when used in this manner..... Also works great as a first coat (again, very thin) when molding in bike frames, etc....

Thanks Dave. I'll see what I can find as far as medium and light weight fillers go. I have a medium one now, but I can't remeber if it has fiberglass in it. I'm at work, so I'll check when I get home. I bought it last year at the auto paint store, so it is a good brand, but not sure which one!

I use all Evercoat products....They have a very good filler with fine strand glass, for a topcoat i use Rage, and a glaze to kill the last of the sanding scratches.... Thing I like best about the Evercoat line is that their fillers do not leave pinholes (unless you mix it too hot), and feather out very nice... I also like thier "featherfill" which is like filler in a spray gun. Takes a lot of air to the gun and a 1.8 or larger tip to spray it. Blocks out very, very well.....
