Nice Vids..thanks for sharing. I learned a few things….
Maybe I missed it but what were you using for a mixing board and to clean it? I normally use a piece of cardboard but would rather use something I can clean and re-use instead of tearing up boxes. :lol1
What do you think about using a different color hardener for the second coat so you can see where you have been?
You see the kind of stuff you’re teaching these people Bondo? :woohoo:
I think he said he uses a ceramic mixing board.
I use a Ceramic tile glued to a board with a handle so I don’t have to worry so much about it breaking. (as much)
Used to use onion sheets. But when you go to mix your filler and tear out half the book. It gets old.
Don’t like plastic mixing boards because if you’re too late they’re a pain to clean.
If any gets dry on my tile. I take a putty knife and scrape it off.You’re really not suggested to mix on a porous surface.
They say it absorbs the solvents/resins from the filler.As far as different color hardeners?
I’ve only got an identical mix once. otherwise it is always quite obvious between layers.
And to be honest color and layers doesn’t really matter. it’s all about rather it is level enough before you’re hitting the surrounding surfaces.Guide coat is your friend.
Btw :welc
