Today hasn't gone to plan!

 

I did some filling last night hoping to come down today and make it all lovely.

 

But the filler hasn't gone off, it's harder than it was when I applied it, but it wont sand.

 

You shouldn't be so tight with your hardner!! LOL

I put less in so I could work it for longer!

 

It's quite cold in there! I've had the heater on for a while and I'm hoping that if I leave it for a couple of days it'll go completely hard

Even give it a waft over with a hair dryer/heat gun, will help get the cataylst going.

Thanks mate, I gave that a go today so hopefully when I go down there next it will be set hard!

The bits I did get done today needed doing so no real issue unless I have to remove it

I've sneaked into the garage this morning to find the filler much firmer!

It should be perfect by the time I next get down there!

i dont know if its bad practice or not but i put a bit of 2K thinners in if im mixing up a big batch of filler to keep it from going off so quick, it makes it easier to work with too, havnt had any bad results from doing it either

Yup, i do that all the time! The guys i worked with taught me that trick during my apprenticeship and they had been in the trade for god knows how long!

I've decided my phone makes the car look better than it it, but the camera seems to make it look worse!
