MARTINSR Jan 19th, 01, 7:19 PM The Martin Senour "Fiber hair" is available at NAPA parts stores under part number 6369 and "Fiber strand" is number 6371 and they are $7.29 a quart and $23.99 a gallon. They are water proof and I have seen them do some wild stuff. One customer repairs the school buses for The Mendicino School District on the coast of California, I mean RIGHT on the coast, 100 yards from the waves. The roofs rust out on the buses and one day I saw him "repairing" it with this plastic filler, he said he had been doing it for years and that the bus will last till they junk it in ten years or so. I since have seen other similar things. I also know of a few people that use it for the first coat of filler in every job, because of how it addhears. It is made by Evercoat so if you see "Kitty" hair and "Tiger hair" you'll get the same thing. ------------------ 1965 Buick Gran Sport Convertible 1965 Buick Skylark H/T Tripleblack68SS Jan 20th, 01, 6:24 AM Martin,What do they use for final application?

The 6371 will not feather, the fiberglass strands are much to long and it is to be used for only the most severe filling or hole filling. Buy only a quart of this product, you will find it's uses are pretty limited around a car. But when you need it you REALLY need it. ------------------ 1965 Buick Gran Sport Convertible 1965 Buick Skylark H/T | ||
