Mr.Cheynut Jun 26th, 02, 4:45 PM After 6 months of getting my car for paint, all has failed. Everything seem to be in order when I finish the bodywork. So I went ahead and spray it. Now two months afterwards, small cracks in the filler appear. I'm not very happy over this and thought I had done everything just right. My question is, what might have happened that made it crack and what can I do now to fix it?

Too much hardener will crack the filler faster then anything else. I hate to say it but Ive had a job or two that all I could do pile on the mud, close to a inch Iam willing to bet, and that has not cracked. The fix and the only fix in my mind is remove it and start with fresh. You dont replace it you will be wasting your time. I didnt see what area of the country you are in, but as the weather gets hotter you need to use just slightly a little less hardener...Eric ------------------ 1970 chevelle 1970 chevelle SS455 not a typo its a buick baby 1949 and 1972 chevy trucks http://briefcase.yahoo.com/bc/sevt_chevelles | ||
