Best Filler To Use?
Best Filler To Use?
Hi Guys,
I'm in the process of modding a H/L Tiger 1 and I was wondering what is the best filler to use on the body work for holes, cracks, uneven surfaces that sort of thing and is easy to sand down,
I don't mean for Zim has I have got Milliput for that job.
Cheers Ric.

Hi Ric I use decorators caulk for filling holes up it wont sand down but you can smooth it off when its still wet.

I use Milliput for filling holes and gaps, does a good job of it to, and i did'nt need to buy any because i had some left over from the zimmerit

I use halfords two-part epoxy filler. Easy to mix and it sets really fast. Sands down beautifully too.

i like squadron green good for a filler and if you thin it down you can also use it just like Mr surfacer, and if you read the warnings on the back it,ll turn you into a brain dead mutant zombie if you eat to much of it, great stuff.........

Another vote for the green "stuff". Ideal for filling bad fitting figures, as well as larger vehicle gaps, and can be sculpted into clothing folds with a brush using Mek as a thinner.
