Best Filler To Use?

Post by mooncat99 »

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

Cheers

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......... ;D

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.
