Body fillers

I was wondering what would work best for body fillers, i curently use bondo now, It gets the job done but it takes forever to sand, is there something els on the marken that sands better and quicker? Is there a better overall body filler out there, let me know, got a big project a head and i dont really wanna use bondo.....hmmm.... was that the right wire?

I just use rage gold, it sands like butter. Its awesome, I love that stuff its expensive but its worth the extra money. On my next project to get it ready for paint, im going to sand the fiberglass down, then paint the piece with just fiberglass resin, let it harden. Come back and do it again about 2 or 3 more times. That way I'll have just a good thick coat of resin on top of the glass work. It should self level and everything, probably will have to block sand just a little bit but should be way better than putting the rage right on top of the glass. Anyway after I coat it in resin, ill sand it just a tad to rough up the surface. Then do a small skim coat of rage sand and primer, and paint that thing. Learning the trade one fiberglass creation at a time!

How long do you let the Bondo set before sanding? I apply filler and wait for about 15 minutes. It will be soft enough to file (you have to get a feel for it). I go over it with a body file to rough shape right at 15 minutes or so then sand the rest out. Following that you can go to 80 grit paper. Work fast because it hardens quickly from this point. I realize this is a body article, but look down at the picture where he uses a cheese grater body file as soon as the filler starts to setup. This might alleviate a lot of your time sanding!

I think i might go with rage gold, i can get a gallon of it for about 30 bucks on ebay, witch is not to bad, dont know how much it costs in stores but i will check that out. But a buddy of mine has some stuff that he thinks works real well. but all as i know is that my next project i am not using bondo!!!hmmm.... was that the right wire?

i use Rage extreme regularly, and it is the easiest sanding filler i've ever used. also to speed up sanding you might want to try a pneumatic DA sander2000 Chevrolet S10

i got a few sanders, a 6" circular, 1/3 sheet and a 1/4th sheet sander. but i cant use any of those sanders on the small curves of the kickpannels im working on. But i am going to pick up some rage gold today to see how it works.hmmm.... was that the right wire?

3 inch DAs work really good for small and curvy parts, you can pick one up for about 100 dollars.
