Do they sell white colored Bondo or body filler? I will be getting a white gel coated plane soon and want to prepare.

Thanks,

Billy

Billy,

I think most of the Bondo is white or whitish, it's the hardner (usually blue or red?) that tints it. There is a "white" hardener (BONDO# 20058) that should do the trick for you. I have never used the white hardener, so I can't comment on its use.

Hope this helps.

YOU CAN USE MEK HARDENER. THE STUFF THATS USED WHEN YOU FIBERGLASS,, POLYESTER HARDENER..MIX IT IN GOOD.. HARD TO SEE IF ITS MIXIED.. LESS GIVES YOU MORE TIME .A BOUT 3 DROPS TO A GOLF BALL SIZE GLOB OF BONDO.. DO A FEW TEST GLOBS FIRST.. 1 DROP WILL STILL GET HARD.. OLD FIBERGLASS TRICK..FOR FILLETS.. LETS THE FILLET AND GLASS SET UP AT THE SAME RATE.. NO SHRINKAGE..

Closest I have ever seen is light blue, the light weight Evercoat I use. How come it has to be white Billy? You're going to be painting the plane anyways, right?

I picked up some Evercoat today which was darn near white ( a little more towards egg shell) and the hardener is pure white. I think this will work for what I'm doing.

Ian, white gel coated plane with seam lines. Finish color will still be white but I don't want to fill all the rivets and details in the skin. With this white filler, I should be able to go over it with a little coat of paint only, no primer to hide the filler.

It's all about preserving the sharp detail that came out of the mold.

Evercoat is good stuff, I've really been more impressed with it compared to Bondo. For sure.

Soo....what are you building mystery man?

EVER COAT IS HEAVY ,, USE SPLIT SECOND .LOOKS LIKE IT BUT MUCH ,L IGHTER

Billy - where did you get your Evercoat?

S

Joint down by my work called Ray's auto body, but there is a place closer to you over here on Sherman way called West Valley Auto color , they have it too.

I have some of the Splitsecond. worksgood seems a bit more yellowish though. But you're right, it is lighter. I won't be using much anyway.

Billy

Thanks man - see ya Tuesday

No problemo. Hey I might have to work Tues. Actually, I do, so it looks like I'm gonna have to wait till Thursday to fly.

Later, Billy

Evercoat is heavy? shakes my head.. most of it gets sanded off.. we are talking grams here. lol
