Rusty Sierra Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 I'm trying to figure out what kind of putty I should be using for body modifications. I've finally gotten enough experience that I decided I would try doing a chop top and am baffled as to what to use for putty. I'm sorry if this is already been discussed. I browse the forums alot and have never seen anyone talk about a specific brand of putty. Thanks!
Foxer Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 The best is a two-part auto putty. Next, a one part auto putty for thin coatings where shrinkage won't be a problem.
Nitro Neil Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) The best putty I have found is the PROFESSIONAL Glazing and Spot Putty made by Bondo, part number 801. It is a two part putty and it comes in a tube. This is not the same as their Glazing and Spot Putty that doesn't say Professional. It is also much better than just plain old Bondo that comes in the can. It is lighter and sands easier than plain Bondo, and the edges feather very well for a nice smooth transition. It's the only stuff I use now. http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Marine/Home/Products/Catalog/?PC_7_RJH9U5230GE3E02LECIE20S4K7000000_nid=VKFD18548CgsS38K155C5RglRGQ6J96C9Sbl Edited May 12, 2012 by Nitro Neil
Rusty Sierra Posted May 13, 2012 Author Posted May 13, 2012 Also, I'm wondering what kind of glue I should be using to attach the roof back on. all I have is the testors tube glue right now but if anyone can tell me a specific brand that works well let me know!
Rusty Sierra Posted May 13, 2012 Author Posted May 13, 2012 Nevermind, I just went with my gut and used the tube glue... hope it will be alright
