Simple idea for mixing bodyfiller
Permalink  

I'm always looking for a suitable surface to mix body filler on and usually it's a piece of cardboard I toss out after one use. Here's a simple idea I saw on a Youtube video:

This mixing board has 100 mixing sheets. Mix your filler and tear off a sheet leaving a fresh one for the next batch. 25 bucks on Amazon.

Started using at least 10 years ago at place of work.Great time saver and kept filler clean.I think at the the time there were other brands out there.We always used short stand filler over weld areas as first layer then switched to premium filler as a top coat as it was easier to sand.

I've been applying a coat of epoxy primer over the welds first before applying bondo to seal the metal from the bondo as bondo can absorb moisture from the air and cause rust.

Epoxy over bare metal if using bondo on top.
Bondo over etch primer, no.
