This topic seems to start more arguments than who shot first. Han or Greedo......
I have been encouraged to shoot my project with epxoy primer prior to doing the body/filler work. I have used epoxy over body filler before but never under it.
I have read about a 1000 different posts in regards to Filler first vs epoxy then filler. And it seems to be a matter of preference
Back when I did paint and body work for a living we never put filler over anything other than bare metal. But my expertise ends about circa 1982
So 2 questions:
1.If I use epoxy primer first how long should I let it "Cure" before applying the filler? Until all the solvents are gone or during the 7 day recoat period that most of them seem to have.
2. Can I use short strand fiberglass filler over the epoxy primer. And is the application time frame the same as filler?
Just trying to update my old brain and techniques.
Thanks as always.
