Anyone else tried using polyfiller instead of car filler/ bondo?
I was using car filler on my stargate chevron which is a wood and foam build, and was getting fed up with the smell and the fact that no matter how little hardener I used it always dried before I could do much with it. I had a pollyfiller squeeze bottle in my toolbox and I thought I would try it on the build. I have to say I’m pretty impressed, no smell, dries in an hour, sets hard as car filler and sands to a nice smooth finish. The cost is about a ¼ of car filler and a big bonus is that it’s ready mixed so you just squeeze out what you want to use. Pollyfiller is the brand name of a decorator’s filler for plaster or wood. Most big hardware chains have their own brand that is even cheaper. Make sure you buy the fine surface type
