What happens if you get bodyfiller wet?

I did some work on the BMW of doom yesterday (my 540i do-er upper) including fibreglassing and filling some holes in the bodywork. I had intended to sand and prime it this afternoon but now it's been raining and it's all wet!!!

Am I going to have to sand off all the filler and do it again? Not the end of the world I know but still a complete PITA.





Had enough of this dictatorship known as LCB. Gone elsewhere, not coming back. Kiss my ass ChrisW.

Aye, as long as you make sure it's completely dry before applying another layer or paint it's fine. As Miks said, just like using wetted sandpaper





If disfunction is a function, then I must be some kind of genius.

Ain't no problem. I did the sills on my tintop (filler over seam welded sheet thank you very much ) last summer when it pissed down all the time. It was rarely more than 15 minutes from application before the heavens opened. Just let it dry whilst having a cuppa and onwards and upwards. No problems yet!!!
