Plug final surfacing
sgraber - 16/12/04 at 01:01 AM

Is this the poo (I didn't say POO btw!) to buy to cover my plug before final sanding?

Duratec Gray Surfacing Primer - Perfect for Plug Finishing and Hiding Repairs
http://www.fibreglast.com/showproducts-category-category-22.html#12

Or is there something else that is better?

I looked for a product called DuraBuild, but AFAIK it's a UK only product? (I'm USA based)

Alan B. used a home improvement product called Kilz hi-fill primer and it seemed to work ok, but is this Duratec really special?

Mr. G. I used to use stuff called Featherfill epoxy primer, Hi build and really stinky stuff. I use Nason (dupont)Urethane primer now that will hide 80 grit scratches...

Came across this the other day, don't know if it's much use as you're in the US, but here it is anyway!!

i use , upol reface - a high build polyester based paint , its thick so you can brush it on - i recomend you spray it on , its cheapish aswell , and can be treated like normal paint - ie it can be made to shine quite well .




that picture has a blue marker coat prior to sanding .

Steve will have a decko at the spec sheet tomorrow, I suspect that duarbuild is manufactured in the states as its supplied in U.S. Gallons, if i find out where will let u know tomorrow. What u paying for the upol, durabuild aint cheap??
