Default Re: evercoat poly-flex filler

easy guys I use to have flaking and peeling with evercoat glase ( can't remember the # ) on plastic > my remedy was a good scratching before use and be sure you have your mix right , not to much or to little hardner. I haven't used the new stuff yet as metioned by Spudd , soon though Oh , obviously make sure you have no impurities ie water , oil , etc .

Adhesion is only going to happen if the surface is scuffed. this is a must with any coating used in auto body work. the surface has to be scuffed/etched for a mechanical adhesion.

Default Re: evercoat poly-flex filler

thanks for all the help guys. I did lightly sand the body with 220 grit but either didn't scuff enough of didn't clean it well enough. I will get it figured out I hope

I have always used 3m bondo filler for my other scale rc projects, and never had peeling problem before, but it srinks to much for my liking . I have heard great stuff about the ever-coat so I will get this figured out.

again thanks for the help guys. nice to have forums like this
