How To Use Putty Glaze Over Bondo

[@purpleslil]

Someone should give you a pat on the back for sharing your experience and knowledge in this field. You seem like a humble person with a passion for teaching and sharing information you've learned in this profession. I enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing.

[@CarAddictGarage]

Thanks for the kind words and for watching the videos.

[@cosmicallyderived]

Amen to that earnest spirit of his; I can count on KZbin to reveal the best in America. Too much trash and synthetic types on mainstream media.

[@Kajuniter]

I'm doing my first body work at 66 years old. Always been intimidated and never tried it. Thanks for the tips and hands on, it definitely will help me feel more confident.

[@miscstuff4789]

I'm in my 50's and self-taught. Was worried about using two-stage paint but have painted 10-12 cars now and was fairly easy from the start. The bodywork and prep is where all the work is done so keep watching videos and don't be afraid to try stuff...

[@RBnPA]

Thanks for the the great video. I see that it was done several years ago but it’s the best I’ve run across! I was especially interested in the glazing putty portion. Your explanation, detail, experience and easy going manor is commendable! I’m 66 yrs old and have zero experience but with folks like yourself I’m able to do a project like this. I see you haven’t posted anything for a while. I’m sure making a video isn’t easy but it’s so valuable to dyi’rs like myself is very much appreciated!

[@CarAddictGarage]

Thank you. I have been busy, but I plan to make more in the future.

hey im not the best at body work but i can make do, i could never get the bondo completely smooth no matter how much i sanded or what grit i used.now i know about this glazing putty which is awesome. Thank you so much!!!

Thanks for watching!

[@mattm6834]

I find that one of the most important things to remember when block sanding filler is to use a coarse grit sandpaper to get the filler flat before going over it with 180-220. If you start out with paper that is too fine you filler with turn out wavy.

[@CarAddictGarage]

The red putty is a little different. That is a 1k product. The product I am using in the video is a 2k product. The 2k dries much faster and does not shrink like the 1k..

[@keithsinclair5611]

Hi Donnie. Just viewed your video on 'putty glaze over bondo'. Fantastic lesson. Many thanks. Keith.

[@CarAddictGarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@lizardking8388]

One very important piece of information you left out that you seem to be ignoring is to stop sanding when you see metal. Metal sands a lot slower that body materials, so if you continue sanding (as I see you are doing in this video), you are creating high spots (metal areas). You should stop sanding and apply more spot putty over the entire area where the metal is exposed to bring up the low spots.

[@CarAddictGarage]

I am glad you like the videos. I am in the process of making the videos with better audio and visual. It'e been a learn as I go process on the video editing. Thanks for watching!

[@CarAddictGarage]

3 Pointer....Many body filler have zinc, which aids in corrosion protection, but I agree, epoxy is excellent. If I have a lot of metal, if blasted for instance, I would epoxy the bare metal before doing the body work. Great tip, thanks for sharing.

[@davidriekedmin]

Great videos, Donnie! I watch almost all of them.

I usually do to rough up the low area. Just don't lose sight of where the low areas are.

You don't have to prime the area that's being glazed first ? Thanks for the video Denny looks like your doing it right😉

[@randyschrecengost5533]

No you most definitely do not. Using the glaze is what you do right before primer

[@keyworksales6241]

No because it should be body filled already. This is just sealer for body filler basically

[@martinmercerjr8615]

I have did body work in long time. My son car , a little paint came off. I try to just use red putty. But it did work good enough. So I have to use body putty. . Could I just use glazed putty. I still have a high spot, after I paint. Did not see it. Can use glaze putty over top of the paint, to make it smooth?

[@shaker3512002]

polyester putty should never go over paint or recently applied primer, although the manufactures say you can it will always sink around the outside edge.It may not happen right away but over a few months it's pretty much guaranteed to do so.Also NEVER EVER apply fillers up and down always spread the fillers as the wind would go over the car. Spreading it in a vertical application will make a whole lot more work to get the panel straight

[@sleepe361]

Hi donnie, but my question is..so from the first video repair to this one what if you didn't wanna use glazing putty. would you just have finished the work off by sanding with 150 grit or a little finer up to 180 grit?

[@JU5TBL4ZE]

150 to 220 grit, just so you're not priming over 80 grit. Usually people use glazing putty to fill pinholes and bring the grit up without going through the bondo.

[@orlandosantiago1343]

Hey man can you make a video explaining, what to use and why to use certain types of bundle in certain situations, can I apply normal bundle over paint or primer, and in what phase of the body work been done to a car can I use putty.

What's the most sandable sot putty on the market? I have tiny chips from stones hitting the hood, taking off the paint down to the metal. I don't want to send down the whole hood just for 20 pinholes

[@johncarraway634]

Hey Donnie, What can I do about weather stripping and seals after a car has been painted? Im scared the seals will stick out like a sore thumb.

[@JT-qf4it]

Never used putty before. I will from now on though. Trying to feather the filler to the paint has always been a pain.

[@wheelie._.b]

Ive been a drywall finisher for 13 years. Might have to get into this. It looks pretty easy. Im surprised to see you sanding with 150 though. If we do that with the putty it'll be scratch central after prime and paint.

[@jonathanyates5198]

He will prime the repair area and block it with 320 or 400 to fill the 150 scratches

[@rider660r]

That's why you don't sand drywall..............that and the mess sanding makes. If you know what you're doing just sponging it is all you have to do.Sponging will also fill in all the fine air bubbles that would get opened up with sanding.

[@peterrivney552]

Polyester puddy is not ment to be over 1/8" thick but it can be squeezed into stone chips providing there is no rust underneath the chips...I ask the owner what kind of job they want just make it look good for a couple of years or a restoration? If it is a look good then I go over the front end of the car with puffy filling in the chips squeeze it in tight just after I wash and wipe the car to remove wax and chemical residue once all the chips are filled then I check for dents a dimples repair those areas finish sanding those areas with 240 anything courser than 220 can end up to showing heavy scratches down the road do to sinkege of paint when it fully drys down the road... then apply a thin coat of puddy just for pinholes if needed prime that area then sand the car for paint...as well as the puddy on the hood was the car is sanded then washed with soap and water to wash out all the dust then dry, mask, and a final wash & wipe and it is ready for paint...I find no sence to sand the chips first unless it is a restoration project but for a quick clean up I had this last quite a few years for the small chips...

[@jonnyfowder]

We always finish out with 320's gives the primer nothing to shrink back into !!

Hi ! Thanks for the video I think it was very good. I was wondering if you can help me out. I have a Fiberglass Jeep CJ that was previously painted and now I am redoing the paint,I started out sanding the paint with a block and 400 grit and when I finished one side of the Jeep I put on guide coat and notice very small and light dark areas from front to back of the Tub (Fiberglass). My question is; Can I use 3M acrylic putty to fill them up or do I use body filler? and what grit of sand paper should I use to get the putty to grab? If you can answer me It will be appreciated ,Thanks.,

[@stevegriffin2626]

I see this question is 9 years old but for someone having the same problem is spray a sealer primer. There’s a difference between the two. The sealer primer does exactly what it says. It seals it under the primer so you don’t see it. If you prime something and you can see something, your paint coat won’t cover it up. You’ll see it again

my panel is pretty smooth ..I do have a few dime sized areas where it's approx 1/32 of inch low spots ...Will this fill those areas of do I need more body fill. the product I am using is called seal skin polyester glaze...thanks

[@CarAddictGarage]

Most glazes state up to 1/8 inch after sanded so you should be fine to use the glaze. The Seal Skin is by Crest and they don't actually say on their technical data sheet, but on other brands such as Metal Glaze from Evercoat, they say 3 mm - 1/8 inch max after sanded. So you should be good. Here is a link to Metal Glaze TDS www.evercoat.com/images/ePIM/original/TDSMetalGlazeUltra103625English.pdf

[@ronniea3655]

What kind is it what's the name

[@L477]

Kudos! Does glaze putty have issues in being applied over etch or surface primers? In your description it sounds like glaze putty is a miracle product that can be applied over any primed, filled or bare metal as well as over old pre-existing paint.

[@CarAddictGarage]

That is the one product I am not sure about. Etch primer has acid so it may react with the putty. But premium body fillers and glaze putty have zinc for corrosion protection so you really don't need to apply self etch before applying the putty.

[@L477]

Good info. I appreciate it.

How long can your sanded body filler and glaze putty job sit before applying primer?

[@CarAddictGarage]

There is to window on your body filler or glaze before priming as long as the filler is sanded.

[@jakefriesenjake]

I think that if you are going to let the panal sit for a long time, like a year, and especially in a non heated garage, you'd probably want to coat the panels in epoxy primer or a good primer sealer (not primer surfacer or high build primer, or filler, or metal or glazing putty). Epoxy and primer sealer are not porous, but the others are.

[@randyschrecengost5533]

How do you know when to stop sanding and move to primer that's where I'm struggling

When you felt everything's smooth after sanded with 400 grit
