waynekarnes Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Mike, there is a polyester bondo out there. from what i have read, it is the preferred skim to use. cruise local book store, check out current issue of street rodder mag. the one that talks about water color paint. they show skimming a hood with it. on one of the tv shows, the one with Boyd Coddington, they skim the whole side of a 56 chevy. used the polyester stuff, says it's more like a thick primer than a filler. wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
