Re: Is automotive body filler suitable for a boat?
Well, unfortunately business is slow so we are able to work on the sea doo. It's making some progress. I'll get some pics up soon.
For a filler/fairing we used 3m glass bubbles, resin and cabosil. Works great and is not that hard too sand. We have the main shape now. My next question is about a product we like to use on our custom fiberglass panels and subwoofer boxes. We use Evercoat Featherfill G2 for the final coat. It fills a lot of scratches,divits and is like butter to sand. Do we think its good to use above water line on the sea doo? Here is the product.
I'm trying to convince the owner/boss to let us paint this instead of gelcoat. It's much less work and this thing MIGHT see the water 1 day a year. He really wants gel though. Probably because hes not doing the sanding!
Thanks guys. I promise I'll get some buid pics. So far we have the front pods almost complete. We have the rear pods glassed in and the handlebar controller is formed. It's gonna be cool!
