Professional Advice
For best results with body fillers and putties, remember these professional tips:
- Temperature affects curing time - warmer conditions accelerate hardening
- Never apply filler over rust, paint, or primer - always work on bare, clean metal
- Use the appropriate filler for the substrate (steel, aluminum, plastic, etc.)
- Apply primer over the sanded filler before painting to prevent moisture absorption
- Store unused product in a cool, dry place with containers tightly sealed
