Fwank71 Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Hi all. New to the board and I have to say you guys are great and incredibly helpful. I have learned so much already. Anyway, here is my question. I did some searches , but I could not find the exact answer I needed. What I would like to know is in reference to filling the grain on a body prior to painting. I understand you need to do this, and since I work in the automotive industry I am familiar with body fillers, so I have decided to go this route. LGM recommends using a product called "Thin Ice". Am I correct to assume that this works for grain filling? 1) Apply very thin then sand down? 2) Is Thin Ice a "glazing putty"? 3) Will this work to properly fill the grain prior to priming? <---most important. 4) If so, where can I buy Thin Ice? 5) Thank you Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickguard Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 and since I work in the automotive industry I am familiar with body fillers Gonna answer a question with a question... When I was buying my paint/primer/finish (automotive rattle cans), they had a couple of different fillers in rattle cans too --one was a thick spray, the other was a thinner filler... I'm wondering if the thinner version of these is suitable as a sealer? The only other sealer I've been able to find here is brush on and looks black (which will be nice for my next project).
