- Here is one way to get your body filler work done a little faster. It takes several applications of filler to get where you want to be so this method helps to shorten that process. #bodywork #c10 #stoutcustom

I love watching your work. Constantly reminding me there are no short cuts. No matter how long I have done this (long enough to know better), I keep thinking, "this time it will work." Nearing the final coat of filler yesterday I only filled the lows spots and BAM!! WAVY, wavy, wavy. This is dusty, repetitive, hard work and there are NO exceptions to slow and steady. Excellent channel
Very true Rick. Thank you and thanks for watching!
Very nice information especially with the rasp. They take material off fast and flat sold in both curved & flat shapes. Just practice with these as you can quickly loose all of your filler onto the floor. Simply lite strokes under control, at the in between hard and soft. You have to find that sweet spot to remove the top 1/16".
Yes. This☝️
As far as keeping your sand paper cleaned out get a small wire brush. When the paper starts to get loaded up give it a swipe or two with the brush been doing this for years. I hate using air to blow things off in the shop. I use a rat tail brush on panels first then follow with a shot of air! I just did a square body bed and the place over the wheel arch corners must be a factory hump it turned into a bunch of work getting it all flat back to the taillight.
They all seem slightly different to me. Some will work you to death for sure. Thanks for watching!
I get so much great information out of watching your videos. And I'm just getting to the filler work on my project (though mine will never be as nice as yours) so the timing of this video is perfect. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Happy to share my friend. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
When I wiped my truck I did the same method you explained here. It seems as if once I started sanding and removed the very top "layer" it opened it up and the filler would dry even faster. It was workable...but its funny how it will dry at different rates! Good video sir! Can't wait to see it finished 👊
When I did most of this it was about 85 degrees. Dried quick with little of the ideal work time. The next day was in the low to mid 70’s. Seemed like I had plenty of time to shape it before it sat up. Always changing for sure.
Nice.
Thanks!
Lol I’ve spent hours and hours watching you sand on these things. Learn something new every video to the point I’m almost ready to start trying to get my 85 K5 primed ready for paint.
Might as well get out there and make it happen, lol.
@@StoutCustom had the blaster here Friday to do the inside floor and underside/firewall etc. It's happening but slow. ua-cam.com/users/shortsRj9p849tv4I?feature=share
Very useful. I'm working on the same bed, in some of the same places. I'm about a week behind where you are, so very nice to see the road in front of me.
Cool. It’s a bumpy road but not for long, lol
Very cool video!!
Thanks sidebar!
Looking good. Thanks for the great tips. You make it look easy but that’s what a pro does I’m just fixing to start the bed on a 72 it needs lots of help but is straight
Thanks. It sure helps to start out with something that’s not in too bad of shape. Still a lot of work though. Good luck on your truck and thanks for watching!
You make that look easy. I've been struggling with my '73 for months.
It just takes patience, persistence, sometimes beer, and well…mostly more beer, lol. Keep at it. You will get there.
Add some Evercoat Plastik Honey. Makes it so much better.
Used it years ago. Might have to get another can of it and give it a shot again. Thanks for watching!
When I get to.the 40 grit stage and paper starts to clog easily we just use a wire brush to clean paper.
10-4. Gonna try that next time and see if it works for me. Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!
Yes everyone would be amazed by how much harder they was putting into the mix after using a scale lol Have you heard if the mix is spread out on board instead of one pile it slows hardening process
Hmmm I kinda sorta think I may have heard that somewhere. Maybe it makes more heat faster if it’s piled together? Not sure on that one. When I first started weighing the hardener I realized why I always ran out of hardener before the filler was gone, lol
@@StoutCustom Yes that’s the reason it takes longer spread out reduces heat
Its really cool seeing how much detail and effort goes into all this, as well as the lessons of experience. Great video as always
Thank you and thanks for watching!!
Lots of work 👍👍👍👍going to be sweet .
Absolutely! Thanks for watching!
I can tell you have wipes some mud in your life time! I recognize the technique
Maybe a time or twelve, lol. Thanks for watching!
Great job!! I love the way you explain everything. Keep up the great work, I can’t wait until the next video.
Thanks Neil!
What percent harder did you use the second time?
Think I dropped down to about 1.5
Where can I get some of that color change filler?
Amazon my friend! Link in description below the video. Check it out!
Nice job again and very informative. I love these videos that actually teach you something you can use. Thanks and keep posting,fantastic
Great video i wish body work was as easy as you make it look
@@jimbennett1519 thanks JB!
@@budmoore8144 lol
You aint far off from needing another project! You wanna take on body work and paint on a 69 C10 for me? Im in SE Alabama and there is nobody down here does anything close to your work and judging from the way you talk you dont sounc to far away from me🤪
Lol. I hope I’m not far from finishing this thing maybe selling it and taking an extended vacation where I don’t smell bondo for a while, lol.
I have some family close to cottonwood Alabama. You close to there?
Man I heard that! Little time off aint a bad thing.
I’m close enough to cottonwood that my kid played against cottonwood in an all star baseball tournament Friday of last week!
@@brdarley very cool. I lived in Dothan for a few years back in the mid 90’s. Always liked south Alabama.
Small world dude. 99% of the work I do is in Dothan. Live about 10 min north of dothan
First comment!
Whoop whoop🙌🙌!!
