What to put on top of glass to get rid of pin hole
Saturday, May 28, 2005 5:13 AM
I have a few pin holes that need to be touched up on some fiberglass work i did and a couple low spots. Nothing major. What can i use to fill it in?

Im asking cuz i got some Bondo Filler puty which is suppose to be used for that but it seems like it takes forever to harden and is not what i was looking for.

And now it is not put on thick at all very very thin.
thanx
Jon

Yeah to smooth it out most people put on some sort of body filler, like I've heard Rage Gold is good, it's what the guys who do Alpine's show cars use. Usually it goes on pretty thick but you start sanding it with really coarse sandpaper while it's still like clay consistency and you'll end up sanding most of it off, but makes it perfectly smooth. Go to Alpine's website www.alpine1.com and look at their demo cars, they have complete step by step how they did their cars maybe something will inspire you.

Use a glazing putty and spread it over the entire dash then sand.......no more pin holes. Evercoat workd good but if you want to go the cheaper way Bondo makes glazing putty also. Use a high build primer also to fill in the scratches.

For pin holes I use either "Icing", or "Dolphin Glaze" $15. You can buy these at Napa or E&G Auto parts stores. Both are the same idea, very light and thin forms of body fillers to fill in pin holes. Still needs about an hour to harden enough not to clog 220 grit sandpapers. But is very easy to sand. In fact you will sand most of it away so it is only filling the holes. We normally do 2 applications to make sure there are no dips.
